   What I did last night. Marilyn Monroe folks!
  Yeah, I spawned this idea of tiling a photo of somebody at a tile show in Växjö, south sweden, a while ago and the guys there suggested Marilin Monroe would be a nice target for the experiment. Professionally, I''m a tile layer, so the idea is not far away of course, but the materials were sort of expensive for an experiment but they are nice guys at the shop so they got all the material I needed to make it if they could use the end result in their store. Which is of course good for my company too I basicly made up a map for the tiles this first, looking like this, which helps me when producing the final art:After I did this picture, I showed it to the guys at the shop and they thought it was an excellent idea, and since they saw that it worked they tried different designs of their own, but to be honest, I don''t think theirs really cut it.So we ordered the tiles and I finally (three long weeks delivery time) got them. The special about it is that the mosaik tiles are a bit small than normal mosaik, and the finish on them is kinda nice.. will work great where it will be located.So last night I put the tiling together, which was a pretty detailed job I tell you, and tomorrow I will bring this to the shop for uncoverage, but first I''d like to know what you think about it, so here it is:(image awfully resized in browser, I know)CheersAlbert Sandberg

I had a go a producing a map from this image:100x75 tiles, posterized to 10 levels, so that's 10 different colors of tile. On average, 750 tiles of each color.If you're up for a big project.
