You should give “magic erasers” a try (they’re all the same so don’t think you need to buy Mr. Clean brand lol) Just get it a little wet and very, VERY, lightly rub the piece. Takes a little while if you have a lot of excess ink on the tile to clean off, but, it does a good job of not taking too much detail away

Using a little pressure on the melamine foam (magic eraser) can create a water color effect. It kinda fades out the bright colors, but be warned it may also drag one color into another. Although, you may want that sometimes.

ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh! Trying this for sure!
This is why I got started on the GF in the first place. I saw what they could do with just tile.
Edit: Water, Magic eraser, sharpie (let totally dry first) and a bit of patience.

Was meant as a barbie sized table, for a Tea room diorama. Not all ideas pan out.
But the nieces loved it.

Have you considered using LaserTile - a specialty tile that engraves black/gray and requires no other application of color. I think your art would be awesome on it.

I still have a good supply of it. It’s more expensive, communication is almost nil, and shipping is extraordinarily slow, but it’s worth the wait. If you do a search here on the forum, you will find some posts I made showing my own LaserTile projects as well as posts by others, as well. I love the stuff.

Yeah, I’ve seen a lot of people use Laser Tile. They DO look great, but, for the cost of them and having to wait so long to get shipping information, I think I will stick to my cheap ceramic tiles lol

I’m curious if since this post you’ve had experience with sealants and how they’ve held up? I’d like to do a new post about it but am searching through any relevant previous ones first to see what I can find or what wisdom people can share. After having a good degree of fading on tiles that I coloured with sharpie and sealed were outside, I’m about to start a trial with a number of different types of sealants.

I haven’t actually sealed any of mine. I have wondered the same thing honestly… I will probably try some clear spray lacquer. I DID try Mod Podge once, but it was very streaky

Nice idea. I’d like to try this. Thanks for the idea!
Recently made a set of coasters, hubby painted them. I love how yours turned out! Might have to break out the tile.
