The Tree of Life actually dates back to the Garden of Eden. It's the tree that stood in the center of  "The Garden of the Lord." It was the source of eternal life and blessings. In Ezekiel 47:12, it mentions that "the trees whose ‘fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing’."

In other cultures, it  represents the evolutionary divergence of all living creatures. I like to think of it as God's loving arms reaching unto His children. No matter how you look at it, the Tree of Life is a beautiful way to express that everything on earth is reliant upon each other and we should embrace it.

This Tree of Life ceramic tile mosaic shows a spreading White Oak tree. I used two different clay bases with the same ceramic tile glaze for the leaf tiles to achieve darks and lights. The ceramic tile tree has a bit of carving to convey the concept of bark. Around the tree tiles are small to medium round blue tiles in turquoise tones to express the sky. Beneath the tiled oak tree are some rock tiles and some round green tiles to signify the earth and create an anchor for the design.

This close up helps show some of the detail in the tree ceramic tile, leaf tiles, and rock tile. The ceramic tile glazes used on the ceramic tile leaves is called Candy Corn. It looks like two different colors, but is actually the same color. The clay base is the difference. One is off-white, and the other a tan. The transparent nature of this ceramic tile glaze allows the clay base to show through. this glaze has been discontinued by the manufacturer, but I stock piled it for years to come and for you to enjoy.

A special thanks to Jeannine Rouleau for all of the great pictures of her tree of life bathroom and kitchen birds in leaves mosaic designs. You can also visit the Birds link for closeup pictures of the leaves and birds.
