These tiles will go on the outside of an outdoor fireplace. They’re painted on 3” tiles because the end of it is rounded, in a tight enough curve that they needed to be that small. It’s 3’ straight on either side and the middle 4’ of this will be the rounded end. I hate working on 3’ tile. There are just so many of them to number and keep track of and, at least in this case, they come on a sheet held together by dots of glue. I try to cut off as much of the glue as I can because it smells so horrible when I fire it. And I have to do a separate firing to burn the glue off because the burning glue will affect some of the china paint colors. But I like the image, which is all animals that are likely to end up on the grill. The pig goes to the right of the sheep.

Here's a fun one!  This is a batch of 50 4 1/4" tiles that are destined for a couple of bathrooms in a house in Colorado, with all kind of cowboy and Western images.  She later ordered 20 more for her kitchen.
