While awaiting for some mosaic supplies to arrive I am working on the design of the mosaic art for the mailbox. Nice and pleasing mosaic art blends art glass shapes. This design has very appealing combination of mosaic glass cut squares in the background, rectangles for the border and custom cut glass shapes to form the design that is unique, eye pleasing and easy to identify the focal elements of the mosaic art. We are going to custom cut stained glass art to achieve a similar effect of the custom mosaic.

Update: 3-14-2008 Turquise ocean waters is a first theme for the mosaic design. We are based in the Florida Keys and all those incredible photos of Bahamas you see in your travel brochures apply perfectly to our corner of the paradise here. This mosaic design captures the enchanting beauty of our oceans. Florida Keys has two distinctly beautifull oceans: the Atlantic and the Gulf. The striking colors of aqua greens, contrasted by white coral sands and dark green sea grass, spiked by vivid colors of abundant tropical fish sea life. This first mosaic mailbox design will capture our tropical beauty, serene beaches and the caribbean atmosphere in the Keys. We will blend the art of nature into the custom mosaic design to create a unique mailbox for you.

March 18, 2007 Update: Each custom mailbox will be unique as they are hand made from individual pieces of hand cut mosaic, art glass, mosaic ceramic elements, sea glass and other treasures found in the Florida Keys beaches.

March 21, 2008 Update: The initial mosaic mailbox will be offered without additional personalizing but ultimately we plan to offer incorporating an option to design your house number into the mosaic mailbox design. These will be custom made after order is placed so the delivery time will be about 2 weeks for production as we will make the mosaic mailbox especially for you and your house number will become part of the mailbox design.

Update 3/26/2008: The main focal tropical fish for the mosaic mailbox will be custom cut from stained glass ordered to complement our tropical color scheme design. Here are some concept design pictures for your enjoyment.

Update: 4-16-2008 The final batch of the stained glass supplies arrived and we will be posting some photos of the actual design elements from the design studio… so stay tuned.

Update 4-21-2008 We have just completed the design and you can check out the layout of the tiles in the photo right here.

The design consists of Moorish Idol tropical fish casually swimming over the reef in turquise ocean blues of tropical waters. We have mixed several media ( stained art glass, ceramic tiles and sea glass) to achive a more dimmensional look and feel.

This is work in progress layout on the white paper so it is not dimmensional or a final design yet and of course this is not glued and grouted… but it will give you an idea of the design direction on this custom tropical mailbox.

Update 5-6-2008 Here are some pictures of the mailbox with all tiles attached. The tiles are not grouted yet… so this is good work in progress photo set.

Update: 6-10-2008 Here are pictures of the finished mailbox we took about month ago. These were sold locally and we have pending orders for more. Since each mailbox we make is little different as all the elements are hand made and hand cut, I will post more pictures of additional mailboxes based on this first design later. Meantime, here are pictures of finished mailbox.
