Your tiles look great. I have made two so far with a couple of tiles that I had and both of them turned out really well. What vinyl and what transfer paper do you use? I am using Oracal 631 and I am having a hard time with vinyl sticking to the tile when I am transferring it. I use clear contact paper and I am wondering if I should be using something else.

Todd, I am not the one you asked, but if you use clear contact paper as transfer paper..make sure to "de sticky" it a little before picking up your design. Stick it on your pants, the couch or anything a few times before using. This makes it let go better when you transfer the design.
I use it for smaller things, but have since gone to the regular medium tack clear transfer tape. MUCH better in my opinion, and you can use it several times before you discard it.
As far as the vinyl, I use Oracle on all mine.
Sorry, didn't mean to hijack this post...

You didn't highhack rolo- no worries...I use contact paper and too have some trouble so I am going to try your transfer paper. Rolo- where do you purchase? I think it is very important to have the tile very clean with glass cleaner and dry. I read the other day someone said to turn over the contact paper and use a credit card to brandish the vinyl on and then do the same thing when you get it on the tile. Talenhart- I would love to see some you have finished...

Sam,
I didn't take pictures of the two that I made and I have already given them away as gifts. Nothing really fancy like yours, but they did look really nice.
