Thank god Sarah is helping me on this beast.
First, I laid out the bird silhouettes and cloud tiles, then surrounded them with the hundreds of handmade circles. And I STILL don't have enough circles to finish! Now that it's raining, I'm home making more circles to finish the top. But we're more than half way done with the top at least...
Here are 3 more panels for the Degarmo Park bench/planter project. Three out of 24 panels that is. These are out of order, but they will wrap end to end around an oak tree planter that they have yet to build. I'm not looking forward to mosaicking in the snow.
Here are 3 of 24 panels ready to be installed in Chico's Degarmo Park. They are going to wrap around a circular bench seat/planter which has a baby oak tree growing in the center. The ones shown here are not in order, but once installed they will all run together as one. All of the wildlife, both flora and fauna, are handmade porcelain tile surrounded by broken commercial tile. The project is over one hundred square feet including the top of the bench seat which will be composed of hundreds of handmade sky blue circle tiles, clouds and bird silhouettes.
I was offered a nice shady place near the 'kids stage' so I heard a lot of hip hop and grunge while I got some work done on the Degarmo bench mosaic.
