That Crafty Dragonne – Tile Artwork

This is a wonderful site that you must check out.  My nephew and his wife are some very talented folks that take your artwork, a favorite photograph, or choose from their many images available to put on simulated tile to create a real work of art.  Check out the introduction below and a sample image from their process.

That Crafty Dragonne by Michael and Dorthea Gilbreath 

We create simulated ceramic tile artwork from prints of all sizes.   The difference is that it is all done on a purely wood based backing!  The finished pictures have the feel and look of ceramic tile without the weight or fragility of ceramic.   These versatile works of art come in a beautifully hand cut frame so they can be hung just like a picture.   The print is protected by the resin coating giving it a resilient shine!   We also create custom pieces that can be used as kitchen or bathroom backsplash, coasters, or tabletop inserts.  Truly, we have only just begun to explore the possibilities of this form of artwork.

You can see their work at the WSU Mom’s Weekend Craft Fair at Beasley Coliseum in Pullman, WA on the following dates:

 Apr 12th – 10am to 9pm
 Apr 13th – 9am to 4pm

Michael and Dorthea created a work of art for us out of one of our images.  I will post that on a follow up post.  You must check out their site for further details of their process.  They can create custom tile artwork for you as well but be prepared these cost more to ship than your average print but it is well worht it!
