Wow this is REALLY REALLY cool. Im in the process of building a mosaic
using plates on their sides (studs pointing upwards). Im not done yet, but
the pattern on the plan I created (using Bricksaic) could be better. Its
not Bricksaics fault - the pattern Im trying to re-create is probably too
complex for the small area Im putting it in, so your technique may help
improve detail.

If youd 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.

My immediate question is though, can your mosaic be built for real without
using glue? I havent visualized the building process, but you might need to
get very creative when matching up the vertical units with the horizontal
ones...

Well, the thing is... the whole construction doesnt need to be 1 brick thin...
theres plenty of space to construct behind the mosaic.
Ive made a picture with some examples:
3 ways to snot
From left to right:
1: using 1x1 bricks with hole. Those things arent 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 its 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,
