Mosaic always has an enormous decorative appeal, whether it is a shimmering ceiling, a vividly coloured wall, or a highly geometric and detailed floor. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative, rich in text and pictures, 15 Dec 1999
By Diana E. Lundin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Art of Decorative Mosaics (Art of Crafts) (Hardcover)
I first saw this book in Ravenna, Italy, the capital of mosaics where I was taking a workshop, and I passed on buying it there. But I'm glad I bought it. One of the things I like about it (Goodwin is a very good technician) is the way she has taken different mosaic material -- stone, smalti, vitreous glass, ceramic, broken china etc. and made different birds so you can see what the properties of the tesserae bring to the design. While everyone feels it's necessary to write history on mosaics, Goodwin's is particularly interesting. Even though I'm not a huge fan of all of her work, I did like this book quite a bit and I'm pleased I have it in my collection.

One of the most beautiful and inspirational books on Mosaics. I own all books published by E. Goodwin and can't wait for her to publish more. She is one of the best mosaic artists around.
