Here is an other example of a gorgeous opus pixellatum mosaic pet portrait.
Amy Galbavy is the owner of Sassy Glass on line. We met last April in Atlanta where I was teaching a class on Opus Pixellatum Mosaic Portraits.

After the class, Amy asked me to realize for her models for 3 mosaics, One of her beautiful daughter and two of her late German Shepherds who had passed not long before that.
She sent me pictures of them and I got in my design mode.
Jet was her male Shepherd.

From this picture I created 3 different grayscale models and eailed them to Amy so she would chose the one she best liked.
 |
| 3 modes of pixellizations |
Amy went for the top model. The mosaic was to be 16 x 16", realized with 8mm tiles (5/16").
I created the actual model and e-mailed it to Amy.

Because she had decided to print it herself I had formatted the model to be printed on 8 standard letter size sheets (8.5 x 11").

Although the model was realized in Grayscale, Amy used a Sepia scale of colors to realize her mosaic.

One of the beauties of this technique is that it allows for many variations from a same model. (See my article about Daniel Adams)
I will create for you a model of a mosaic of your pet as I did for Amy. This printed model comes
with a list and quantities of the tiles needed and instructions to
carry out the work.
