Surfboard Mosaic Project

Posted by Amanda Edwards on Friday, September 30, 2011,

Slowly, the surfboard project is coming together! I now have all the creatures for the board, from Etsy PieceMaker mosaic artists all over the country (and one from Switzerland as well!).
They're all in place, and the background started to appear today.

Grouting is underway on my Barbara Bush Children's Hospital Mural as well! Photos to come over the next few days!

I finished up my tree house mosaic yesterday... 6 grout colors later. Yes... there are 6 grout colors on that piece. I was commissioned by Latitude Gallery (Newbury Street, Boston) to do this piece. It's going to be installed in the general medicine department of the Boston Children's Hospital. This lucky one will be put behind a glass panel.

Surfboard Mosaic & Children's Hospital Mural

About Me

Amanda Edwards

Cape Elizabeth, Me

I'm a stained glass & mixed media mosaic artist living on a beautiful beach in Southern Maine, with my husband & two children. Simply put, I love glass. I love the textures, variety of colors, shapes, sizes, reflections, even the sound it makes when I’m scoring and cutting it. Glass allows me to take a thousand little pieces of color and turn them into a flowing representation of my very active imagination.
