![]() There is so much to love about the tile house, Pann herself has a hard time identifying a favorite part. "Putting the tile up there doesn't take long," said Duran. Pann paints the tiles and glazes them in preparation for Duran to place the tiles. When working on a project, Pann and Duran make their own tile out of raw clay as an inexpensive alternative to buying tiles. Pann said, "It's always easy for us to come to an agreement because I just think whatever he does is fantastic." Once Duran has a new idea, he talks about it with Pann who is quick to approve. The duo claims it's easy to collaborate together on each of their projects. The new wall already features a 3-D caterpillar, rabbit hole, Queen of Hearts, and White Rabbit. Pann gives Duran credit for coming up with the ideas for their tile projects, including their newest addition, and Alice in Wonderland themed wall facing the side of the house. "In the beginning, we did the path to the house as the yellow brick road, and from there, it just took off," said Duran. Nearly the entire property is now covered in beautiful tile mosaics featuring a variety of themes and hidden objects. LOS ANGELES - Artists Cheri Pann and Gonzalo Duran started turning their house into a mosaic of tiles in 1994 to liven up the exterior, and they haven't stopped adding tile since.
