Atomium, Belgium

Belgium; a land of airy waffles, decadent chocolate and a wide variety of beer. But when it comes to famous sites, I struggled with finding a site that other people could identify. I know that the Expo '58 Atomium isn't that famous, but it is iconic and a fun challenge. I'm pleased to get convincing chrome spheres with just 3 colors. Both the building and the tile are a simple construction, just needed to be done carefully. Enjoy!

Lesotho, in depth

I have been working on a few new tiles and I wanted to go through a little of the process of of putting one of these together. Let's look at my tile for Lesotho. Lesotho is famous for its ponies and majestic Drakensberg Moutains.  I sourced a few pictures: - a horse and rider (to be adjusted with a Basotho hat) - misty mountains  - and the Three Rondavels (famous mountains in the Drakensbergs) The misty mountains have the color scheme and some the mountains. The silhouette of the Three Rondavels become the rest of the background and some of the foreground. The horse and rider silhouette with a proper hat finishes the tile.

Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

I remember a friend telling me about a beautiful lake with stunning reflections. (An interested conversation because they were Chinese and there is a similar place in China called Qinghai.) I found a good image of the lake, dried and showing the salt flats. With a lot of time and a limited color palette, the final tile is complete. Enjoy.
