Muse Thalia, new mosaic print

 

There's a new mosaic print on selected jewelry items. It's Thalia, the muse of comedy and pastoral poetry. Show your sophisticated style by wearing this lovely pic of soft hues.

"Keep calm and put the pieces together" quote's new improved version

The "Keep calm and put the pieces together" design has been improved. It has been enlarged and looks more vibrant and stylish. Same with the other "Keep calm and mosaic on" quotes in pink, blue and green. Please note that all images are at 300dpi high resolution.

Mosaicology is currently working on a new "surprise" design (no quotes) due Spring.

Take care.

I see #mosaic in .... this coral #orange necklace

And of course I like it. Why? Cause I love coral orange. And I am all in when it comes to randomness and minimalism.

Rihanna's #mosaic bikini version

Have you seen Rihanna wearing this mosaic bikini? Well, if you haven't, I'm telling you it's from 2011. I wonder if she knows about the bikini girls of Piazza Armerina but who cares if she does. Thing is, kudoz to her for choosing faux tiles. You see mosaic NEVER goes OUT of FASHION. Mosaic is posh.

A presto,

Magda

Mosaic Spotting: Kikko vest by Bea Valdes

photo credit: couturelab.com

This striking vest - yet another exquisite beaded creation by Bea Valdes - is inspired by the book "The Art of War". Its symmetrical embellishment and right choice of colours are surely reminiscent of Chinese epic films with swords, tea leafs and cunning women walking and shedding that false tear .

Talking of tea, back to some black tea with milk and sugar!

(but how I wish I had some jasmine tea now)

A presto!

Mosaic is posh (or what this blog is about)

As I was trying to find something appropriate as a cover for my Facebook Page, I was thinking about what message I have been trying to give to my readers and fans since I started the blog and how this blog has evolved.

It didn't take long to come up with the motto "Mosaic is posh" as I'm already using the word "posh" in my designs. But that's not the reason why. I mean, yes, mosaic is a trend - a timeless trend - and it's associated with prestige and times of prosperity (think Hellenistic times, 6th century and 11th century Byzantium) but mosaic is more than that.

Mosaic can be an inspiration for people who are not directly involved in mosaic making. In my case, I have used mosaic in combination with other things, to show its importance and its influence. I have located clothes, accessories, scarfs, objects that "subconsciously" had mosaic in them and I mosaicologised them. And I did this "unconsciously".

For about three years, I have been doing just that. Bringing mosaic closer to those who don't know it, who never had the chance to touch a mosaic tile or who might have ignored the perfect beauty of mosaic floors. I wanted to exalt mosaic.

I once remember someone's comment that said: "Thanks to you and your blog, I can no longer ignore mosaic floors!"

When I saw Dolce and Gabbana's recent Tailored Mosaic collection, besides almost fainting out of excitement, I knew I was RIGHT. And will you believe that long before the Tailored Mosaic's first appearance on the catwalk, I was envisioning prints of mosaics on silk fabric? But who am I to do such a thing?

If this is promoting mosaic art, I don't know. That's not my objective. My mission is mosaic as fashion and as a superb and exciting art form that's always "in".

Mosaic is posh!

Now thanks to

 Dolce & Gabbana,

Chanel,

Alexander McQueen,

Pentheroudakis,

Hermes,

PurseN,

Gwen Stefani

and others,

my seemingly pointless blogging now makes sense!
