I was thinking actual mosaics.   The learning curve has begun,
i.e. the first one was really *bad*.  

At least it'll keep me off the streets for a while!

Yes, copyright is a royal pain for a lot of artistic endeavors -- even

industry editors who have been unable to include various important
stories in anthologies because they can't find out who currently owns
the rights, too.

Always useful!  (Well, not IE of course; but I have large caches for
some *other* browsers).
