Here is an example of one mosaic that was created by two artists partners in 2024; Cathleen Newsham started the mosaic on the left, then mailed the 1/2 finished piece to Carrie Fradkin, who completed the mosaic as seen on the right.  (They discussed the project before starting and decided that they would mail a small amount of tiles with the 1/2 completed works so the 2nd artist could blend the tessare into the 2nd half.)
Cathleen and Carrie also decided before they started that both pieces should be the same size, so each ordered EZ Frames from Wit's End Mosaics at this link: https://witsendmosaic.com/mosa...
