National Flagstime
America’s national banner meets America’s national pastime – a match made in heaven, or maybe Wrigley Field. Flickr user Dori Michel (Once-Upon-A-Dream) brings us this “hit” work of flag art comprising 260 red, white and blue tinted baseballs – none of them foul, by the way.

This “patriotic custom art piece” from Cergamic Custom Handmade Art Tiles measures 20″ by 29″ and is formed from a multitude of grouted 1″-square ceramic tiles.
