Our Turtle Tiles Express Your Shining Delight In Earth's
Majestic Oceans!
"The happiness of the bee and the dolphin is to exist. For
man it is to know that and to wonder at it."
So said Jacques Yves Cousteau, whose exuberant feelings for the
world's oceans never dulled throughout his long life. Ours is a
water planet, 70% covered in oceans, lakes, rivers and steams. For
so many of us, the creatures of the sea evoke feelings of mystery,
admiration and curiosity. If thinking about a sea turtle gracefully cruising the ocean makes you happy,
why not express that good feeling in your home? Our turtle tiles are
beautifully hand-painted, showcasing the spirit of these amazing sea
creatures. They may be grouted into any tiling project, used as wall art
or fine coasters. Decorative tiles offer you a chance to
personalize different rooms in your home so that they say something
about the people who live there, and if you love the sea and turtles, our turtle
tiles will let what delights you shine through!
A Turtle Tile Theme
Makes A Serene And Charming Room
They've inhabited the Earth for 200 million years and some have
been known to live for more than 150 years. Here is an animal that
bespeaks calm, patience and wisdom with a humble form and sage
face that charms so many of us. Divers have reported feeling utter joy
when one of the giant sea turtles has allowed them to hitch a short
ride through the waves and those of us who live near woodland ponds
treasure the sight of tiny turtles sunning themselves on the rocks.
If you are looking to add a timeless, classic symbol to a bathroom,
fireplace, counter top or mosaic, allow us to suggest turtle tiles
for your consideration.
A very effective use of tiles as decorative as the turtle tiles
featured on this page is to mix them in with beautifully-glazed
solid color tiles. Imagine a counter top done in earth tones -
maybe sage green or copper, embellished randomly with focal points
of turtle tiles. Tiles are so square and blocky, they can
accidentally lead those new at interior design to line them up like
rows of dull soldiers. For a more natural, interesting finished
look, aim for a more scattered placement of plain tiles vs. picture
ones. The end result will be freer and draw the eye here and there,
rather than looking like a blank because the pattern is too
regimented. Our advice - let our turtle tiles swim freely about
your project and you'll love the effect!
For a long time, our culture thought of space as the 'final
frontier', but over the past few decades, scientists have taught us
that our own seas are virtually unexplored territory. Do you know
that to date we have explored less than 5% of the Earth's oceans?
Our first trips into the deep have yielded wonders, marvels and
oddities that might just as well hail from outer space, so 'alien'
are they! Imagine a world of fish flashing neon lights, giant
turtles and lakes of salt on the ocean floor.
