My friend Jim is interested in some red fruit and vegetable framed art tiles for his kitchen.  I resized the existing bell pepper, strawberry, and hot chili pepper images and added new tomato, radish, and cherry images.  Hopefully he will find a few that work.

A colleague of mine was interested in some of my blue botanical images on tile and I realized I only have a couple designs in this range. I attempted to shift some of my newer and existing images in the purple range over to blue with Photoshop but that was a disaster. I ran around snapping pictures of blue hydrangea and other blue flowers and plants but haven't come up with anything too exciting.

At this point my goal was to find some Creative Commons licensed works off Flickr to fill the immediate need. I came up with a few I hope will work...



The first two in the group of four will probably work best to coordinate with this one which is my original work:
