Hi everyone !

Famous in the world, the portuguese tiles, also named "azulejos", are one of the symbols of the Iberian peninsula. They can be seen mainly in Portugal and Spain and in their former colonies. Fixed on the walls of the houses or palaces, they are a decorative ornament.

In order to pay tribute to this art, I deciced to design six tiles reproducing the curves and the flowers like we can see usually on portuguese tiles. Each tile are linked with a tile joint.

Four colors (Bricklink colors) are used in order to respect the caracteristic colors of the portuguese tiles:
- White, exclusivelly for the background.
- Bright light blue.
- Blue.
- Dark blue.

Moreover, the mosaic can be fixed on a wall with a Technic pin connector block on the back.

Each tile measures 12x12 studs and the whole mosaic measures 40x27 studs.
The model contains 1027 parts.

I hope you enjoy this project and thanks for sharing it and for supporting me!
