The green underglaze that I used for the background doesn't like the clear glaze over it, which resulted in a brown or washed out effect in areas. The darker green on the leaves came out much better, and I will probably use it again, but with a different green in the background. I was pleased with the white and yellow parts of the flowers, but next time I make tiles from this mold I will probably spend some more time perfecting each individual tile. At the workshop I was just trying to get several made in a short timeframe. The back of each tile could use some work as well, but since I don't have an air compressor, I'll have to carefully extract them and go back and smooth the surface.
I don't plan to list these prototypes in my Etsy shop, but I have learned a great deal from them and I think the next round will be even better.

I think they are gorgeous tiles. From what I can tell from the pic's is the glaze gives an older, vintage look. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Great work.
They're beautiful !!!!! And in a roundabout way, souvenirs of your trip to Hawaii .....
