Sadu Pixel Matrix | Visual Arts Installation

Core Product: CORE Glow Ethereal Blue Beads
Installation Method: String, artistic talent, and a lot of work!

What a unique, creative, and genius use of our CORE glow beads! This 3 dimensional display of sadu artwork was created for public display in 2018 in Kuwait. The artist was kind enough to share his photos and details on his work:

The installation uses 1.75 kilometers (wow!) of bead stringing wire which is divided unevenly amongst 905 threads. It incorporates 7854 glow-in-the-dark beads (considered 'pixels' for this purpose) and 8759 earring stoppers (that's a lot!) to hold the beads and stringing wires in place.

Beautiful work! You can follow the artist on instagram at @tabtabai

Trail of Glow | Full Core Treatment

Core Product: CORE Glow Commercial Grade Marble
Installation Method: Light coverage top-dressing of resin-bonded permeable gravel pathway

This volunteer group located in Longview, Alberta, worked tirelessly to create a beautiful CORE gravel pathway using our gravel stabilizing panels, with stabilizing resin. But, that wasn't enough. Yes, we want to bike, walk and otherwise use our new trail system, but we want more! So, we gave it to them.
These projects that have glow sparkling in the pathways are our absolute favourite - this is our vision! Gorgeous public spaces that are eco-friendly and inspiring.
