A fun afternoon with Flickr
If you're normal, this should really only take you ten minutes or so.
It's a great idea I learned about through Paolaccio, who got it from Michelle at Bleeding Espresso.
It's a way to make a pretty representative mosaic using bits of your life and personality. Here's how, if you want your own:
a. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
b. Using only the first page, pick an image.
c. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into fd’s mosaic maker.
1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favorite food?
3. What high school did you go to?
4. What is your favorite color?
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
6. Favorite drink?
7. Dream vacation?
8. Favorite dessert?
9. What you want to be when you grow up?
10. What do you love most in life?
11. One Word to describe you.
12. Your flickr name.
Thanks to the original photographers for the use of their artwork in tiny, tiny form! Here are links to each of their pictures in their original state. I'm amazed and thrilled at the photographers I discovered while putting this together!
1. Rachels, Rachels, everywhere, 2. Steamed shrimp and rabbit dumplings, 3. Morgan Park Academy, 2153 W 111th St, 4. Seafoam, 5. Prince Charming?, 6. Glitter / Brillo, 7. Saltiness, 8. limoncello, 9. Why should everything be made to look like insane escapades?, 10. olam haba, 11. Ducks in the Mail: At the Post Office, 12. Old Texas Wisdom

These are just too fun. Those little ducks came up for me too, but I'm *really* loving that frog!
I think I'll have to do these just for my own personal benefit from time to time...because I need another excuse to flip through Flickr.

Thanks, auntie! Can't wait to see your mosaic ! I'm thinking about making Mr. Man do one over the weekend...
Sognatrice, I LOVE this idea! Your bookstore with the bicycle came up for me twice. This was so much fun!
