Does anybody have any ideas how to kick this off ?
or do you know anybody that does it ?
A few years ago me & an ex tiling partner came up with an idea how to turn pictures into mosaics, we flushed out an idea how we wanted to fix such a thing as a large mosaic
We wanted numbered tiles that when fixed in the right order made the picture,
So I wrote a little program (coding is a hobby) that scanned a picture and printed out coloured squares that represented the colour of the mosaic at that position,
I thought id re invented the wheel, later on I found a program on the net that did exactly this and better. So I went with “Imagetomosaic” off the net then the problem of actually getting this into a real world item caused a few problems
Anyway most problems were sorted by having an engineering company make up some metal grids for making the thing up…..which worked like a dream
So now I can turn most any picture into a mosaic made of numbered 200 x200 mosaic sheets
Problem 1: finding a mesh back that will hold 12mm x 1 2mm mozzies is hard to find
Problem 2: a good water proof adhesive that will stick the mesh to the mozzies
Problem 3: how to get this off the ground and actually get work
Any thought or ideas would be appreciated
