MINIATURE FLOOR TILES
I needed tons of patience to make a floor like this. 

I really wanted to achieve the texture and displacement of a real tile floor. That's why I made the tiles with Super Sculpey. Of course, there are much simpler and faster techniques to make these kind of tiles, like using glue and paper, but I wanted to make it look totally real.

I used clay machines and mini cutters to give them the shape. For the white ones, I baked them different time ranges to get these little color variations. 
I also used a Dremmel machine to polish a little bit the edges .
After that, I made different tests for the joints in order to achieve the desired look. The best solution I founded was using real silicone for the joints.
This is the final look. Thanks for watching.
