Inspired by nature's organic patterns and textures, Sara Baldwin - New Ravenna Mosaic's founder and Creative Director creates custom works of art in mosaic tile. Her continued exploration in textiles led to the handcrafted Houndstooth collection. Either in stone or jewel colored glass, the mosaic is assembled in a distinctive V-shaped weaving pattern usually found in twill fabric. Love it! The collection consists of four colorways, including a classic black and white, a luxurious gold and red, an iridescent purple and pink, and a pastel combination of aquamarine and white. One of these tiles could be an accessory to my wardrobe...a girl can dream!
I am happy to share an interview with Sara Baldwin today where you can see more of the New Ravenna collections...

LESSONS LEARNED ON THE HOUNDSTOOTH COLLECTIONDuplicating weaving patterns is more challenging than it seems. It took about eight tries to figure out the perfect pattern duplication. I should have paid more attention in math class.
