Its pouring with rain (though the garden needed it) so played around with some of my favourite pics.
As I am a curvy person ;) I decided that curves would be the subject of this collage. Much more interesting than straight lines!
Some of them were taken on various holidays, one or two locally. I love the curves that lead the eye into a point - a doorway, or the focal point of the curve itself. A couple of them were taken with the phone on my mobile, so not very good. But I like them, anyway, and they remind me of a very happy time!
Somehow curves seem more natural - nature doesn't have many straight lines (I know, stems!) but they have a real intention - holding a flower, or a tree up) and I bet the cells have curves!
I love looking up at the roofs of great churches and cathedrals. So much of it is unseen by the usual throng of visitors, but so much is beautiful - all carved, built and presented for the glory of God!
Just wish I could be as creative!

Your photography is really creative. I think you could have a new career with it! I too am a very curvy person - think Beryl Cooke painting!! xx
Angela - I use Picassa3 - you just choose your photos, and Picassa puts them in a collage. You can shuffle them around, and have a choice of layouts. Thank you for your compliments!
Diane - join the curvy club! I love Beryl Cooke paintings!
Lovely photos and I spy a less curvy me in one of them! x
I love your theme photos. Very nicely arranged also. You have a natural eye for aesthetics. Love how your share your thoughts also:)
Oh Gilly,
I share everyones enjoyment of your composition. Just delightful. I also was going to ask how to do the technique. Thanks for letting us all in on the process. I look forward to what you put together next.
What a great idea for a theme for your mosaic, curves! I am so impressed with your technological ability as well as the photography.
I love that montage; especially the stained glass.
wow nice curves and nice reflection I love the stained glassed window and the bows
Kenju and Marja - the stained glass window is in the refectory at Chester Cathedral. It is a modern piece representing Creation - and its fascinating!
The bows are actually big swculptures representing the marram grass which was collected years ago by villagers on Anglesey and sold to the hat making business. Its at the entrance to the nature reserve which is mostly the dunes where the marrag grass grew.
I love this Gilly, wonderfully creative and I find curves so much more interesting than straight lines :)
Gilly, I love this. You are very creative. I would love to be able to do this.
You are so clever Gilly. I am going to have to find out out to do that. Have just discovered the Mosaic Monday blog site - you should take a look and take part. A x
You have lots of talent showing here!
Gilly - just to let you know there is something for you at my place. A x
Lovely photos. I must make a point of going to have a proper look at Chester Catherdral next time I am in Chester.
Yahoo for curves!
I love the first picture of the stained glass, you could re,create that with watercolour patchwork. Thanks for visiting--cottonreel
