This three-and-a-half by one-foot tile mural was installed in Marcus' old house's bathroom in Didcot, Great Britain. For this project, I used Porcelaine 150, a special ceramic paint that can be cured in a kitchen oven. We tested it when cooked, and the only thing we can find to take off the paint is steel wool!
