When I saw the tiles, I thought: Needlepoint Design. In a coffee & gift shop, I found some note cards with pictures of tiles on them. So I bought a bunch of them with the idea of doing a needlepoint design. I have made some progress. I have all of the tiles charted, but only one has been thoroughly "adapted". I have a lot of work left to do to make these "mine". I have found some websites about the tiles, so I will be attempting to stay true to the original designs while changing them so they are not "copies". This is what I have so far:

These are going to be wonderful. So much detail for you to play with. I can't wait to see how you adapt them to needlepoint.
Gorgeous. These are beautiful in any medium even moreso stitched!
Liz, last fall we visited Catalina and I was amazed to hear what collector's items the original tiles are. What a great idea you have!
I have a number of these adapted to needlepoint in my line from about five years ago - but don't produce them any more. They are indeed wonderful!!!
Talavera tiles are also great for np adaptation - you might also investigate that. I did really well with them in the past.
These tiles are sooo beautiful! Can't wait to see what you come up with in NP
