Could really use the help of all of you guys with a project I am doing, I am a senior in high school and am currently taking a visual arts class, I'm looking for pottery shards, broken points, flakes pretty much anything native American to help me make a mosaic for the Cincinnati museum center. My teacher set this up for me but I do not have enough material to make what I was planning. I was going to make a mosaic of America. Anything helps, thanks very much, I'll put a portrait i made for a special needs school to prove I actual am decent at art thanks a lot guys! And after I get it back we will do a drawing to see who gets it out of everyone who contributes

Awesome! that looks great! I didn't see that before but that's amazing! What material are you using to put the flakes and stuff on and how are you mounting it? And I will t witko thanks a lot
 

Man material is from about 2 different states! A lot of people showed a lot of support! Never could have done it without these guys up here..mold is concrete and I attached the items with a type of fast setting glue stuff. After I'm done attaching ill add grout in the cracks

Ya I have a deadline because of school that's why I'm trying to get material fast, I was going to use only stuff I found but I just can't find it fast enough
 

Here's a little update, just broke my arm in a grappling tournament and had surgery this morning so I'll be in bed for a couple of days, should give me time to work on the project though! Everything will be mounted on a piece of cherry wood that Iv carved and polished myself from a tree we had cut down. I'm half way through carving it! Thanks for reading.
