As a mosaic hobbyist I have purchased a number of books on mosaicing and find this to be one of the best. The instructions are clear and the techniques suggested quite professional. Many books use funky unprofessional techniques and materials--this one does not. I love the designs and while I would probably never copy them exactly I will use some of them as jumping off points for my own projects.
Great book for a beginner. Was looking for some ideas for yard art and have already made several.
This book contains great projects and good instruction. Helpful for a beginning mosaicist and inspiring for those more experienced in the art.
This book is a great source of inspirations and ideas that are making my Mosaic aventure a lot of fun and helping me, big time, with the projects to make my patio a unique space. I love it!!
I love that this book describes all of the material needed and shows photos of all the steps. I can't wait to start a project. I have been wanting to add some unique stepping stones to my garden for awhile now.
I was very pleased with this book - I was especially excited with the "new" 3-D items and the instructions were great!!! I would definitely buy from these authors again!
