Saluki Tile

Here is a tile I just completed for someone and I love the piece. The colors are a beautiful golden brown with highlights of blue, green and yellow. The artwork is an original drawing and the entire tile is made from polymer clay, the Saluki in the corner is sculpted while the tile is stamped and etched with various markings. The piece is then painted and the jewelry pieces added at the end. The most challenging part of doing these tiles comes at the end while deciding what jewels will best fit the piece and make the entire piece flow.
