Gopher Tortoise Shell Design Tile

The original, abstract design on this small Ceramic Tile was made from an original photograph by HomeWare of a gopher tortoise. The design is a closeup view of the tortoise shell. The linear pattern of the shell has been accented, shown by the sketchy black lines over almost metallic looking colors of silver gray and gold. The overlapping parts of the shell, over the black shadow, make it look like the armor, which it is for the tortoise. These contemporary colors, earth tones, create a modern design from nature, chic, naturally.
