Can mirrors painted with Folk Art Enamel or Liquitex Glossies be heat set in home oven without cracking?
Why don’t you use a hair dryer instead? I think an oven would do something funky to the mirror backing, plus those paint fumes are not something you need to be breathing in, know what I mean?

Design Trends in Hand-painted Ceramic Art Tile
Everyone who has some major redesigning ideas for their kitchen or bath has a secret desire to know what OTHER people are doing. Even if they do not have any intention of imitating or copying others’ ideas, they still want to believe their ideas are not too far out.
The last couple years have been exciting for hand-painted tile. The overwhelming trend for kitchen and bathroom tile murals has been tropical fish. In multi-tile scenes with their natural environment of corals and rocks, and in single accent tiles to scatter around the room for effect, more people chose fish as their design theme than any other subject.
One reason for the popularity of tropical fish as a design theme, I believe, is because there is such a huge variety of colors that any preconceived color scheme can be accommodated with some or other species, no matter what. Even if blue/green is the main color, the fish can float in their natural color background with no distracting rocks or brightly colored corals.
Another reason could be because the idea for hand-painted tiles to beautifully accent a room’s decor often comes, in typical human fashion, AFTER the basic colors have already been chosen. What theme has so many colors to match with as tropical fish?
They are also great as an abstract theme as well. They are as wonderful in a whimsical, cartoonish style as they are in a realistic style. Kids love the fun ones in their tub and shower walls. Adults seem to like the more somber, darker colored abstracts, such as the copper-colored weather-vane look, with a greenish patina, an awesome mural in the kitchen!
Silhouettes are popular too. Many fish species have a distinct profile that is easily recognizable in silhouette. Use varying colors and the effect is marvelous! Interspersed with silhouettes of other sea items like coral, shells, and other nautical items, and you have a one-of-a-kind art theme in your own special space.
Believe it or not, even dead fish, done in a realistic style, can be painted to look excellent, rather like the way they look laid out in a market bin. It has a “French poster” look to it that goes very well in some country-style decors. Of course, this style works best with food fish, as opposed to tropical fish species.
There really is no end to the marvelous themes and schemes that can be created using fish as a basic motif, whether food, game or tropical fish are used. Work with a tile artist who is open to all your ideas and she will create a magical space that will be tireless and timeless.
I believe that with so many people catching on to the fish theme, this will be the hottest trend for years to come. Especially within all-white tile walls, the bright colors set off anything and everything you wish to accesorize, and these things can be changed every year and your tile will always have a color within that matches.

Where could I get those wall painting / art painting style of wall clock (3 panel type) for my new renovation?
We are planning to renovate our flat in the modern contemporary style. We are going to buy a wall clock for our living room and another one for our contemporary style bedroom.
We used to see some shops selling wall painting or digital art type of wall clock. How do you call those? art clock? I want to find a set of 3 panel painting clock (3 pieces in similar picture or image). Do you know where could I get them? My budget is below $200 for the living room one and below $100 for the bedroom.
Thanks!
Contemporary mdoern design is about simplicity with bold colours like red, white or black. You got to first decide on your furniture colour theme, before you move on to decide on other accessories like wall clock, wall paintings etc.
I know that there is this online shop (www.hourstyle.com) in Singapore which offers wide range of wall paintings and wall clock, in the 3-panel style that you wanted. The price range is about $40 to $95 base on my last check.
They have categorized a number of designs under the simplicity / modern gallery: http://www.hourstyle.com/gallery-for-hourstyle/browse-by-theme/simplicity-in-modern-style/
I like these designs:

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
