Vase

[Qwerty]

Funny, I've been thinking of doing something similar recently. I've always made little "plaques" out of left over grout for my customers or do them on site to take home for my daughters! A bit of fun, but they love it Customers with young children love making handprint plaques!

Here is one I did recently and fixed to my daughters play house. I painted it in masonry paint as the mapei cement grey grout was a touch drab! I just use a tile spacer or rubi wedge to scribe the letters out.



I'm often making little people and characters out of left over adhesive too. I've made a few shed doorstops out of left over addy which resembled a hedgehog.

Always make coasters and placemats when on a slate job.
Not a touch on your vases though! Great stuff!

I have looked at a lot of Rainers work......he can tile

There are a few of us Brits that have been invited by Rainer Mitterbiller (Rainsco) to be part of the Fliesenleger Pro group on Facebook. Now this group of predominantly German pro tilers turn out some jaw dropping work!

I do a lot of on-site fabrication, skirting, window cill, shelves, treads and risers, what I would class as small works. A lot of the time we will have slabs for vanity units delivered and we template, cut and polish our selfs, I have loads of photos of different examples of what can be achieved with a flex. It's all on couple of the other forums.

Other forums!?! You're mistaken sir! There ARE no other forums..... :smilewinkgrin:

Darren, I got to thinking about these vases today, and was wondering if you fill and seal the backs of the tiles, so they don't end up with water marks? Or is that just being ott!?!

I have never bothered, but that's a good shout, and wouldn't take long to do

I joined and and had a look at some of the work . some real quality but rainer is way better than any of the others as he is on our forum.its not just his tiling/stone fixing abilities it is more the whole package he can offer a client with his drawings /visualisations etcc.
i showed some of the more unusaul stone fixing i do especially with antique reclaimed and found that some liked it and others indifferent probably because i dont fix the correct german way.
rainer has said that they do not have forums like ours in germany because the time served pros have no time for non toimed served people like my self whatever work they put out.
this is why rainer likes tiler forum as there is a mix of all sorts of oddballs that ended up in tiling game
