I was looking for a nice design for a tile and noticed the Compass Rose design. it could be a very nice actual compass but this was the first test. It is the unchanged size from the leather design.

Looks cool with the crackled background.

It looks like it could be an old pocket watch face.

Very cool…I like the crackle in the glaze too.

The crackle is the result of heat shock. Blasting too small of a tile with too intricate a design at super-power. A mistake but one I can live with

Also the tiles in the bathroom were never set right and keep coming up so…

I did a heavy engrave and with the paper still on sprayed down with white and then green phosphorescent. There are several trilobites from previous loose tiles.
