Making Photo Mosaic Card 0

Posted on March 02, 2010 by dorischua

One of my favourite hobbies is to design and create my own handmade greeting cards for friends on special occasions. I used to do them alot in the past but it’s been hard to find time to do it these days. Making indie cards can be meaningful and inspirational. Recently I received one with a photo mosaic on it, I thought that was kinda cool.

For those who don’t know, a photo mosaic is a photo made up of many smaller photos. To say it another way: A photo mosaic is a photo that has been divided up into small squares or rectangles. Each rectangle is the replaced by a separate photo that closely approximates the color the rectangle was. One of the first creators of photo mosaics, Robert Silvers, patented the production of and name photomosaic. However, there are many companies around the world using various methods and technologies to legally create photo mosaics.

Well, perhaps I may need a pair of safety glasses if those mosaics are real pieces of ceramic! Imagine a mosaic painting dropping and falling down!! But don’t get confused… these photo mosaics are just coined by the little sizes and not those mosaics you see in kitchen table tops and walls!
