Hi everyone, thought I share with you the reason behind my reduced activity lately.
This is my wifes cat. Its larger than life and so is this mosaic, lol .Its approx 850x850mm with the frame. There are approx. 4750 x 10mm tessarae all cut from 150x150 wall tiles using my retired TS600.

Its about all I can do now after my accident, which by the way has been a year now and was informed today that the builders who were responsible for the accident have now filed for bankruptcy and I wont get my day in court, as the labour dept. cant prosecute a bankrupt company. Its taken them 12 mths of stalling tactics and just not turning up for court and now they chuck the towel in the gutless wonders. Anyway I gotta move on dont I!!!
Anyway I'm half way through another mosaic that is smaller but will have about 10,000 tessarae. I will post when completed

Wow, Bobby, some serious effort and staying power there!!! Cut from tiles??? Good grief....well done you Really sorry to hear about your whole accident story. Somehow though my instinct tells me you are going to do just fine, it's just a matter of time, don't lose faith there. You'll get there, you will be ok. x

Here is a mosaic of my daughters dog. Taken from a photo and processed the picture into a tessalated image and worked from that then chose the colours/tiles and cut into 5mm x 5mm pieces.
The mosaic measures 650mm x 650mm and is made up of approx 10,000 tessarae
It didn't take as long as I expected but had to take a few breaks, before I lost my mind.
Yeah Yeah I know I must of lost my mind to even think about doing this one. :yikes:
But you know what, I'm even thinking about the next one all ready. Any requests??

Nice work, interesting to see this style used. Have you thought about any other styles of work? Especially seeing as you're cutting all your own tesserae you can be quite inventive.

I did it at STC in Harlow Tiling Courses | Plastering Courses | Painting and Decorating Courses | Specialist Trade Courses

Did they teach you the geometric calculations or were they done via a CAD program? Lovely work!

I've completed a few over the years, have you checked out my album ? thats just a sample of my work.
I will be experimenting with this latest method. I think I may work on a black and white using a few shades of grey from white to black.
I'd love to do a life size piece of an actual person. Ultimately a life size insitu in tumbled marble would be awesome.
thanks for your kind comments.

Just a few pics of a job I have just completed. If anyone is interested in setting out geometric work, (getting areas symmetrical etc) dry laying to pull full headers.
