I was lying in the bath the other week when I noticed that while there were a regular number of blue and yellow tiles dotted in amongst the white in the bathroom, there was only one orange one....next thing you know we have this piece of mail art. I couldn't believe how much orange pencil this took to colour, had to sharpen it a lot and it's about half its original size now!

The only orange tile in the bathroom 26 July 2011 (#153)

Hey, that's a lot of pencil - how big is this "tile" anyway?
I had to laugh reading that you were staring at the tiles while bathing, and thus thinking of mail art.....it never, ever leaves one's mind, does it?!?!
And, this is lovely - I like that hand-colored look, so neat in a square, against the white.

The "tile" you see is actual size(15cm x 15cm) and the reason I know that is because I did actually measure it....!
I know, everywhere I look now I have this "what sort of mailart can I make out of that" going around in my mind which is great except when concentration is required like at work.
Rather enjoyed keeping it minimal and only having to colour in the one square although the orange pencil is not in a good way!
