Stained Glass Windows using digital technology.

Imagine stained glass art with all the vibrance, depth, texture and color of real stained glass, but without its limitations and expense. Imagine, too, this stained glass art meshed with a real “window” and then printing this image on a huge variety of surfaces, like glass tile to tumbled marble tile to even tote bags, lazy susans, serving trays and glass clocks. Is it possible? Yes. We’re doing it right now.

Color Bakery has taken our stained glass art to the next level by embedding the artwork into beautiful, ornate, classic windows. Here is an example:

Color Bakery can take any image from any of our galleries and embed them into windows of different styles, colors, periods, decor eras. The result? Astonishing and uniquely beautiful. Please post any questions you have or feel free to comment.

Beautiful, colorful butterfly art on tiles and more.

Butterflies are one of my favorite subjects. Besides their beauty, the symbolism of the ugly duckling chrysalis’ metamorphosis into one of nature’s most stunning creates is an allegory too delicious to ignore.

We have about twenty original art butterfly images in our Emergence Collection, all available for custom printing on all our products. See our online store, here.

French Pattern Tiles, Tuscany Bistro Wall Mirror

Talk about color, texture and….viva la difference, a mirror that’s obviously unusual. This scrumptious tile Tuscany Bistro wall mirror—fourteen handmade ceramic or glass art tiles hand-adhered to a black scrolled metal frame– offers a plethora of possibilities to those who love pushing the boundaries of the imagination. Whether the tiles are glass or ceramic, mural style or individual tile style, there is simply no limit to the stunning colors, textures, designs and style you can bring to this piece of functional art, making it truly your own.

This particular arrangement, called “Delphine”, is comprised of art from our pattern gallery. Of course, you are not limited in the images you choose, as you can choose any image from Color Bakery to design your mirror–or even upload your own art or photography. This mirror has been retailed for up to $500.00, so you will be very pleasantly surprised by the price: $199.90 for a mirror using Color Bakery art. A wonderful price for what is a one-of-a-kind art mirror which literally stops people in their tracks.

Some symmetry with the tiles works better than fourteen totally different images. Of course we are available if you need some help designing your mirror. Click the photo to purchase or to learn more, or click here.

Brand new patterns available for custom printing on all our products.

Lately, I sleep in four hour increments, and I find myself working all throughout the night. I watch the muted Vermont winter moonlight outside the window to my right suddenly turning to a smoky gray dawn mere minutes, no–hours, later, after a design marathon. When I get the urge to create I will never ignore it, because my muse is a capricious tease. She can leave me in an instant, before I even know she’s gone. And staring at my computer screen waiting to get into what I call “the Zone” is like running a car without even a thimble of gas. It’s not gonna happen.

The past week has been a prolific one. I have been mostly working with a European, country French/shabby chic type of pattern pallette, taupes and muted teals using antique woodcut ornaments as my design nuclei.

I am happy with them; I see them looking just as lovely as a kitchen backsplash as they would work on a tote bag or piece of custom imaged porcelain jewelry. Many of them are coordinated, so they would work as individual tiles on serving trays or frames, too. Not to mention tile coasters, clocks and more. I hope you like them. All artwork is available for custom printing on all products. Click any image to be taken to the Pattern Gallery. Or click HERE for our store. To order any image on a product, just type the image name into the Color Bakery art field as you load your cart.

“Remember Paris,” New Pattern for tiles and more

The design that I had originally meant to make was centered around sunflowers, and I had planned it on being bold with primary colors. I got off track somehow, but I am not unhappy about it! I don’t know how I ended up with a vintage Parisian piece, I just kind of drifted while I was designing and the colors kept getting more muted and I kept on giving it more and more of an “inky”, aged look. I am happy with how it came out; what do you think? As with all Color Bakery art, it is available for printing on all our products. This design would work well as anything, really; as decorative accent tiles, in frames, as coasters, etc. I think this piece was meant for tumbled stone, personally. To order this image on any product, type “Remember Paris” in the “Color Bakery image” field. See all our patterns here. See our online store, here.
