The
simplest solutions are often the most satisfying. I loved
the clean lines of this bowl, actually an isolated piece
from a fountain. The irridescence of the iridium tiles
were used to their best advantage on the curved edges.
They catch the light no matter where the sun is.
The
use of wave patterns to frame emblematas in centuries old
floors inspired the use of a stark black/white wave pattern.
The pieces for the crest of the waves were cut to 1/16
the size of the original 3/4" tiles. The small size
of the border was essential to allow the field of circular
white tiles to be a statement on their own. This area was
filled in with 2 varieties of white and one blue.
