Ampersand Claybord Art Tiles, 1/8th inch Flat Profile, 2x2 inch, Pack of 8 (CBS022)

I love these things, I use them for several purposes. Sometimes I create something on this then adhere it to a larger clayboard for dimension. Sometimes I use the clayboard pieces for a mosaic, sometimes I like to try a single technique on one of these little guys, then I post them on my wall in a reference area so I can look at individual techniques I practiced and want to keep as inspiration or reference. These tiles I write info on the back and just stick them to the wall with picture hanging "velcro" stuff so I can easily pull it down and take it over to my project for reference or to compare, see if that technique really looks good or if I was way off base. I like that I can sort of texture the board with gouges, scratches etc then gesso. Hanging that extra layer to play with is nice. I love ampersands boards. I've always found them to have good quality and fits the needs of my random techniques, I like playing with encaustics, cold wax, paper clay, all the paints etc. These boards stand up to abuse!

These are really small and I think they are much smaller than I thought and are very very overpriced at 10.00! In future I will probably purchase a larger sheet and cut to shape myself.
