Oh, and since "emerald" can be hard to pin down and Kona Emerald is pretty different from the Kona Fern I pointed out, I've also allowed for different interpretations of the color "emerald." Trying to be fair!
Enjoy perusing these lovely mosaics! I've presented them first at large size to help you find your very most favorite one, with the name of the artist under each mosaic. Voting is below with smaller images for reference. Vote now through midnight (eastern U.S. time) on Friday the 18th. The two winning mosaics with the most votes will be announced on Saturday.
Good Luck Everyone!

Gorgeous mosaics! My fingers are crossed for knottygnome!
ReplyDeleteThanks for choosing my mosaic as a finalist! there are so many pretty ones.
ReplyDeleteHad to be tough to narrow it down to 10 finalists. Good luck everyone!
ReplyDeletewhat gorgeous combinations ... it wasn't easy to pick just one
ReplyDeleteWow, this was hard! Good luck to all!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that this years color kinda left me "Meh". Seeing these mosaics make me think twice. Y'all did a great job in choosing great combos!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and good luck to each of the finalists.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous choices. I love seeing what fabrics people put together!
ReplyDeleteSo excited to have made the semi-finals! There are some awesome combos.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for including my mosaic in the final 10 Rachel! Lots and lots of prettiness in this group!
ReplyDeleteFun fabric choices.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck everyone... thanks for including me in the top 10.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the ADD crafter! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWow, thank you Rachel for picking my mosaic as one of the finalists, there were so many lovely ones it must have been really tricky narrowing it down to just 10. Good luck everyone! Sarah x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors & fabrics everyone. Was so hard to decide on just 2.

ReplyDeleteIt´s so interesting. It´s well known that people see color differently. Some of the -very inspiring- mosaics don´t even have the color that I would call emerald in them. Personally I like teal better than emerald anyhow. But since the challenge said "emerald" I chose two with the color that I see as emerald. ;-)
DeleteI love the color green and wear it a lot, but not a big fan of emerald green (unless it's the stone variety). I did vote for the one I thought the best. Don't think I'll be doing anything in emerald unless someone asks for it specially.
ReplyDeleteI voed on knotty gnome, simple tiny prints, beautiful.
