Tried mixing pixel art and mosaics. Pixel art from a doodle I posted a while ago, it's not the best, but good enough for this experiment.
The photo makes it look a better than it does in real life because I sized it down. Also, my camera is poor quality.
Mosaic squares are about 1/4 inch ( 6 mm or so), the whole thing is a little larger than the palm of your hand. The small tray holds nine tiles by nine tiles square. They are also shiny glass, which looks worse than a flat color would. Too many specular highlights.
This isn't a success, but I'm not sure if it's a failure either. Have to think on it a bit.
