my mosaic

this mosaic idea was inspired by one of my favorite bloggers bohogirl. it was such a wonderful way to unwind from a hectic tuesday; thinking about these questions and selecting these photos. some were actually quite a bit harder than they might seem! (shocking. i know. see: #11)

I realized how infrequently i ask myself many of these questions; questions I believe should always be at the very front of our minds and hearts keeping us alive and aware of where we've been, what we want, love, enjoy, desire, dream to be. it was interesting to see where i found ease and where i struggled.

certain answers were easy: burnt orange.
then hard: which photo is my favorite and what about it do i love more than that other one over there...?

it is amazing how these random questions and answers and photos (while chosen by me) were all completely new, and yet the moment my mosaic was revealed it felt so familiar. the images came together in a way that reflected a mood or energy that embodies me somehow; that i connect with.

take some time for yourself and give your right brain a chance to play. here's how you make your own mosaic:

type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr search. using only the first page, click on your favorite image. then copy and paste the URL for that image into the mosaic maker (3 columns, 4 rows as i did, or any arrangement you choose).

The questions:
1. What is your first name? (isis)
2. What is your favorite food? (soul)
3. What high school did you attend? (marlboro)
4. What is your favorite color? (burnt orange)
5. Who is your celebrity crush? (david beckham)
6. Favorite drink? (mojito)
7. Dream vacation? (majorca)
8. Favorite dessert? (sweet potato pie)
9. What do you want to be when you grow up? (free)
10.What do you love most in life? (intimacy)
11. One word to describe you. (contemplative)
12. Your Flickr name. (maat)
