Artistic mosaics created with software aka The Mosaic Project

via mosaicproject.it


You (all) know I sometimes create digital mosaics that are available from the mosaicology shop.

I make my digital mosaics by hand. I mean I use the "good old" mouse. However, did you know you can actually use a software to do just that? I am not talking about constructing industrial-style mosaics with straight lines and no real manual-artisan intervention. I am talking about creating artistic mosaics, resembling real ones! Works of art.

The guy behind this software is Simone Aielli and you can find out more about The Mosaic Project right here.

The potential of this software is beyond your wildest mosaic dreams. And that's from someone who loves ancient and Byzantine mosaics.

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you all.

I see mosaic in...

... powder!

Stumbled on this while doing some research for the translation of a make-up product. The things you come across while translating surely broaden your horizons.

A presto!

Red mosaic heart


Hi everyone,

Here's a new design at the mosaicology shop (on a tile): Red mosaic heart.

We like the idea of using faux-mosaic on a tile as this could inspire interesting combinations for decorative ideas. Hearts go everywhere. In a frame, on kitchen walls, in the living room.

Red mosaic heart is available on Girl's Tees, Women's Sweatshirts, Tank Tops, Mugs, Tiles, Teapots and Pillows.

Find out more here.

The sound of the stones



His name is Pinuccio Sciola, a sculptor and muralist from Sardinia. His work reminds me of mosaic cubes. They also remind me of how nature holds secrets we are too small to see with bare eyes.

Mosaic organisms


Today's mosaic inspiration is a work of Jane du Rand. I have never seen something like this before.A rather edgy demonstration of how mosaic can be applied to translate all aspects of life.

note: Mosaic organisms is the title of this post and not the series of mosaics. It would be interesting to know if the artist has given a title to these pieces.
