iHeart Mosaic Madness & Tutorial

I’m going a little crazy today with the mosaics. I’ve found a great way to do them and I want to tell you how.

But first here’s another Las Vegas mosaic. As much fun as it was to wander around and look at beautiful hotels and eat good food, the reason we went was to attend a reunion of great fighter pilots and navigators. There were people we hadn’t seen in a long time and many that I’ve heard of over the years but just had the honor of meeting last week. It was sentimental and fun at the same time.

This one has more faces in it because this one will be entered into the iHeartfaces collage contest.

So here’s an easy and free way to do this…I learned it from Mary at Little Red House.

First you should get yourself a Flickr account. It’s free up to a certain number of photos. I have a free account and it’s a huge source of great photography and photography resources.

Then go to Mosaic Maker at Big Huge Labs. You can choose your layout, the number of columns and background colors. It’s a hoot, I’ve been there all night playing with it and watching Dancing with the Stars at the same time.

p.s. I like Pamela Anderson and I never thought I would. Moving on…

Once you have your layout and colors set, click on the blank thumbnails to upload your photos. After you hit the Create button on the bottom you can always go back and edit your mosaic if you aren’t happy with it. When you are done, click Save at the top and you can download the photo to your computer.

There you go! Easy! Thank you Mary!

There is also a free collage on Jodi’s site. I’ve used that a couple of times. All photos were edited with Jodi’s Bag of Tricks prior to putting the mosaic together. After the mosaic was together, I used the Pool Party action (my favorite) from TRA’s action set.

So happy mosaic making!
