Search for āglass settingsā, or āengraving glassāā¦ there are tons of posts.
Thank you very much
The first projects I did on my new GF were on tiles, because Iām so blown away by what Iāve seen so far. These were copyright free jpegs. The grey one is unglazed ceramic and the white one is glazed (the crackle effect was already there.) I used black sharpie on both of them, then on the white one I rubbed on some green/gold acrylic paint. Next I went to Home Depot and bought a whole bunch of different size tiles. Iām hooked.

Oh, I like that crackle effect! Neat! 
Where do you get the laser tile? I tried to find it online and keep getting rerouted to other sites.

These are a few examples of me playing with some broken Laser Tile bits - I donāt think I remembered to post these on the forum:
You get incredibly sharp clear blacks with the Laser Tile glazeā¦the rest you can color in with Sharpies.

The signature hedgehogs came out FANTASTIC!!
They look like they could jump off the tile.

Thanks, they were just an experiment, trying to decide whether to color them or not, (the back one is actually hedgehog colored) ,or leave in the shadow or take it out.
That Laser Tile is really somethingā¦pair it up with a GF and no skill required.

So Iāve been testing different coloring techniques to see which works best for me. The top 4 tiles are acrylic paint (3-4 coats) then baked per the paint instructions. Supposed to be top shelf dishwasher safe. Bottom left is spray paint and bottom right is sharpie. Winner for ease of cleanup is the spray paint. All were masked (except the sharpie tile) and then cleaned up with a razor for clean edges.
