Asking questions, open minds

Looking in between

Seeking love, and various kinds

Of creatures yet unseen

Taking chances, bravely stride

Beyond the realms we know

With magic hoping to collide

To feel our spirits grow

Stepping closer to the brink

We ponder mythic themes

Through the veil, with mother sync

World of wonder,  faerie dreams.

Decorative handmade ceramic crane tile

6 x 6 Crane tile done in a mocha cream gloss glaze.

One of the most frequently mentioned birds of the ancient Irish & British tradition, the crane represents secret knowlege, patience & longevity. The same symbolism is attributed to the crane in Chinese culture as well, where next to the phoenix it is the most favored of all the bird symbols.

Cranes dance in circles, which the ancients associated with both the movement of the sun and their role as guides, leading souls out of incarnation and back again to birth ( the stork?) Many cultures around the world were known to enact ritual crane dances, using nine steps and a leap while weaving in and out of a maze pattern to symbolize the journey of the soul.

How we make our handmade ceramic tiles

Here's a link to a short step by step of how we make our tiles.

Handmade Celtic Ceramic tile installation

Here's a picture of one of our 30 x 30 Celtic tile sets in the process of being installed. We don't do installing ourselves, we just make the tiles, but we do recomend shopping around for a setter that's had some experience with handmade tiles. Because of the variations there is often more "eyeballing" and minor adjustments to be done than you'll get with most manufactued tiles. thetiledoctor.com is a pretty informatve site if your planning on doing your own tile setting.
