porcelain and paper



katie parker out of columbus, ohio is a ceramic artist who uses porcelain and cut paper to create three dimensional wallpaper and wall tiles. her porcelain tiles are a process of silkscreened china paint, enamel, and underglaze. using brighter colors and covering each ceramic piece with paper, her wallpaper pieces make the overall effect lighter, and the glaze that shows through creates a nice line.

i also like the idea she has shown on her blog of painting the porcelain top of a toilet which is fired multiple times (see images below wallpaper closeup).

more of her work can be seen and purchased at her etsy shop, porcelain and paper.

The toilet tank lid is so cool! I never would have thought of this. Also the colors and layers of pattern are very lovely (can't believe I'm calling part of a toilet "lovely")!
