Mosaic of me

I've seen this idea on a few of the blogs I visit regularly and copied the instructions to give it a go.

Although it's taken me a while to get around to it, it was fun to do. And I think the result actually does capture and reflect a little of who I am. I like what that looks like.

There were a few little surprises too.

1. Despite choosing turquoise as my favourite colour, I actually have three equally favourite colours. The second is purple and the third is orange. There's quite a lot of orange in the mosaic and I like that. Kind of a subtext result. Cool.

2. I didn't realise I had a celebrity crush on James McAvoy but my fingers apparently knew and, without hesitation, typed his name into the search when responding to that question. He can act and he's not ugly but I think it's the Scottish accent that does it for me. I've always had a weakness for those.

3. Who knew that I share my name with a Polar bear?! I didn't. But now that I do, I'm quite pleased about it.

Here´s how, if you'd like to try it out...

Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr search, choose an image, copy and paste each of the URLs into the Big Huge Labs Mosaic Maker (3 columns, 4 rows). Create mosaic.

The questions:
1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favourite food?
3. What high school did you attend?
4. What is your favourite colour?
5. Who is your current celebrity crush?

9. What do you want to be when you grow up?
