Are you calling me narcissistic?

This is the definition of narcissistic: characteristic of those having an inflated idea of their own importance. I’m sure that everybody thinks that this is an awful word, but reality shows us that most of the people try to love themselves and I think this is very good. So I’m going to introduce you how to love yourself with the mosaic of mosaics. You can see the final result bellow:

First select a close-up picture of your liking and open it with the image editor app. I’m going to use Gimp 2, a free open source and excellent image editor available on all main OS. You can download here http://www.gimp.org/

Now It’s important to crop the image according with a clip frame’s standard size. For example, an standard size is 50cm x 60cm, so to match this same proportions we have to calculate something called aspect ratio. Simply put the aspect ratio of any image is it’s width divided by it’s height. The aspect ratio of our standard size of 50cm x 60 cm is 50/60 = 0.83333. Now we know that the aspect ratio for standard size is 0.83333 so the aspect ratio of our image should also be 0.83333. To calculate it first we choose a dimension of the photo we want to preserve, be it the width or the height. In this case we have chosen a fixed width of 373 pixels. Then just use math to find what height is needed:

373/height = 0.83333; so…

height = 0.83333*373; and finally…

height = 448

Crop the image

You have to create four different images from the previous one, one in red, second in blue, third in yellow and fourth in green. To do this select the background with the Selection tool and fill the selection in red, blue, yellow and green. Save each image using a meaningful name, for example carolina_yellow.jpg, carolina_green.jpg, etc…

Now you have four images in four colors. Just go to http://cutemosaic.com and order your mosaics in four different types. We recommend you to order your four mosaics in 2 megapixel. Because we are going to add up all four of them we’ll reach 8 megapixel total and that is enough to print 50cm x 60cm.

When you receive your mosaics return to your image editor app, we must organize the mosaics to put them inside of the 50cm x 60cm clip frame. All of ours mosaics are 1291 x 1550 pixels. Create a new image to accommodate all of your four mosaics. This new image must have a width double of the width of one mosaic and also an height double of the height of one mosaic. So in our example the dimensions of the new image are 2582 x 3100 pixels. Now is just a matter of pasting and locating correctly every one of your four mosaics on this big image. Your creation will fit perfectly the clip frame of your choice.

What else you can do?

Privacy is a very important aspect of our lives. So I’m going to teach you how to safeguard your privacy with beauty.

Imagine your bedroom window. Imagine that the view is not pretty and people can see you when they pass. Horrible, right?Now imagine that when you look out your window you see red roses and imagine that you can see people passing you but they can’t see you. Great, right? Well, it’s real.

See the picture below. You can do the same with the image that you prefer at http://cutemosaic.com

The first thing is to know the aspect ratio at which you must to order your mosaic to fit the measures of the window. It’s easy. For example, each sheet of our window is 49 cm high by 100.34 cm wide. So what’s the aspect ratio? It’s calculated by dividing the width by the height like this:

49/100.34 = 0.4883

Once the aspect ratio of your window is known we order our mosaic using a photo of the same proportions, I mean , the result width/height must be also 0,4883. So lets say your have a photo of dimensions 3000×4000, because the aspect ratio of this photo is 3000/4000 = 0.75 it wont give a suitable mosaic. So we need to crop it a little to met our aspect ratio of 0.4883. First we choose a dimension of the photo we want to preserve, be it the width or the height. In this case we have chosen a fixed height of 2058 pixels. Then just use math to find what width is needed:

width/2058 = 0.4883; so…

width = 0.4883*2058; and finally…

width= 1005

And now we know the width and height of the photo we want to transform into a mosaic so it will fit the window exactly: 1008 pixels of width by 2058 pixels of height.

Now we take the photo you want to transform and crop the image with any photo editor to precisely the dimensions. Now you just have to order your mosaic at http://cutemosaic.com.When you receive the mosaic in your email you have to print it at any store specializing in Decorative window film. It’s easy to find one near you at any Internet search engine. Finally put your decorative film in your window and enjoy a beautiful view full of intimacy.

If you live in Spain you can order your printed mosaic at http://www.zebravinilos.com/

Is everything in the eye of the beholder?

A piece of glass has been the inspiration for the last rare and newest tool of our web. The “Shrine stained glass” mosaic doesn’t need explanation. Everyone knows that a picture is worth a thousand words. This is our new product. A glass mosaic that faithfully reproduces your photo and transforms it into a work of art with a single click.

Cutemosaic has changed. Also our appearance is now more intuitive and easier. The interface guides you quicker to what you want.

Our new tool reminds me of books like “The Pillars of the Earth” or the movie “The young Sherlock Holmes”. The film is notable for including the first fully computer-generated character, a knight composed of elements from a stained glass window. This effect was the first CG character to be scanned and painted directly onto film using a laser. But the truth is that there was no tool at the service of the public capable of transforming an image in stained glass. Until today. Cutemosaic puts now that technology at your fingertips, available to all, so you can fight too with your own knight.

Thanks for remaining faithful to our website and for sharing our enthusiasm for beauty. This is our Christmas gift to you.

Garnish your life creating unique beauty.

¿Qué le regalo?

¿Quién no se ha hecho esa pregunta alguna vez? La difícil tarea de hacer un regalo con la seguridad de que se acertará se convierte en un problema que, en ocasiones, nos sobrepasa y zanjamos con el típico bote de colonia o con las novelas de moda en ese momento.

Lo más recomendable, absolutamente siempre, es preguntar al interesado/a, pero eso es algo que normalmente no estamos dispuestos a hacer. Al menos, a mi me pasa. Y es que ¡claro! Preguntar es como decir: te voy a hacer un regalo, mira que bueno soy contigo.

Está muy bien hacer regalos. Regalar se puede convertir en una actividad divertida y en la que podemos sentirnos más felices dando que recibiendo. Podemos alegrar el día a una persona e, incluso, todos los días cuando lo que regalamos es susceptible de ser expuesto en un lugar privilegiado de la vida de esa persona. Sin embargo, muchas veces el factor tiempo, en esta sociedad que tanto se mueve, nos impide dedicar la atención que se merece el homenajeado.

Cutemosaic es un servicio web que te permite regalar una sonrisa segura. Captura ese momento especial y conviertelo en un bonito mosaico transformando el recuerdo alegre en una obra de arte.
