These outdoor showers are a beautiful way to dress up a garden wall, swimming pool area or side-yard. Aside from their obvious function of showering off sand & salt or chlorine, so as to not track it through the house we make sure to include a low faucet for filling buckets or attaching a hose.
This "Bougainvillea & Hummingbird Mosaic" is one of my favorite beach showers. This is the fifth rendition of my design. They all come out a little differently. I have a lot of fun designing the planters as a collage of talavera tiles, drawing the twisted trunks and the vibrant mixtures of flowers & leaves. The hummingbird wings are detailed in ribbed tiles called 'astriados'. We have such a wonderful rainbow array to work with...it's as if I have a crayon box full of shine & texture!
