Ceramic tile having a ceramic base layer and a cover glaze layer including a printed pattern, where the surface of the ceramic tile has a relief having structural features corresponding to the printed pattern. The relief being basically formed as a plurality of excavations present in the generally plane upper surface of the ceramic tile and the structural features have a depth such that they are completely situated above the ceramic base layer.

Methods and systems for making artificial flowers are disclosed. The method can include wrapping a first flower wrapper having between 1 and 5 petals around a foam core to form a first flower construct, or bud. The method can include wrapping a second flower wrapper having between 1 and 5 petals around the first flower construct, or bud. The method can include wrapping a third flower wrapper having between 1 and 5 petals around the second flower construct. The method can include wrapping additional layers of flower wrappers around flower constructs, including, but not limited to, 3 more layers of flower wrappers. Wrapping a flower wrapper around a core or a flower construct may be done manually or in an automated fashion. Wrapping a flower wrapper around a core or a flower construct may be done petal by petal or all petals simultaneously.

A mount includes a base having a first surface and a second surface defining a ledge and a mount object including a mounting portion. The mounting portion is complementary in shape to the second surface and the ledge. The mount may further include a bracket or support frame. The second surface, ledge and bracket/support frame define a cavity and the mounting portion is complementary in shape to the surfaces that define the cavity. The first surface of the base is adapted to resemble a profile view of a human or animal face and the mount object is a bird wing or bear paw. The mount may further include an accessory fixedly secured to the base.
