Cyra was a thrill to work with from the very first interchange of e-mails. She was able to grasp my concept and gave me tiles that were more beautiful than I had imagined. Every morning I relish in the glow of my bathroom. My friends tell me that they are two of the most beautiful rooms they have seen. When one of my buddies takes a shower, I cannot get him out!!!<br /> I am now working on a design for the next space where I can use her tiles. To have such beauty in my home just brings a smile to my face each time I look at it.<br /> Cyra, once again, thank you for all of your hard work and inspiration.<br /><br />Lamar Kerley, Bakersfield, CAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-35915776296235530352010-06-20T13:21:36.362-04:002010-06-20T13:21:36.362-04:00Delightful post about and equally delightful perso...Delightful post about and equally delightful person, Cyra, who is passionate about her art and doing what she loves.

Thank for your thoughtful comments! .....and...Pam,<br /><br />Thank for your thoughtful comments! .....and the Oregon love! CedarBerry Woods is about 35 mi. NE of Florence (10 mi N of Deadwood) amidst the Suislaw N. Forest. We love the moss & ferns & old growth. The peace & silence. Love the mention of Ken Keasey - we are near the Alpha Farm commune.<br /><br />Pratt & Larson have a great factory & showroom & tile. They were interested in our tile line but we prefer to remain independent and deal directly with our clients. We'd love to work with you on a tile project. Tubelining works well for Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts and Art Deco styles.Cyranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-18397333167942543822010-06-20T12:08:47.700-04:002010-06-20T12:08:47.700-04:00Wonderful work.

When I was a design student at UO (almost 20 years ago), we took a field trip to Pratt & Larson in Portland and I was amazed at the beautiful hand made tiles. We toured the factory and saw a little about the process. I am so impressed that you have created this amazing body of work and appreciate that you have (almost single-handedly) revived this process. Even more so, that it is in the Art Nouveau style that I love. My favorite design style is and always has been Arts & Crafts. Best of all, you are an Oregon country girl (like me). I grew up near Roseburg on a sheep ranch and made money painting and selling my work when I was younger. This lead to an education in design and a career that I love. I feel like I've found a kindred spirit! Good luck with the move to CedarBerry Woods. I am envious of your location. The Oregon central coast is so picturesque! I spent a Christmas holiday a couple of years ago with my daughter's family at Ken Keasey's family vacation home near Florence. Looking forward to seeing your website. Maybe someday I'll be able to commission some tile work.Pamhttp://www.pamdesigns.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-7096073519409800352010-06-20T11:04:36.615-04:002010-06-20T11:04:36.615-04:00Bob, thank for your wonderful comments about our t...Bob, thank for your wonderful comments about our tile.

On my recent trip to Paris there was an Arts and Crafts Exhibit at the Musee D'Orsay and my favorite new old building was an Arts and Crafts building. That style really speaks to the artist and seeing these tiles has made my day.Bob Borsonhttp://www.lifeofanarchitect.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-37559039288808476602010-06-20T10:39:21.147-04:002010-06-20T10:39:21.147-04:00Paul, thanks so much for your great post about DuQ...Paul, thanks so much for your great post about DuQuella Tile.
