Paper Tiles

Favorite thing: I have a collection of old tiles in my digital photobook. When visiting ancient European towns  you can find antique tiles displaced on the outside of old buildings. It's a delight to walk around and enjoy the inner cities. I know I never got tired of it as I was always "discovering" new beautifull colours, prints and delicate drawings that I hadn't even seen yet. Below some old tiles from our latest visit to Namur (Belgium).



You can imagine how excited i am to find on the web the collection of Victorian paper tiles from Louise Body. She designed 7 different tiles and they are truly an economical alternative to decorative ceramic tiles. Ohh i love them!
