Thank you Wendy and Cy

2 more tiles in the works. I'm not sure how a mold would work out for these? Because they are not hollow I don't think a slip mold would work. I suppose you could make a giant sprig mold but it might be hard to get the tile out. I am thinking about some sort of a stamp for them. Maybe Plexiglas base with puff paint or smooth cord glued to the Plexiglas. Plexiglas would allow alignment on the clay and you can set the Plexiglas over a printed paper to make the lines. Roll out the clay to desired thickness, set the stamp on top, press it down to make the impressions, remove the stamp, cut out on the marks, clean up and done. Might work. I could use this technique to make my little jade tile coasters I have always wanted :D

I just found out that MD 20/20 stands for Mogen David and not for Mad Dog. My TC name AND my teenage years are a sham :(
