Just finished my art project...

Took me eight hours. Using 9 shades, from off-white to near-black, we had to make a composition using cut up pieces of 4x4 squares (i cut mine into 1/2" tiny squares), and make some sort of topography or somethin with them.

so, here is what came of my project after 8 hours of HARD labor. (seriously).







if i dont get an A, well... i dont CARE cause i have a mosaic of an rx-7 now!!! for my wall!

Nice job ioTus. No way I'd have the patience to work that out. Love the car you used for the image too.

OK, Geoff, I hope you appreciate how hard this was!! - I took a pic of my baby (see sig) and then got the image laser etched onto a sheet of 1/2 inch glass. Then, using a glass cutting laser I cut out 4x3 rectangles and then did the topography thing. The result is below and total time spent was two weeks. Cool eh?


I'm only kidding, 5 seconds in Paint Shop Pro! (See, I aint even good enough to use Adobe Photoshop!) - Seriously Geoff, you did a great job, lol, there's no way I'd have the paitence!!!

Craig.
