Location : Hong Kong
Client: SINO Group/Project Hong Kong Kroup Group.
Artist: Sandra Robertson
2011 - Sandra had just returned from attending a vendor booth at the SAMA conference in Austin Texas, USA and work had to start immediately. All systems go!
Sandra visited mosaic artists in USA in Texas, Austin, Colorado, and Utah and was excited to return to this urgent project.
Team OzMosaics - Sandra & David Robertson worked with Shirley Hinkley and Shirley Whitton, at OzMosaics Studio, who assisted with background detail, grouting, cutting the mesh mosaic into segments and sorting of materials, which was hugely appreciated.
Brief: Create mosaic decorative surfaces on Easter Eggs to be showcased in Hong Kong during Easter Promotion.
-Artist to design, propose light-weight substrate options, organise shipping of materials to site in Hong Kong, then fly to Hong Kong to complete the mosaics on site.
Artworks required:
-One MegaEgg over 1.6 metres to showcase mosaic Hong Kong Harbour City Views at night with recognisable buildings.

Easter Promotion for SINO Group and Hong Kong Art Foundation- Organiser -Cyril and his Hong Kong team/Kroup Foundation/SINO Group.
Originally, the project was in a local Hong Kong shopping complex, one egg and working with some school students. It was bumped up to the most amazing shopping centre and we had Richard and TT as our support crew - the work that went on behind the mosaic scenes was incredible -
A wonderful opening showcased the exhibition with media and journalists attending in huge numbers. The exhibition ran for 3 weeks and the eggs were sold to private collectors after showcasing in a gallery in Hong Kong.
Thank you so much Cyril and Sann for your kindess, generosity and friendship thoughout the project. Thank you SINO Group for this great opportunity to showcase an Australian Artist in China.
Much discussion took place over emails and Skype! Could we do it in the time frame?
We did - working 24-7 around the mosaic clock (Sandy is known as Mosaics 24-7!!).
Finally the egg designs were approved by the client and work started.
One giant feature egg, 5 medium eggs and 5 smaller eggs, featuring Australiana and traditional decorative Easter Eggs.
5 eggs featured Hong Kong tourist spots
5 x Small Eggs - 49cm tall - feature traditional Chicken, Rabbit plus 3 Australiana designs (kangaroo, koala and emu).
The opening was amazing with Media - press and tv stations all very excited about the mosaics and the promotion! A great success!
The making of the eggs, tips and tricks will be shared with OzMosaics Students and the upcoming mOz-Oz online school. Sandy is always upgrading her mosaic techniques and as usual, discovered some new tips and tricks during the making of the eggs both in Brisbane and Hong Kong!
Dave & Sandy had a fantastic time in Hong Kong working on the mosaic Eggstravaganza Exhibition.
We worked non-stop and completed 11 mosaic eggs, including the Mega Egg, which was transported from China- over 150 km away from our Hong Kong workspace. Team OzMosaics applied the mosaic mesh Hong Kong Skyline at night and harbour lights to the mega egg. 5 eggs featured Hong Kong Tourist attractions, 3 eggs featured Australian flora and fauna; 2 eggs featured the Easter Rabbit and Chicken. Sandy loved teaching for a day at a Hong Kong School - the kids loved making mosaics. Wonderful mosaic memories for everyone involved.Eggstravaganza, mosaic eggs in Hong Kong - photos on Facebook
Raw eggs!
A Panda mosaic (to represent Ocean Park) was applied to a 70cm egg base. Sandy visited a Hong Kong school to demonstrate mosaics and the students enjoyed making two mosaic artworks as a team effort. They used mosaic cutters and mosaic glass tile. Sandy is always improving her modern mosaic techniques, even on the job in Hong Kong - but always keeps opus/andamento traditional methods as the mosaic core.
Richard was appointed to cater to our every mosaic whim and he was amazing - a master of sourcing all things mosaic and he was keen to help cut, glue, grout, clean - thank you Richard and also TT.
We were treated to a delicious lunch on a beautifil Chinese floating restaurant - the food was healthy and delicious. I worked on the Golden Buddha and chair lift scenic view for one of the 70 cm eggs.
We visited a mosaic artist in Hong Kong and bought vitreous tile, stained glass, tools etc. So exciting - meeting interesting people every day and nigh added to the excitement. 5 x small 47 cm eggs from Brisbane arrived safe and sound at our huge work area in the complex. The display area for all the eggs are dispersed throughout the complex - with huge backdrops! Mosaics for other 70cm eggs include Bauhemia Square, a span of the famous bridge, clock tower etc.

The largest egg measured 1.6 metres in height.

Raw eggs!
A Panda mosaic (to represent Ocean Park) was applied to a 70cm egg base. Sandy visited a Hong Kong school to demonstrate mosaics and the students enjoyed making two mosaic artworks as a team effort. They used mosaic cutters and mosaic glass tile. Sandy is always improving her modern mosaic techniques, even on the job in Hong Kong - but always keeps opus/andamento traditional methods as the mosaic core.
Richard was appointed to cater to our every mosaic whim and he was amazing - a master of sourcing all things mosaic and he was keen to help cut, glue, grout, clean - thank you Richard and also TT.
We were treated to a delicious lunch on a beautifil Chinese floating restaurant - the food was healthy and delicious. I worked on the Golden Buddha and chair lift scenic view for one of the 70 cm eggs.
We visited a mosaic artist in Hong Kong and bought vitreous tile, stained glass, tools etc. So exciting - meeting interesting people every day and nigh added to the excitement. 5 x small 47 cm eggs from Brisbane arrived safe and sound at our huge work area in the complex. The display area for all the eggs are dispersed throughout the complex - with huge backdrops! Mosaics for other 70cm eggs include Bauhemia Square, a span of the famous bridge, clock tower etc.

The largest egg measured 1.6 metres in height.
