Hi all,
With all of the 'gray storm clouds' being discussed on LUGNET this week,
I fear this MOC announcement may get lost in the brouhaha. But the final
pieces arrved from Germany in an amazingly short time (5 days!), so I
went ahead and finished it today. I have completed a new type of mosaic,
similar to a PhotoMosaic picture, but using thousands of decorated LEGO
tiles. I hope my description is not to esoteric on this webpage:
http://www.ericharshbarger.org/lego/girl.html
Oh, and one might take special interest in the link at the bottom of
that page that points out that color variations in LEGO pieces (at least
on printed tiles) have been around for longer than some might have believed.
cheers,
eric harshbarger

| (...) Eric, once again you've shown us a unique use for LEGO (and Java code! *grin*). Your gift for seeing possibilities in the LEGO medium is something that most of us just don't have. Keep up the great work! JohnG, GMLTC (20 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.build.mosaic)

| Very Cool What I find interesting was that most of the tiles are fairly similar in colour, especially the base (ABS) colours, being mainly white, grey and and black and yet the program has identified the ones to use to get the right colours on the (...)
