Colors of the Brick

Sorry for the blitz in posting, but I finished a project and am ready to catch up on my backlog of mosaic posts.

Eldert (evhh) made this very interesting bas-relief colors collage.  I find myself staring at it for long stretches of time, admiring the pieces used and the color transitions.

Although it's not really of anything specific, I think it's one of my favorite mosaics that I've seen in awhile.  If I had the right kind of house (you know, the kind that looks more like an art museum and less like a daycare), I would love to hang something like this up on my walls. 

Dark Side of the Moon

Isaac Mazer (Ricecracker.) made this beautiful rendition of the cover of the Pink Floyd Album Dark Side of the Moon.

Here is the original for a comparison:

I love how Isaac used white, trans-clear, and trans-black pieces to achieve gradations of color.  Using black can help to cover up imperfections in a cheese slope mosaic.  If you look closely at the largest sizes of the photo, you will see that there is even a modified plate with a door rail with the rail part filling up a small area.  In another color this might be more obvious, but with black it all blends together and looks great. 

Thanks to Simon for the tip!
