Sean

sean connery mosaic artworkSean Connery is probably most famous for his role as Bond… James Bond.

He starred in six Bond movies altogether, all of which featured some memorable dialogue - here’s a taster:

Honey Ryder: “Looking for shells?”
Bond: “No. I’m just looking.”

Bond: “That looks like a women’s gun.”
Largo: “Do you know a lot about guns, Mr. Bond?”
Bond: “No, but I know a little about women.”

Plenty O’ Toole: “Hi, I’m Plenty.”
Bond: “But of course you are.”
Plenty O’ Toole: “Plenty O’ Toole.”
Bond: “Named after your father perhaps.”

Domino: “So… what sharp little eyes you’ve got.”
Bond: “Wait ’til you get to my teeth.”

Example of a motifo mosaicAs do-it-yourself art becomes ever more popular, an ancient craft has been given a newfangled twist. Now you can funk up your fridge with mosaics by motifo.

The motifo pack contains colour-coded magnetic squares together with instructions on where to position the different colours. Any magnet-friendly surface can be your canvas as you construct your very own mosaic masterpiece – and at well over 1.5m high, it has serious “wow-factor”.

Six different mosaic designs are included in the pack, and with many more freely available at motifo.com, you’re bound to find something that appeals to your sense of style. And get this - every single mosaic design uses the same combination of colours in the motifo pack – so creating a new design simply involves some crafty colour switching. Very nifty!

A motifo pack makes for a refreshing gift idea, since the choice of design is left entirely up to the budding artist. Packs are currently available in two colour schemes - motifo “classic” and motifo “warm” - with more to come.

The motifo pack retails for AU$79.95. Buy online at motifo.com or at your fave designer / gift / homeware store.



Angelina

Angelina Jolie mosaic artworkAngelina Jolie - the “sexiest woman ever” - rose to fame in the late nineties, with some notable screen roles that followed on from the geek-flick “Hackers”. She won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in the film “Girl, Interrupted” in 1999, and was spring boarded into the Hollywood uber-list.

Her role as Lara Croft in two “Tomb Raider” films enforced her pin-up stature - she was the ultimate choice of many an avid video gamer as the human version of the pixelated Lara.

Just when it appeared that she had reached the peak of the super-stardom mountain, she became romantically involved with Brad Pitt, and they in turn became “Brangelina” - the highest profile Hollywood couple ever to walk this planet.

Andy

Andy Warhol mosaic portraitAndy Warhol is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of American “pop art”, which draws on themes from popular mass culture, such as comic books, advertising, and everyday objects - a Campbell’s Soup Can for example!

Some of Warhol’s more experimental works were his “oxidisation paintings”. These were paintings made with special copper paint that changed colour when it came into contact with urine. While some people marvelled over these images, they are certainly not everybody’s cup of wee tea.

Warhol also gave his pop art treatment to many celebrity portraits, including Marilyn Monroe and Che Guvara. We’re sure he would have approved of his own motifo makeover.
