spanish tiles
The whole book has nothing but photographs of
tile designs, and that was what I was looking
for. Our multi-disabled children are studying
Spain and we used ideas from that book to
paint tiles. Thank you very much.
Spanish Tile Book
This book gives a wide variety of authentic Spanish tile designs – with no writing. The pictures are printed on only one side, quality, hi gloss paper, and is truly a beautiful book – far exceeded my expectations. I purchased it as reference because I was designing a Spanish tile design quilt. Very helpful.
