I like mosaics. I like SNOT. The unholy combination of these two resulted in
what I’ll call mixed mosaics. (anyone willing to devise a witty acronym is
free to do so.)

Wow this is REALLY REALLY cool. I’m in the process of building a mosaic using
plates on their sides (studs pointing upwards). I’m not done yet, but the
pattern on the plan I created (using Bricksaic) could be better. It’s not
Bricksaic’s fault - the pattern I’m trying to re-create is probably too complex
for the small area I’m putting it in, so your technique may help improve detail.
My immediate question is though, can your mosaic be built for real without using
glue? I haven’t visualized the building process, but you might need to get very
creative when matching up the vertical units with the horizontal ones...
I’ll definitely give you credit if/when I get this thing to work.

If you’d mail me the picture I may be able to give some pointers or create a
plan for you... unless you want to do it all by yourself, of course.

Well, the thing is... the whole construction doesn’t need to be 1 brick thin...
there’s plenty of space to construct behind the mosaic.
I’ve made a picture with some examples:
3 ways to snot
From left to right:
1: using 1x1 bricks with hole. Those things aren’t useable in every situation,
and I may ditch them alltogether.
2: Simple, and using only one headlight brick.
3: This may be a bit hard to visualize. The idea is that I would build
the two
differently-oriented mosaics in such a way that they would hold themselves
together without requiring additional parts. This is only a simplified example,
but I think it’s possible to create a mosaic out of two parts that snugly fit
together this way.

That's true (mosaic can be more than 1 brick deep). And judging from your
picture, SNOT comes very natural to you! :) Being mostly a castle builder
myself, I just don't have very much experience with SNOT...
Example 3 looks very complex if you were to make an entire mosaic like that!
Thanks,
