Mosaic or Collage.

 Mosaic Monday.

The original definition of mosaic was "a surface decoration made by inlaying small pieces of variously colored material to form pictures or patterns," and it is related to the word museum. It can also be "something resembling a mosaic," and it popular use it can be a collage or even a group of ideas.

Here I made a collage of pictures representing fashions through American history, with the middle row and a few other pictures being family photos. All these pictures are from this blog. 

I wanted to edit a photo to look like a mosaic but the mosaic filter in Photoshop just give my flower image a blocky look. I used the stained glass filter instead. 

Here's another experiment with filters and layers. I inverted and solarized the top layer, and eventually chose certain blocks on a grid and erased them from the top layer. It's an odd image but it may be a technique to try again.
