Hi, everyone!
In early November 2004, a woman commissioned me to create a mosaic of her
children as a gift for her husband.
Read all about it on MOCpages.
The mosaic is about 3.5 feet wide and 2 feet tall, and uses about 7000 or
8000 pieces. In addition to the basics -- red, blue, yellow, white, and
black -- I used dark grey, light grey, tan, green, and orange. That helped
achieve more detail, because it meant there’d be was less “diffusion” ...
which was important because the mosaic is be pretty small given the amount
of detail required.
I hope you like it! The client was very happy with the results, and this
piece now sits over their mantle in their home. (She said that all the kids
that see it immediately know it’s LEGO, yet the parent’s don’t.) :)

Nicely done in such a small sapce. Did you use the
Lugnet Mosaic Maker, or a program of your
own devise? In this pic, it looks like you have only specific colors being shown on your laptop.
Also can you give some details on your storage system
behind you? Looks like
the individual bins can be moved off the wall to where ever you are building?
That’s pretty cool.

I then make each color a Photoshop "layer" (...) (20 years ago, 14-Dec-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic, FTX)
