Hey all!
I've built another mosaic. It's baby Pluto, in honor of finding out that our
next child is going to be a boy. I know that baby Mickey might seem like a
more logical choice, but I found this cute picture and was inspired.
It's basically the same construction[1] as the mosaic of my daughter, Kendra,
except that it's three studs thick instead of two. This adds greatly to the
structural integrity and allows it to stand up unsupported.
I uploaded pictures of it to Brickshelf.

Picture 1 is the image I scanned from the back of a Disney Baby board book
from Grolier Books. Picture 2 is a picture of the front of the mosaic.
(sorry about the darkness). Picture 3 is the back side. I clearly ran out
red bricks. ;) Picture 4 is the mosaic image from Todd's Mosaic Maker.
Although it's 50% larger in area than my first mosaic, and 50% thicker, it
took less time to build (only about 15 hours) since the colors in the picture
more closely match Lego brick colors and because there are large areas of
white background.
Thanks, Todd, for the remarkably great Mosaic Maker, and thanks, Kevin, for
the image hosting on Brickshelf.
LMKWYT!
