Mosaic Monday originally started out because I couldn't think of anything to post about, but I had photos aplenty. I put several of them together, and voila -- Mosaic Monday. Usually, I would choose my photos not for any special occasion or subject, but rather because they fit into a certain color theme. And that is just what I have done today. So really, I can't imagine what to say about this grouping, except that I love whites with a vintage feel. In case you are interested, the photos of the flowers, the snow and the books were all edited using the Nodding Violet Cotton Candy Photoshop actions pack. The books have a texture on them as well. The post cards are part of Sarah Gardner's papers collection.
I'm feeling the urge to start a weekly photography project with a different theme each week -- a color or a subject... Is anybody else up for something like that? If so, let me know in the comments or shoot me an email. Click on my profile to find my email address.
I hope you all have a wonderful week. It has been cold here in New Jersey, but beautifully sunny. Here's looking forward to March! I want to take a moment to thank all of you who take time out of your busy day to visit here. I hope you feel welcome at Little Red House, and please know that your visits and comments are so greatly appreciated! xoxo

That's all there is to it! It's always a good idea to then check and see if your link is working. If you have any questions, feel free to email me: mrcarroll(at)optonline
And a quick reminder: if you would like to join Mosaic Monday but don't know quite where to start, there is a tutorial on mosaic-making on my sidebar. Just scroll down, and click on the small blue mosaic.
Perfect textures! I have yet to learn how to do this.
ReplyDeleteI'm back after a long absence from MM.
Beautiful texture and effects! Very pretty shots.
ReplyDeleteWhatever you've been doing, you've been doing it very successfully because I always come in here and oooh and ahhhh over each submission. Beautiful, dreamy, vintage, and color coordinated. Simply lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh, Mary, I am sorry, I didn't type my name and I didn't see a way to delete it.
ReplyDeleteVery dreamy mosaic Mary! Love it...
ReplyDeleteIncredibly beautiful, Mary.
ReplyDeleteYour weekly project sounds good to me. It would give me the push to try something new/different each week.
Hi Mary, your photos are gorgeous. I love the soft colors. Your projects sounds like fun. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYour mosaic is lovely! I, too, love the whites and the vintage feel. Your photo reminded me that we haven't had much snow this year.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be fun to do a theme sometimes! See what we can all come up with! Love your vintage feel...beautiful mosaic! ♥
ReplyDeleteWould you let us know on Mosaic Monday what the next week would be? That would work well, I think! ♥
ReplyDeleteYes.. I think a color theme would be great. I am currently doing a 52 Color Project on my blog and am having a wonderful time creating colorful palettes. I was with you this week too.. had a hard time putting a post together then BAM! LOL.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! Vintage is so nostalgic...brings back memories! Cathy
ReplyDeleteMary, I love these images ... they are all so romantic!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the old postcards and the stack of books -- wonderful!! Thank you for sharing and for hosting.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to have a topic to concentrate on. Good idea. I always like you mosaics. I remember learning how to do them from you. Blessings

I am interested! I need to move forward! =]
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Mary....and I might be able to find some time to play along sometimes. It's difficult to keep up regularly but occasionally might work :)
ReplyDeleteYou're right Mary, they really don't have much in common except that they are each lovely on their own. I think using a theme is a wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteYep, I think it would be fun to have a weekly project. I need some inspiration! Thanks so much for hosting these mosaic mondays...they are wonderful and have introduced some wonderful photographers to me.
ReplyDeleteYour images are so pretty! Love the soft whites.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea someone else suggested - post what the next week theme will be. But what ever works best for you is good. I really appreciate your hosting this event each week and I try to participate when I can. Thanks for taking your time to host this event each week - you are appreciated.
Have a great week.

Mary love the look of this mosaic! I am interested in your photoography project idea!
ReplyDeleteI love all the textures and effects you apply to your photography, Mary. They look like works of art!
ReplyDeleteI'd be very happy to join you in a theme day if I am able. It is always fun to search fro appropriate photos among the many in my files ;)
X0,

I'm not participating this week, but wanted to stop by and see your mosaic. Your theme idea sounds like it might be rather fun.
ReplyDeleteI love this images!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week,
Markus
What a delightful collection of images you have gathered for your mosaic this week.
ReplyDeleteI would be interested in learning more about your idea for a themed photography project.
Have a wonderful week in New Jersey, Spring is just around the corner!
so beautiful and soft pics :)
ReplyDeleteI like your mosaic today especially the old books. I might be interested in your new idea. Thanks for hosting each week Mary. Blessings, Pamela
ReplyDeleteI love your weekly project idea - I take so many photos and don't always have anything to write about them other than "here, look at these".
ReplyDeleteHello, it my first time here, and I absolutely love your blog! I am in the beginning of my photography adventure, and would like to participate in one of your projects (when I learn how to do mosaics).
ReplyDeleteYou mosaic this week is lovely - and in a happy coincidence, I believe it goes with my post!
ReplyDeleteSomeday I will focus and try to learn a little more of what you do so beautifully with your photographs.
Thanks for hosting Mosaic Monday Mary. It was a great idea and I've enjoyed coming here on Mondays! I'm trying to organize and prioritize all of the weekly linky parties I share in now and it's a little overwhelming! It seems I could use a little more focus and not feel the need to do so much! No matter what more you do, I will always be here for Mosaic Monday I'm a huge fan of your blog and have been since my beginning. Which reminds me, please stop by Sall's Country Life and register for our anniversary giveaway! Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures very much. They have such a soft feel to them. Kind of mellows your mood. I would love a photo challenge. It gives me a chance to use my camera and hopefully artistic flare. Have a wonderful day,
ReplyDeleteBrenda

ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting.
Pat
Lovely books. I especially like the books. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's Monday and I'm here! Can't hardly remember a time that I have missed. So much fun. Thank you for helping me to learn to make collages.

Love the vintage today...
ReplyDeleteThe colors are so soothing!
ReplyDeleteI love the mood quality of the images in your beautiful mosaic Mary. Thank you so much for hosting Mosaic Monday. I have only been learned about this meme 3 months and I so look forward to it. I am sometimes slow to get to everyone's entry, yet make every good effort. A theme would be great. I begin thinking about my next entry sometimes a week in advance. Knowing the theme a week in advance would be great, so that we could gather our images to support it...it all works for me~
