Mosaics in Gaudi style

[Romajo]

Last november I've been to Barcelona (first time in Spain).
Of course we visited the Sagrada Família and Park Güell, 2 of the masterpieces by Antoni Gaudi. We also saw Casa Batllo and Casa Mila, but only from the outside.
Anyway, Gaudi is most famous for the mosaics he created and for the playing with the light.

To scrap all of these I'm looking for kits with those vibrant colors (think green, blue, red, yellow, orange) and mosaics (papers).
Here are a few of the photos as an inspiration, 2 from the inside of the Sagrada Família (look at the lighting and the windows) and 2 of the most famous parts of Park Güell (the mosaics).





Also, if you have any other suggestion about Spain, I am open to those as well.
I do have the Around The World: Spain (by Amanda & Wendy) already, so other suggestion are welcome too.
We did visit a few other churches and historic parts of the city, but I already do own Captivating Catherdrals (by Erica) and Wander: Historic (by Willemijne).

Thanks for your help!

Lol you pretty much listed all my ideas at the end there- so sorry I'm no help- but WOW what a cool place & gorgeous photos!

I'm yet to scrap my Sagrada Familia pics too. I have so many photos I just know I'll be doing multiple pages. Haven't picked out a kit yet, so will keep an eye on this thread for ideas.

We went inside Casa Batllo. It was OK, but not quite what we expected. Definitely some great architecture, but all the rooms were empty, so you were really just looking at the building itself. Kids got bored early on. The rooftop was nice though.

Sorry... but thanks for answering.
And can you believe I only took photos with my Samsung cellphone?

Yes, Sagrada Família is really photogenic, we took around 260 pics with the 2 of us (including the museum). It was also a spiritual and emotional experience for me.
We saw Casa Batllo from the outside (and went inside to the shop and that big chair). Reading this I'm glad we didn't spend our money on a visit, it is what I thought from watching some films on YouTube.

Sagrada Familia is one of the most beautiful interiors on earth. It was breathtaking and I'll never forget it!

GORGEOUS!

I can see why you asked the question...as I am not finding anything in Shoppe quickly.

I do like the plaids in Wendy's collections-


I think you are going to have to mix a bunch of kits which is not my strong point but I think looks cool when other people do it.

Cheryl has a new template coming out this weekend that is perfect for Stained Glass or Mosaic photos.

I had to use a combination of kits to get all the colours and flowers I needed, but I'm happy with how it turned out. I'll add bigger photos on other pages.

I also have Art Deco Delights that might work as well? Although I think the templates coming tomorrow night are a better match.

Had been looking at these templates when they released, but didn't fit my vision nor feeling I want for my layouts.
Can't wait to check the new templates out, hope they are more of a fit.

Okay, I think I know what I'm looking for... a kit with white/cream backgrounds and colors like green, red, blue, orange and yellow, papers in mosaic style (I know there are template with triangles in different variations) and solids/cardboards in those colors as well.
The theme doesn't have to be Spanish or churches or mosaics and elements might be pretty generic (like flowers, ribbons, strings, frames, foliage, fasteners, etc). I almost have the feeling I have to get back to designing and create this myself...

These templates are a perfect start to different layouts in mosaic style. Thanks designers!




Now I'm still looking for (a) kit(s) with these colors and mosaic style papers.

Liv's Studio Essential papers are great for stained glass window pics, but I agree, a full kit would be great. I had to search through multiple other kits to find the greenery and flowers that worked with the papers.
