 I've started a database on how to set out Roman mosaic patterns. This will include geometric and decorative ones formatted in the same way as the Wave pattern and the double strand guilloche on here. It will be done over 3 years and I hope to cover the most commmonly seen. When I make it available there will be a nominal payment for full access online and this will be available in about 3 months time. There have been a number of very good studies of how the the patterns were worked out in Roman mosaic floors but what sometimes looks good on paper can be a real headache to translate into a physical mosaic. What I want to develop are systems which are easily used and that will be suitable for use by anyone regardless of their mathmatical ability. The content for each pattern will be;
The last one is very important as you will see a lot of lines drawn on paper to help you see the process but when you come to actually set out the guidelines on your base for the mosaic you can eliminate a lot of these. |
