Beautiful. Are these your work? Is it a glaze, or a paint, or what? I'd like to do my kitchen counter with something that gorgeous and rich in color – or even better, my bathroom floor!

Thanks! I paint them with alcohol inks. If you would put it in your house, you would probably want to cover it with varnish. They are so fun to do!

Those are stunning! Alcohol inks on what kind of tile? Great job!

These are ceramic floor tiles that I found at our local hardware resale shop. You can get a whole sheet of them for pocket change. They are already smooth, glazed tiles, like the kind you would buy for your floor.
