Mini Mosaics are built atop a 6×6 or 8×8 plate that can be completed in under 15 minutes as a way to fit creativity with LEGO into a busy life. Nicole (blu.fam.bricks) demonstrates and advocates for the format online and in person and hosts events to encourage participation and sharing. Earlier this month, she hosted a 10-day challenge to build 9 daily mini mosaics and a final 10th post with each build in a grid. Dozens of builders from around the globe and of all ages participated. Here is a selection of the inspiring mini mosaics, starting with Nicole’s creations.
Across her nine creations, Nicole plays with printed tiles and textures. She even made a lenticular mosaic using cheese slopes that shows a different pattern depending on which angle you examine it from.
Katja (Palixa and the Bricks) paints with a kaleidoscope of colors across her nine mosaics.
Becca (brickbuildaway) breaks free from the grid with this exuberant batch of very modern mosaics.
Jessica Bavier tends to a floral arrangement of mosaics, showing how much variety can stem from a constrained colors.
Architect Bergbrick further simplifies the palette too just two colors. The builder uses depth to playfully escape the limitation of the grid.
Jessica (dontbrickmedown) goes for extra credit with an exuberant mosaic frame to expand the canvass of her nine mini mosaics. Staging her build on a patchwork quilt adds an extra level of color!
Each mosaic in this ensemble from cynthia_brickbuilds features a distinct and pleasing mix of 3-4 colors. I definitely want to try some oof these combinations in my own builds.
Demonstrating how mini mosaics cam be a great family activity, mom Ashley and daughter Maddie each made their own grid.
As co-host of #mosaicsonmonday, Dana (virginia.bricks) is a true mosaic master. Her grid of nine demonstrates a mix of clever techniques, incorporating clips and curves in fun ways.
Ian Cooper knows how much we love teal and sand green in these parts and delivers in this dynamic grid that also brings in Ninjago spinners.
