Basenji Ceramic dog tile basRELIEF Ceramic Pet Portrait Alexander In Stock

Description

A Sculpture and Painting all in one created by artist Sondra Alexander! IN STOCK ready to ship!
Side view is not the tile for sale...just for reference.
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 5.00!  Please allow 4-6 weeks before delivery!
Order your own markings on this tile for only 0.00 (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 In StockAlexander
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 on my website: alexanderart.net
In Stockretains 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! In StockAlexander
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"? In Stockyour 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 In Stockthe 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 In Stockwhen 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 In Stockto 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."

"Receiving our tiles from In Stockwas 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 In Stockdo 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 In Stockwas 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.
I am trying to raise money for my mom to get Stem Cell treatments for her knees for Christmas! She has been hobbling around it seems like forever and now she is going to be confined to a wheelchair if something is not done. She has been in the hospital a couple of times these past two months for her heart and this last weekend for a Baker's Cyst on her knee that needed to be drained. Dad just paid for a chair lift (money out of their pocket that the insurance won't pay for). She is not a candidate for Knee replacement because of her heart. My tiles are called "Relief" tiles and I have used them as fundraising items for homeless animals. Now I would like to use them for my mother to give her "Relief" and to be able to walk again. Please share this listing with everyone you know! I'm hoping and praying I will sell enough tiles to give my mom the best Christmas present ever...her mobility again! Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!
