Love this amazing addition to the Surfboard Project! The addition of millefiori to the seaweed adds something wonderful. Fish & seaweed created by Callas Mosaics.

More Surfboard Mosaic Creatures have Arrived!

Going to the post office has gotten very exciting. More pieces for the Surfboard Mosaic Bench project have come in! Please go here for more information on this very cool collaboration mosaic. Here are the creatures that arrived today!






Surf Board Bench

The PieceMakers are collaborating on their first public mosaic piece! I (Amanda Edwards) was contacted by a non-profit group that's gathering old surf boards & giving them to artists to decorate. They're then turning them into public benches that will be auctioned off to businesses in Portsmouth NH. The money they raise will go toward keeping the New Hampshire coastline clean.

I received the surfboard about a week ago. Here it is, in all it's used glory!


The theme for the surfboard mosaic will be "In the Ocean"... although we haven't decided on a title for the finished piece yet. In all, 14 PieceMaker members will be sending me sea creatures to add to the board. I'll be creating a background & get the ultra fun job of designing the layout with all the cool creatures coming my way! As I get them, I'll post pictures of them on here.

I received the first amazing batch today, from Tina of Tina's Mosaics!

The PieceMakers are working on a collaboration mosaic right now as well! Surfscapes, a non-profit organization in Portsmouth NH helping to keep the New Hampshire coastline clean, has asked us to create a mosaic surfboard for them. The board has seen it's days on the ocean, and the team is recycling it & turning it into a beautiful bench. The PieceMaker surfboard bench will be auctioned off, along with other artist's benches, to local Portsmouth businesses, and then installed in an outdoor public place. More to come as this project unfolds!
