Tessera 3 in sandstone, a free form mosaic by Su_G_©SuSchaefer Fabric bysu_g

Multicolored sandstone textured tessera on a smooth dark brown ground. My entry in the Spoonflower ‘Mosaic’ Design Challenge. © Su Schaefer 2017 Thumbnails (and swatch view) show the sandstone texture better and the print on basic cotton - double click for a clearer view. My original artwork in crayon on paper, was given the sandstone texturizing treatment, puttied onto a smooth dark ground, and turned into a basic repeat. Just like making a regular mosaic only less messy. See more mosaic designs by Su_G. (http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/su_g?shop_selection=tag&tag=mosaic) See other designs by Su_G.

[Currently set @ Fabric: 318 ppi, no Wallpaper] [ no wp (was 262 ppi) - removed Mar 2024 // Proofed on fabric @ 318, was 168 for contest viewing. Would need to reload for wp at same size // Filename: Col3_sandstone_tesellae-insmooth-dk-brown // Prev. description: Tessellae is the plural of tessella which is a small tessera which is a "small square piece of stone, wood, ivory or glass used for making a mosaic"(according to Wiktionary). But I like to think they don't need to be square. These are crayon on paper, given the glass treatment and turned into a basic repeat.]
