Katrina Memorial Cube Sculpture

Step 6 Make the mosaic top and bottom for the cube

Now that you have completed the long strip that will make up the sides of the cube, it is time to make the mosaic top and bottom for the cube. You can of course create the top and bottom similar to the other sides. I choose to be more creative and do a somewhat patterned mosaic for the top and bottom. I used the sleeves of the t-shirts to cut out pieces for my mosaic, plus other remnants from the t-shirts. I didn't not cut a pattern for this step, but instead choose a more free style approach. You can follow your own creativity. In the end you will need a top that is 18" with the same 5/8" border on all 4 sides. And then the same size for the bottom.

As you can see from this photo of the top, I used the blue to form a stripe down the middle horizontally and vertically and then used brown and the off-white shirts to form a general pattern for my mosaic.
