I went to Lowe's to get some tumbled tiles, and spotted these scrabble-tile sized glass tiles, on clearance for just over $2! I grabbed one, thinking I would group them together in sets for coasters, and individually for pendants. I had so much fun, that the next time I was out of town, I stopped by to pick up more. However, they were all gone, and I did not want to pay full price! But I then saw the same size, this time in more counter-top style, on clearance. This time, I grabbed two sets! I think I am addicted to these! One of my favorite stamping companies, smARTworks, has a ton of inchies and "little bits" which are perfect for these tiles. The inchies have a frame, but the tiles are smaller than that, which is great for the these!
The tile at the bottom right did not photgraph really well, but I embossed it in gold, then affixed Yuzen Washi paper to it. If I can find a way to attach tiles without grout, and seal it well, I think these would turn into a classy set of coasters!

These are adorable! I have a whole lot of ceramic tiles at my Mom's house available to me and I've only used a couple of them. I need to pull them out and do something with some of them. These are great!
