We have some new reading/inspiration material! Volume 24 of Mosaico&Mosaici: the 2020-2021 yearbook from the Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli, showcasing all their incredible works from the past year! Pictured: Mosaic interpretarions of Jason Anderson’s incredible paintings. Definitely worth grabbing a copy from our Beyond Smalti section📗 We are also doing a bundle with Volume 23 & 24, if you want to get both at once 📚

MICROMOSAIC CHALLENGE! As most of you know, filati have been all the rage lately in the US. Traditionally, filati are used by master craftsmen for very detailed micromosaic images. Lately we are seeing them used more for abstract, contemporary art pieces.
I thought it would be fun to do a little filati challenge, interpreting a painting by the King of Pointillism, Seurat.
How to enter: interpret this painting or a detail of this painting (“Seascape” by Seurat) using any filati from anywhere - can be from us at the Smalti Emporium, another manufacturer, or even your own personal handmade filati. And then DM or email us photos! We will share them for everyone to enjoy ✨
This is just for fun, but it’s is an excellent exercise to think about color theory in mosaic work! A lot of mosaic work behaves very much like pointillism. Pay attention to the colors put next to each other, and the effect of the background color (for us mosaicists it is the mortar).
I am excited to see what everyone makes! 💕

When I bought purple potatoes the other day, I assumed the name referred to the skin, which is purplish. But I just cut them open and they are beautifully purple through and through! & I now know that, if any of you were wondering, we have the colors to make a purple potato mosaic 😋
