 | | Text in walls
|
| Hi all! Being new to this, and after trying, I realised that mosaics are not that easy to do. To be specific I want to have a text in a wall. I tought that it would be simple, but now I realise that it will take some more time. I am not even sure (...) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic, lugnet.build)

| Hi all! Thanks for the help, it was very useful. I have made what I needed, and got the idea to add a font to those available - mine is smaller: (URL) have even added symbols for: - = degrees. This font is 2 bricks high (including a tile below). I (...) (20 years ago, 26-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic, lugnet.build)

I was playing around with non-english letters, got some, and was (...) (20 years ago, 26-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic, lugnet.build)

An smaller M would be like a W upside down with the two top corners filled in, with the advantage that it's only 5 (...) (20 years ago, 26-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic, lugnet.build)

The K and Z, partly R too are hard to read, a colleaque here could not figure it out. (...) (20 years ago, 28-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic, lugnet.build)
