After watching the latest version of "The Sound of Music" on TV, I thought it would be a good idea
to use the first four lines of the song which contain five of Maria's favorite things and items to place in the mosaic. Then I found a picture of Maria from a play and placed her and her guitar in a scene at the Mirabell Gardens park, where, in the screen version of the play, Maria sings Do, Re, Mi with the children.

Here's the first four lines of the world famous song.

"Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things"Add a description... (5 years and 2208 days ago)

Maria, mosaic

lvstealth says:

good effort! the one mosaic in her face is sorta right there... in my face, lol. as busy as it is further back a smaller tile might work for the perspective! good job though!

author says:

thanks for your excellent comment. I reduced the pattern from 120 to 100 pixels and reduced the opacity of the pattern slightly.

Maria is the name of both the heroine and her robot duplicate in the classic Fritz Lang film METROPOLIS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis_(film)
There are many versions & at least one remake. If you haven't seen any of them, please do. The film techniques were amazing for the time, even if the heavy handed social commentary isn't. In a way, it's still a message for our times, given the shrinking middle class and the growth of poverty while the rich continue to control more of the planet's wealth. (5 years and 3268 days ago)

Maria, Homage

pearlie says:

Cool movie info, author. Reminds me of one or two other early scifi films.
In this Metropolis film, was there only a single eye on the robot? (The image at wiki shows two.)

author says:

I went with the one eye because it was the first thing the egg suggested, and after trying two eyes, I went with my first idea. I didn't want to be a slave to the film image.
(And Gort, in THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, was a very cool one eyed robot!

I've heard of the film but never actually seen it, so I searched on youtube and found several clips including the full 118 minute version. This one is my favorite as is your INCREDIBLE chop!!!

Also..fantastic special effects for a film made in 1927!!!

author says:

Thank you, JCF!
(I totally agree about the awesomeness of the special effects for the time period.).

pingenvy says:

Is that a mouth on her stomach? Anyway, it's creepy and cool. Good luck!

author says:

LOL Pingenvy! Nah, that was just some stuff that was on the part I warped for her torso...I guess it was kinda distracting, so it's gone now. Thanks!
