Shard and Tile Edged Mirrors
Shard boarders are comprised of bits of
glazed and unglazed terra cotta worn smooth by tumbling and sometimes bits of
faux antiquities (I used to say body bits, people took exception...) These are
porcelain and raku forms taken from molds of small sections of Greek tourist
art: parts of Goddesses, architectural details, Athena's owl, even a butt or
two... Color range on shards are somewhat limited.
The tile boarders on mirrors can be in any color (though ceramic hues are not as
precise as a Windsor Newton chart.) You are invited to send me bits
of broken china, tile which have meaning to you - I can incorporate them into a
mirror
Generally, shard and tile mirror are powdercoated, and the standard boarder on them is approximately 1 1/2" wide. Production time of shard and tile mirrors runs to 4 to 6 weeks because of the extra processes.
