Monday Mosaic:Grids


I wanted to do something different today.
I hope you don't mind.

But this subject just seems to lend itself
to mosaic format.


Enjoy!
And be sure to visit Mary's Little Red House
to find the list of other Monday Mosaic players.

Very, very clever. I agree -- it could be enlarged and framed - it would be great hanging on a wall.

Thanks, Steven! The element you like is a closeup of a very old, heavy wooden door I spotted in Mexico.

Naquillity: Try it -- it's easier than you'd think. There are online mosaic makers that are free. Plus some of the photo programs have mosaic-maker features. I personally created a 6 x 6 template and place photos and move them around until I like the arrangement.

Bonnie: I gratefully accept the compliment. Thanks so much!

Rebecca: I can't wait to hear (and see) more. You are such a blessing to me!

Leavesnbloom, Violetlady and Ingmarie: I've enjoyed visiting your blogs and seeing what you're doing, too.

Lisa: You're a testament to the power of prayer. Bless you!

Hi Meri, I hope you had a wonderful Easter! Wow, this mosaic is so impressive and unique...I just love this! It should be made larger and put into a beautiful frame. Gosh, I could even see this as a painting to! Very nice! I hope that you have a lovely new week!
hugs...

Hello Meri,
I like these windows open to the world. A very good idea for a well down mosaic.
Thanks for your comments.

Your Mosaic is beautiful. In your previous posting I fell in love with your waves crashing. That is definitely a keeper.

Have a wonderful week!

Astrological Profile

Image
So. . . according to the time and place of my birth, my Sun is in Virgo. My Moon is in Scorpio. My rising sign (Ascendant) is in Aries. I tend toward perfectionism and can be critical, sometimes directing it at others but mostly toward myself. I have emotional depth and when I fall in love, I'm totally committed and expect the same of my Beloved (though my secret fear is betrayal). I like being active and my mind is quick. Knowledge is important to me, as is mastery of things that interest me. I tend to dive into things headfirst and sometimes I let myself go hogwild. . . and wear myself out. And often, once I know as much about something as I need to know, I lose interest and am off to the next shiny thing. What's your profile? (And I know that the good stuff applies, but the bad stuff is just so much bunk.)

Art Journal Pages # 34

Image
It's been a while since I worked in my "real" art journal, the one I collage and draw in after having painted the watercolor paper pages with liquid watercolors. Well. . .  painted is probably not an accurate depiction, since I usually saturate a wadded up paper towel  and smear the damp paint on, or maybe sponge it on. And then wait. And wait. Waiting for the page to dry. Then I begin to glue various things onto pages with Yes paste or acrylic gel medium. And wait again. It can sometimes take two or three days to find just the right things for the page, adhere them, and wait for the layer to dry so I can build in the next one. Meanwhile, the thickness of my art journal expands like an unruly waistline. Digital art journaling, on the other hand, is much tidier. And quicker. And just as layered and nuanced. I make these babies on Polyvore.com. If you're interested in learning how, email me (meriak@y...
