Ceramic Chinese Zodiac Tiles

I've always been fascinated by the beauty of Chinese characters and calligraphy. I've recently started experimenting with making ceramic tiles/coasters, and thought the Chinese Zodiac characters would make an excellent set to start off with! The particular glaze I've used gives them an almost bamboo-like color.

I've shown the first four designs here - you can see the rest (and purchase the tiles) on my website at http://eyejayinstruments.com/zodiac_tiles/zodiac_tiles.shtml.
