Artist Sondra Alexander designs, sculpts and paints each one by hand... A Sculpture and Painting all in one! IN STOCK ready to ship! This piece is 8"x8".
Note* Side view is not this tile or color. Back of tile just shows the metal hook...not this tile.
This is a bas-relief tile (tile is not flat). It's a 3-D ceramic portrait, so the nose of the dog sticks out to 3/4" and the edge is 3/16" deep.
If you want
your own animal?...Ask Sondra Alexander about doing a custom (sculpting & painting)
of your animal for only $235.00! Please allow 4-6 weeks before
delivery!
Order your own markings on this tile for only $110.00 (send a picture of your
animal)! Add a name for no extra charge *Each tile is individually hand
painted. Small variations may occur. Please allow three weeks before delivery!
The name of the animal can be added at no extra charge!
This is not your ordinary tile. It is finely carved out of clay to show off the
hair texture and finest detail. Then the glaze is applied by hand that brings
the dog to life! And it's all done by Sondra Alexander
You will receive a 6" x 6" (square part) handmade ceramic tile.
They are all hand signed by the artist on the back of the tile. A metal hook is
fired into the back of the tile which makes it easy to hang on a picture hook
or they can also be placed on a plate stand. Tiles are also perfect for that
special back splash in your (Dog) bath or kitchen. (Please order tile WITHOUT
hook if it is going to be installed on a wall.) Also, if it will be in a wet
area, I will need to do a high fire tile and it will cost a little
more. There are pictures of Dog baths/showers: alexanderart . net
Sondra retains copyright and possession of all molds she makes. These tiles are
a perfect gift idea or a memorial!
Thank you for looking! Please enjoy some comments from my happy
customers! Have a great day! Sondra Alexander
Here are a few words from her collectors!
OMG !!! Tank is here and he's absolutely unbelievable. My husband and I just
opened the box and we just looked at each other. It is Tank !! I expect that
head to bark !! It is so amazing and it looks exactly like him. I mean exactly.
I just can't tell you how pleased I am. I'm going to have a hard time waiting
till Christmas to give it to them. I am just floored! You are so talented and I
am so glad I ran across you in ebay. Now Woodrow. I can hardly wait.
Thank you so so much, Awesome...

THANK YOU! The Mitsu Tile I ordered arrived yesterday afternoon.
However, I had warned my husband within an inch of his life not to go out the
front door when he arrived home before me.
You were able to capture Mitsu's grainy-looking nose, the extra fur under her
chin, her black & white coat, one drooping eye (just slightly), and, of
course, her beautiful brown eyes. I cried for a good 15 minutes after I opened
the package today in private. The tile is simply perfect, and I know that my
husband will love it, too.
Thanks again for creating such a wonderfully special Christmas gift from me to
my husband; we both loved Mitsu so much. You do great work! I'll brag you up
whenever I can. -Janet Bahl
I am absolutely speechless as to your talent and the truly superb job that you
did on the two tiles. Both tiles capture both my "babies" with all
their character, facial expression, and coloring! If you ever need any
recommendations for your magnificent work, I am your person! - Regards and
woof, Steve Mosteiro
My Tweet from actress Kristin Chenoweth after taking her a tile backstage of
"Promises, Promises" of her lovely dog Maddie ~ KChenoweth:
Alexarttile "I LOVED it. Its in my dressing room! U made my year with
that!"
Sondra, Wow, that was about 2 weeks sooner than expected. We’re in the dog
rescue “business” so you can count on referrals from Melaney and I. You are
skilled, ambitious, offer a great product, and have excellent customer service
skills (you actually communicate!). I think that’s most of what is needed for
success. We’ll pass the word and try to help you get to “the next level”.
Happy Holidays to you, too.
Cheers!

Just when I think "can she get any better"? Sondra your gift just
blows me away - What a blessing to bring joy into the lives of others - and
your "work" certainly does that!! ~ Lisa Reid
"Oh Sondra the Schipperke tile you made was soooo good...the lady we sent
it too absolutely LOVED it! It was dead on baby, great job!"

"I first became aware of Sondra when a friend gave me a brochure on
Alexander Art. I started taking 'face' pictures of my Golden Retriever 'Shamus'
in June, 2009 and ordered his 'tile' on August 19, 2009 (Shamus' 9th birthday).
Shamus went to doggie heaven on October 8, 2009. I called Sondra to let her
know about Shamus and we were both crying on the phone. Besides her creative
side she is a very compassionate person. She sent me a note card with Shamus'
tile picture on it and I plan on ordering quite a few boxes. I wish all the
encounters I have had were as enjoyable as working with such a wonderful person
as Sondra. As I told her in an email I truly hope our paths cross
someday." Jim Horan & Diane 'Sam' Sampson, Avon, CO
"Receiving our tiles from Sondra was just exactly like Christmas morning!
As we unwrapped them, we got more and more excited. We bought 10 tiles. They
are so much more wonderful than I imagined they would be. The photos on
Sondra's website DO NOT do them justice. In person they are more 3-D and the
dogs actually come alive! I have only one regret.... I should have had Sondra
do more original tiles of my dogs. I only had her do three and they are my
favorites of all. The one she did of my little Brittany Quinny captures her
expression perfectly. Looks just like she does when she's about to do something
naughty... That's our Quinny! We love our tiles. Working with Sondra was a very
pleasant experience from start to finish. She is VERY talented! Our dog shower
is SO special. Everyone who sees it, comments on how great it is. We feel
really fortunate to have such a fun place to bathe our doggies.
