**★★★★★ — Cravotta Interiors, June 2013**

> We hired Natalie Blake and her team for a very important project.  Not only did they complete a very exacting custom order beautifully, they were a joy to work with. This project required the best and that's what we got with Natalie Blake Studios. I hope to post pictures of the completed project sometime in the near future.

**★★★★★ — HWD FELT, LLP, March 2013**

> Natalie Blake makes absolutely gorgeous works of art.  Hello Natalie!
> Rebecca Welsh (feltmaker Dublin, NH)  Top quality tiles that are unique to Natalie's creations

**★★★★★ — Willman Interiors / Gina Willman, ASID, March 2012**

> Natalie, and her team were so awesome to work with. She created multiple tile art and room name plaques for our client's large family compound.  They came up with great designs to personalize each room. We had a very tight deadline during the festive season that they went out of their way to meet and exceed.  I am in awe of their process and how detailed yet fluid each tile is.  I can't wait to use them again on another project

> Natalie did an exceptional job in creating a custom interpretation "ribbon of microscopic particles" with her tiles for our corporate cafe.  It was a delight working with her and we would highly recommend her.

**★★★★★ — cjrt, March 2012**

> With a written description, and a few emails, Natalie was able to create the perfect piece of tile art for our new home within our budget.  She was able to capture the essence of the location, the Missouri Ozarks, with the river, hills, moon and a bat.  Thanks Natalie, it was a pleasure to work with you.

The carved and brightly colored, curvy shapes conjured the feeling of ripe fruits and affluent jewels.
