Actually. ..what about a photo mosaic !?!?! Buy/make a square frame and line up your tiles and then press them..then when you 'mount' them give a small gap between each one?! Would make for a nice presentation that would look like it was more complicated than just a flat pressed item?!?!

Mosaics can be incredibly effective. I did one a while back, I think it was 16 tiles (larger square ones though) with a customers photo on it, they were delighted and it really did look nice. I have a couple of smaller tiles here but they come with a little easel to display as a mini picture, they were from Transfer Press.

No, I just got a couple as samples to see what I could do with them. As these are the wooden tiles not ceramic they have straight edges, you could therefore lay a load down together and sublimate right across them....I guess :-)

Hi, We sell magnetic backs for the 45mm tiles as they make lovely fridge magnets.

Thanks,
