~LA TAREA SABROSA~~THE TASTY TASK~


~LA TAREA COCHINERA~~THE MESSY TASK~

                                           

~SERIE DE VIñEROS~~WINEMAKER SERIES~

We have 2 sets of this 6 piece series available. Here are the first 2 "chapters" of the story. Made in Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato, they are reminiscent of antique French country style ceramics. I love using these in kitchen & bar back-splashes. They combine well with a mixture of talavera 4"x4" that use the same colors.
On to the next 4......

~ANGEL EN SU NICHO~~ANGEL IN HIS NICHE~

We created this special niche for an angel we bought in Patzcuaro, Michoacan. Using a small corner is an easy way to create these very special places.  They won't obstruct traffic while adding a peaceful note to your environment.

This one uses a patterned, textured Saltillo terra-cotta tile for the base. Hnad-cut and modeled cantera and travertine stone accents as well as talavera tile and glass droplet tiles. All of it from our beloved MEXICO!!!

Just a few weeks away from taking new pics for clearer images. I've been trying to hold off, but since I've been getting page views and returning viewers, so not wishing to dissapoint, I dared another. Thanks for looking!

~THE BEGINNING~~EL PRINCIPIO~

My beloved original tile sign, still in Sonora. Hand cut using tile from Saltillo & Tecate, a labor of love and our symbol for over a decade. We'll be bringing it back with us this Summer. It will be gracing the back wall of our new "Tile Annex" to Galeria Colibri.

We're pretty excited about our new, actually, re-newed enterprise. Another mission of the Sonora trip is to take better pictures of the many homes and tile projects we have built during our time in Puerto Peñasco. Better quality images to be showcased online.

That's it for now...stay tuned!
