태극기 Mosaic

After more than a year of completely ignoring it, I have finally begun my flag-mosaic project. The Korean flag is known as taegeukgi (태극기). I started the actual pasting last Sunday evening, following the design I had previously measured and lined out. After two evenings and fours albums, this is the current status of the flag.



I finally started this project after disgusting myself with how much free time I spent doing absolutely nothing of note or production. I plan to work on this two or three times per week until it's finished. Clearly, the massive white background will take the most time to finish. I'm nearly done with the red section of the taegeuk, and one trigram is finished. The blue section of the taegeuk will be difficult to finish because of a lack of acceptable blue pieces of delivery menu. Apparently, blue is not a color often used to sell food, although red is quite abundant. It will also be difficult to finish the white section, not only because it is massive, as I mentioned above, but because it will take a long time to dig out enough acceptable white pieces, and I will probably have to cut more.

With all the time I plant to put into it, this thing better be totally awesome by the time it's done, in a month or so if I keep up this pace.
