We are now mosaicing a fabulous major community project of a full size fibreglass 3D baby elephant!
This elephant will form part of the London Elephant Parade next year. It will be part of a herd of over 200 elephants that will be exhibited at different outside locations from March to June next year. The elephant will be mosaiced in aid of The Elephant Family – a charity set up to promote the awareness of the decline in numbers of Asian elephants. We have name the elephant “KUBO – the seaside elephant” and the colours we will be using were inspired by the waves of the sea starting with foam from lapping waves with small mirror tiles to the very darkest blues representing the depths of the darkest oceans. We are expecting the elephant to be delivered from London in an ECO van very shortly and it will be temporarily housed at KUBE Gallery where it will get its multi-coloured mosaic coat. This is a very exciting community project – maybe we should have a competition to guess the exact number to the nearest thousand of mosaic tiles used. I hastily add I don’t want to be the ones to count this!
