Tile Mosaics for Marshal Bridge

Thursday, 29th of 2011. 
Kevin Kichar and I are finally finishing the Performing Arts Mosaic.  We spent most of the day grouting and cleaning the mural. It is finished and ready to be installed on the bridge.

This is Diane grouting the mural.

Diane cleaning the mural. Not an easy task but the outcome is spectacular!

Here is a final picture of the Performing Arts Mural.  It will be professionally photographed next week. Till then, enjoy. Diane

Marshal Bridge tile art project

It's been awhile.
 Kevin and I have been working on the tile murals for the Marshal Bridge project.  We have finished all the tiles for the 4 murals. Yesterday (Wed. 9-28-11) we layed out the tiles for the Preforming Arts mural on the support board. Here is a picture of Kevin laying out a section of tile. Each section has a plastic covering to keep the tiles in place and to protect them.

the next picture is Kevin mudding in the tile sections.

We finished setting the tiles on Wed. now we wait till Thursday 9-29-11 to remove the plastic covering the sections of tiles.  Grouting comes next.

Marshal Street Bridge Project final design

It has finally been done.  The last design for the Marshal Street Bridge project has been approved. The design honors the Seminole Indians with images of their folk stories. It also shows a picture of our Florida everglades.

On Friday Sept. 2nd Kevin and I finished the sculpting of tiles for this mural.  Next week we glaze and fire them. All in all there will be around 4,000 tiles made for this project.  We are currently looking for a donated space to assemble these murals in the Ft. Lauderdale area. If anyone knows of a nice air conditioned space big enough for an 8' X 11' table workspace available for just a few months please contact us. Thanks.

Here I am finishing up the prep work on the slab to sculpt the final 4th mural.
