| (...) Yes it is ! If you build larger mosaics, you'll see that it gets much heavier if you only use plates. The more bricks you use, the lighter your finished mosaic will be. The best method??

| I do not know if anyone has used this type of mosaic yet. But I was looking for a way to make cheap and large mosaics. Using 1x1 plates have limited colors and can cost a bit. But 1x2 bricks are less than .01 each. Plus we can find these in all (...) (21 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mosaic, FTX) !!
