What does Amy Childs have to do with mosaic art?

Take a look at this picture. What do you see? Amy Childs showing (among other things) her jewelery collection. Look closer. See where she's posing? Yes, a mosaic bathtub! Not the first time we see mosaic bathtubs on Mosaicology, so let's just call it a trend....

Snowflake tile art (and some thoughts about getting a new blog)

At this time of year I always seem to be attracted to snowflake art so I wanted to share this impressive tile design from Bisazza. 

Seems that I'm still attracted to Mosaicology. My first (blog) love. And I see that people want this blog to continue.

I think there's a way to combine everything. Stay tuned.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I got you under my skin

I am sure that this picture requires no words besides giving the image/product credit to its distinguised creator, SICIS.

An amazing mosaic portrait using legos or Adam Baldwin as a source of inspiration

The artist behind this lego mosaic artist is Dave Ware and his website is called .... BRICKWARES. Quite spot on! He makes mosaics using legos. When I saw this picture I immediately thought of "Chuck" the TV series where Adam Baldwin played the part of a detective. That TV series had inspired me to write a post on Freelance Writing Dreams (where you will find me from time to time doing some writing work). The post was called ARE YOUR FREELANCE WRITING DREAMS DOOMED? There's a very good reason why I used the word "DOOMED" and it had something to do with an Adam Baldwin's line.

So you can say that Adam Baldwin HAS provided the INSPIRATION for a MOSAIC PORTRAIT and a FREELANCE MOTIVATIONAL POST.

Go to BRICKWARES site and see more fascinating lego mosaics!
