I have been searching for some time for a good instructional book on making mosaics. I found this book to be an excellent source to really get me started and keep my interest afloat with its many mosaic ideas. The introduction to mosaic art is excellent and quite detailed. I like that there are wonderful instructional photographs to follow. There are so many cool projects mentioned that I doubt I will tire of making mosaics. This book also showed me that you can make great mosaics just with things you have around the house or with things purchased from thrift stores, garage sales and flea markets, so it can be an inexpensive hobby if you want it to be. The book gave me some great gift ideas so that will help my budget. Mara Wallach is very talented mosaic artist and she conveys her instructions very well in this book. I love her unique creations and ideas. I can't wait to see what she might do in a second book!!!
This is the most creative book written about what a person can do with found objects. I love to tile, but had never thought about tiling objects before. I'm now loaded with ideas about what I want to tile next, it will actually keep me busy for the next year. The instructions are very basic, to the point and totally understandable. The pictures that go with each instruction make it easy to follow. I can't wait to get started!I highly recommend this book for everyone, not just a beginner tiler. The creativeness that exudes from Mara Wallach is amazing, and I hope a second book will follow!
I own multiple mosaic books and this is my least favorite. It says "found objects", but nearly all the projects are made of broken ceramic or china. I wanted to see mosaic with corks, keys, washers, plastic caps, minerals, etc. Nope.
This book's cover is a little dull but don't let that put you off. I have so many mosaic books but this is now one of my favourites. The Author comes across as a really warm, modest person, constantly creating and then critiquing her work as she pushes on to perfect her chosen craft. She has a wealth of experience and is happy to share it in a really accessible and self-effacing way. Her message is 'have a go and don't worry about making mistakes'.I enjoy making mosaics from bits and pieces from charity shops so this book is particularly appealing to me. She offers some really good practical hints which I haven't found in other books. I am really happy with my purchase
This book helped me to open my creative channels and start making mosaics in more new and exciting ways! While I didn't make many of the mosaics that the author presented, she provided enough possibilities that helped me to see my environment in a whole new way. A recommended read for the mosaic maker who wants to start thinking outside the box.
