Some amazing jewelery from IMOOI including a mosaic pattern. I love the polished look of these! They might be a bit "industrial" but they are very classy.

Let's talk about men
I know that Winter is "officially" over and this was a Menswear A/W 2013 trend but I had to post this picture!
Look at the tile patterns on the jackets.......
Would you like to see your man wear this?

Everypiece counts in large amounts. ARTAIC's mosaic patterns
Even though I truly admire mosaic artists that work on very small scale mosaics, there's something about large scale mosaics covering entire walls and spaces that fascinates me. It's like with huge jewelry. They make a statement.
Whereas small mosaics or micro-mosaics embellish a space and give a special aura of dicontinuity among other decorative items, the role of giant mosaics is to make a statement. To define a space. Mosaic is what calls the shots. Every other element should follow the rules set by this mosaic work.
I'm particularly impressed with the "links" mosaic here. Perfect for high-tech spaces or anywhere. Strict, formal and chic. Absolutely chic.

Gold-leaf mosaic vases perfect for Lara Croft
Imad Punto Mosaico is a company from Ravenna that creates some very distinctive glistening mosaics that combine mixed media, Murano beads and a slight Aztec dimension to their mosaic style. Don't you see these vases somewhere inside a Lara Croft game or is it just me?
Very interesting work!

The Human Form in Mosaic by Elaine M.Goodwin
My decision to subscribe as an associate with Amazon has been a wise one and that's not because of the possibility to earn money from this program but mainly because I get to scour and dig out great MOSAIC BOOKS like this one! This book should be a must if you want to explore ways to render the human form with mosaic tesserae. The name of the author should be your guarantee. Elaine M. Goodwin.
Book description:
Book description:
"The Human Form in Mosaic" is an original and revelatory exploration in the hands of an accomplished artist and author, using the human form as a means to introduce the reader to the technique of mosaic-making. The author guides the reader through the step-by-step process of individually cutting and placing 'tesserae' - the small pieces of marble, gold, glass and ceramic that go to make up mosaics - to articulate the human form, both the body and the face."

D&G Mosaic Women vs. Theodora's Court
 |
| Year 2013, Milan, Dolce & Gabbana "Tailored mosaic" collection |
 |
| Year 547, Ravenna - Theodora and her court, Byzantium |
Is it maybe time for a film on Theodora, Empress of Byzantium? Screenwriters, writers, ghost-writers, producers, directors: Get right on it.
Pictures from D&C's Winter 2014 "Tailored mosaic" collection
If you google "Dolce Gabbana tailored mosaic" you'll see that most of the articles regarding this superb collection have been posted 24/02/2013, so this is really "fresh". See my post from last night right HERE.
And to think I have been blogging about Byzantine mosaics for almost three years now...
