From bold lettering to 4,096 pieces: our “Oh la la!” mosaic

A closer look at the mosaic, its colors, and one baseplate from the build guide.

We’re starting with one of our own projects: “Oh la la!”

Bold lettering, a blue background, and a mosaic built from 4,096 pieces. The design uses a 64 × 64-stud format, arranged across four 32 × 32 baseplates.

Here are three selected pages from its build guide: the finished-mosaic reference, the color legend, and the grid for the first baseplate.

1. The mosaic preview

This digital reference shows the planned result: cream-colored lettering becomes white pieces, while blue, coral, yellow and black keep the design’s bold contrast.

Build guide, page 7 — a digital reference for the planned mosaic.

2. The color legend

Six numbered colors connect the picture to the pieces. The legend includes the quantities and the split between Basic pieces and Tiles.

Build guide, page 2 — colors, piece types and quantities.

3. One baseplate, one manageable section

The numbered grid shows placement for the first 32 × 32 baseplate. Its small position map indicates where that section belongs within the whole mosaic.

What catches your eye first: the lettering, the colors, or the texture?
