I seem to have glazed over my newest, funnest thing- Daily Tile.
So I thought I'd best get the word out properly. It goes something like this - I'm managing to blog quite consistently, but now facebook and twitter?? What's there to say so often?
Then I thought- how about a favorite tile a day? Just that- nothing more. It could be a tile from one of those big tile companies (you know the ones), or a tile artisan (maybe not so familiar), an artist making singular art tiles (who?), or a tile stumbled upon in a book, on a blog, or on my travels.
I love it! I've missed a day here or there- but if you check it out, you'll see this daily history unfolding. I know, it's just this facebook thing that's happening, but imagine how fun it could be to convince all of you to join in the fun by submitting your own favorite tiles- yes?? Anyone???
Well, as if on cue- the other day Martin was in our public library and found this surprising little book called 500 Tiles. Juried by Angelica Pozo, it's a book filled with 500 exceptionally unique art tiles created by artists from around the globe. I've seen a kasmillion art tiles in my day, but would have to say this book was a fun surprise filled with 500 tiles I'd never seen before. Can you say -Daily Tile?
And here's just a peak of a few of the 500-

If you'd care to join me on my Daily Tile quest you can follow me on twitter or facebook (top right icons). However, the very best would be if you'd ALSO send me your own favorite tiles just as you find them.
