How Big Should a Mosaic Be?

The size of your mosaic depends on what you intend to do with it. As noted earlier, the technique can have several applications. You might build a mosaic that you just want to be a display piece (such as an image of your pet or favorite car) on a 32x32 stud baseplate or perhaps on the larger 48x48 stud version.

On the other hand, you may want the mosaic portion of a larger model only to be a small section of a wall or the side of a vehicle. I’ll show you examples of both uses in this chapter.
