New Design, Sandhill Cranes! What started as a suggestion might be my new obsession 😄 Beautiful birds, but have you seen their colts ( babies)? Swoon!

Congratulations, Emily, a well-deserved honor! Can't wait for the book to come out!
emuarttile.bsky.social Emily Ulm @emuarttile.bsky.social · Jan 27
My tiles are in a book! "Handmade Tiles: Creative Techniques" by Marion Brandis features techniques from a broad range of amazing tilemakers, and it is such an honor to be among them. If you're interested in learning to make handmade tiles, I highly recommend this book... emutile.com/blogs/handma...

Just read that the Great Lakes are at about normal for ice this time of year. Seems light to me, but I do like seeing some blue skies for a change! 😎 #blueskies #Lakehuron #ice #rogerscitymi #winter
Looking through trees at Lake Huron ice cover. Only the shore has ice and there is a fair amount of open water for this time of year. First bit of sun we have had in a while too🥴

Prepping plates for sgraffito today. I get a little creative block at this stage, maybe because the possibilities are endless.🤷‍♀️. I always think, "Now what?" 🤔
