    Hope this is ok. I was scared when I read this. But the steps were very easy to follow. I used the picture below, and sniped one side of it.

    Fun technique. The hardest part was figuring out which photo I liked best as the mosaic, tried about 5 of them...

    original-cropped.jpg I was a bit intimidated after seeing how many gorgeous layouts are already posted, but I am happy with my results. Thanks for a very nice challenge!

    and um, some of us, well me anyway, swear AT it, lol. Enjoy! I used to use Gimp. Tried PS CC, rarely used it the first year, even letting my subscription drop. I got determined, took lots of lessons/tutorials, renewed it and haven't looked back.

    I used the photo of my son as an astronaut (main photo) as my mosaic photo background. My old program did not make the mosaic very blurry ( it was a very sharp mosaic pattern) so I had to blur it.

    Here is mine, cool technique, I think I might like to play with it some more, but not enough time. Maybe a torn edge on the mosaic, maybe increasing the soft light layer to make it a little softer, maybe smaller geometric.

    And the original photo (similar to the inset, but a little different)

    Looks like a mosaic to me, RJMJ, so scrap away! :) Don't forget to add your original image when adding your layout!

    Here's my original photo (also the same one in the layout).

    Here's my layout:

    This is such a cool technique, but like @tinkerbell1112 said, I was disappointed that these are the max size of the mosaic pieces that you can do in Artisan. I also used the mosaic on the background paper at a very small setting.

    I agree with @tinkerbell1112 - Artisan needs more options for this technique. Might play around with it more another time. I am pretty happy with the result. I love the ones here with bigger tiles!
