Magic and painting are a lot alike. You know, a lot of times, I just can’t paint.
Really? When that happens, what do you do?When that happens, all one can do is struggle through it. I draw and draw, and keep drawing. Then I stop drawing. I take walks, look at the scenery, take naps, do nothing. Then after a while, all of a sudden I get the urge to draw again.
If you don’t crochet, you can tell how beautiful this is. But, I want to explain how you construct a mosaic project:
Depending on the technique, you’re either working two rows of the same color, then switching colors and working back over the rows you just made to get the raised areas.
You might also work a single row of the background color, then switch to the foreground color (which you know from using a chart that has these things marked), and you build the design by working background and foreground over and over.
This means that any mosaic project takes about twice the amount of effort as you might expect because everything has to be doubled to get the proper look.
