I agree with the other reviewer, this book certainly didn't showcase "wild" mosaics. There are good basic tips on how to do mosaics but the actual projects are just so so....nothing exciting. I really can't recommend this book,the author seems like a nice person but this book isn't a must have by any means,
I am new to the art of mosaics and found this book creative and interesting. It is definitely a beginner book but I believe it should be purchased with a basic technique book like The Practical Guide To Crafting With Mosaics by Simona Hill. I hope to replicate some of the projects and use the author's other ideas as a springboard to create my own designs. I found the Majestic Roses mirror project to be simply beautiful as well as the You Are My Sunshine picture frame. I can understand why more experienced crafters might not have liked the ideas in this book, I'm sure they have created many similiar projects; but I think there are some wonderful ideas for beginners.
This is just another "beginner" book - though a bit above average for that category. From the title, I was expecting maybe at least one unique idea for inspiration, so that was a disappointment.
I LOVE this book!!! I have so much fun making the projects in this book, it I filled with full mosaic ideas that are contemporary and out of the normal broken china and tile mosaic book. This is one of the best books in my library. This author also wrote another book like this and that is my next favorite book. If you like making mosaics that are unique and out-of-the box I high recommend this fun book.
