Something’s not right

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

I like mosaic art, I’ve never actually done any, but it intrigued me. Made up of hundreds of tiny pieces of stone, glass and ceramic. If you look at it close up it doesn’t really look like anything special, if anything it looks like a mess. But if you take a step back and view the whole picture- it’s a master piece. I guess it’s kind of like life. So many tiny parts, some messy if we look just at the one part. Some day i guess I’d hope that the mess of my life will at some point look half decent.

So here is part of my mosaic, bits and pieces kept tidy together 🙂

tagging you @Emelia8 cause you asked 🙂

Re: My Mosaic

Ok 🙂

so you can pretty much search any kind of image plus SVG

you want images like this to start with. Just a single layer.

 

click the image, and then the 3 little dots and download the image.

open design space. And upload your image. Then ya need to delete the background. Even though I pay the subscription and I can have the background deleted automatically, sometimes with the finer details it erased too much and removes part of the image too. So gotta do the ‘select’ button and delete background that way.

then apply

covert to a ‘single layer’ (that’s just one colour)- play with that first before you start with multiple layers and colours.

then make as usual.

there is so many images on Pinterest that you can use.

Is this only in pinterest? I'm doing it on google while on this work laptop to 'practise' before i do it on my ipad later tonight, but I'm lost.

I just typed it in the google search bar @Bow

Re: My Mosaic

Yep totally works in google @tyme anywhere you wanna find images. Just add svg on the end so that it gives you the simple images 

this is a ‘Disney svg’ search in google. Just save the image and then upload to design studio

Re: My Mosaic

I think I'm getting it. So you go to google images, then type in "Disney SVG" , then you save the image and upload it to the Design Cricuit app?

If so, I'm excited! I thought you had to buy everything!

What about fonts. Can you download fonts? @Bow

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Yep that’s it @tyme !

and nope don’t need to buy anything really. I’m not sure about the fonts? I think there is an option ‘system’ in the font part, perhaps that’s what fonts you have already downloaded like from 1001 free fonts? Like into word

Re: My Mosaic

I know there's some you can download within the app, but I don't really like those fonts. To be honest, as you can tell, I really just haven't made time to look into it.

Let me know if you work it out.

But I also have to say, I don't know what I don't know. I never know you could download that SVG things... whatever it is @Bow

Hiow'd you know? Did you watch videos or something?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

I love the work you do @Bow

Im ok, spent a few hours at you know where last night but they let me go when they got super busy.

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Yeah I just kinda learn as I go @tyme to be honest. If I want to make something I just try. I will say that I do tend to pick up computer programs quickly though. At my work I use to train new staff in our database program.

i just play until I get it. I joined a couple of FB groups. Search stuff on Pinterest- they have videos on there too.

I do get very annoyed though. Those calendars I made gave me grief for days!


you can use other types of files too. Just normal images that you set up as a print and cut project.


I know you’re so busy…. I’m not! So I have plenty of time to look and play 🙂
