Title
Decorative Ceiling Tiles
Description
All tiles are painted, most likely with acrylic craft paint (based on the quality of the color saturation and texture of the brush strokes)
After preliminary research, the average dimensions of standard grid ceiling tiles are 24”x 48”
7 different designs all around a centered word, described as follows:
Friendship: Rainbow lettering, white, unpainted outline around the word, with multi-colored swirl pattern around the edges.
Harmony: Teal blue background; yellow stars with black edges surrounding the central word; Harmony painted in bright orange with black edges.
Diversity: Neon pink background; Multi-colored circles with black edges surrounding the central word; Diversity painted in alternating white and yellow letters with black edges.
Peace: Yellow background; black peace signs with pink and purple backdrops, surrounding the central word; Peace painted in alternating pink and purple with black edges.
Kindness: Oblique blue and green stripe background, with black lines separating the two other colors; Kindness spelled in red block lettering, also with black edges.
Love: Light pink background; Dark pink, red, and orange hearts with black edges surrounding the central word; Love painted in orange and red (red L; orange O V; red E) with thinner black edges; lettering in a more curled, whimsical font, with heart inside the “O”.
Inclusion: Unpainted background, instead rainbow pattern of children’s handprints surrounding rainbow block letters with black edges in the center.
