Surfboard and Orders
Posted by Amanda Edwards on Tuesday, October 25, 2011
It's been busy in the studio the last few months, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. I'm going to try to finish putting the glass on the surfboard over the next few days, and get it grouted within a week. Then, it's on to 3 commissioned orders that are coming in. The mural for the Barbara Bush Children's Hospital is being picked up tomorrow at 11! As soon as it's installed, I'll be running over to check it out & will post lots of photos.
So, now for a little update on the surfboard, which is a collaboration with the Etsy PieceMaker group. About a month ago, I 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. The PieceMakers have all sent me mosaic creatures to go on to the board... and I've been busy creating a background for the piece & attaching all the sea-life. It's been a fun project, and I can't wait to see it finished!
