Create your own designs inspired by the tiles of William de Morgan. Save your finished design in the gallery, print it, and send it to friends.
From Wiki: William Frend De Morgan (16 November 1839 15 January 1917) was an English potter and tile designer. A life-long friend of William Morris, he designed tiles, stained glass and furniture for Morris & Co. from 1863 to 1872. His tiles are often based on medieval designs or Persian patterns, and he experimented with innovative glazes and firing techniques. Galleons and fish were popular motifs, as were "fantastical" birds and other animals. Many of De Morgan's tile designs were planned to create intricate patterns when several tiles were laid together.
Pretty pretty fun educational!
Thank you for this link! I have forwarded it to everyone in my family!
Love this kind of stuff! Perfect extension and reinforcement for Math. I’ll have to forward it to our Math teacher. Maybe he can use it next year.

I got lost between the lizards and the plants.
Just like in real life!
ROTF!!!
Figured I'd go for glaringly tacky instead.
Behold! Lizards in the Weeds!
I’m such a Philistine, I actually like that. I’d love it in a bathroom - on the border tile, and on the shower curtain. (But I don’t know much ... according to three consecutive drool-specked posts on the meth thread, I’m just a stupid liberaltarian.)
