I first saw a Lego mosaic during the master builder tryouts about a year ago (no, I wasn't a finalist), and thought it was pretty cool. I had the simple idea then to make an ace of spades mosaic, but I never really got around to it. Then in early (...) (22 years ago, 31-Dec-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic)

On your webpage you mention the following colours: "white, light gray, bley, dark gray and black". Are you sure that one of the colours is the new colour? Remarkable; I thought they would do a colour-change with all the greys at the same time. (...) (22 years ago, 28-Dec-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic, FTX)

Hi Janey, I was so impressed by your work (ALL YOUR MOCs blew me away!) at BrickFest 2004 in DC that I had to copy the idea of the stained glass windows! Since I'm more a brick technician than artist (like you!) mine is a bit more graphic than (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic)
