Product Description
Product Description
This sourcebook contains eight step-by-step projects, all of which can be completed in a weekend. The look throughout is clean and contemporary, and there are ideas for inside the home as well as outdoors. Projects are accompanied by a template and colour-code and two alternative, more complex designs for the more ambitious. They include a tabletop in African style, a silver mirror frame, and a kitsch vase made from smashed crockery. A supplementary section of miscellaneous motifs allows for experimentation with different patterns and shapes, to create personal designs.

When I saw the title "sourcebook" I expected to find more content. After saying that it is an easy book to follow which is good for those who fancy a little dabble into what mosaic work can be like.

Any one with an eye for detail & a creative bone in their body will love this. Much more contempory & fun than the more 'crafty' selection of mosaic making books on the market. Whilst retaining the traditonal format of 'introduction - gallery - techniques - projects - useful addresses, etc' the projects are far from traditional in style if not in technique. This will probably appeal to the more style conscious person because the ideas in the book are more fitting in a modern setting but the principles in making decorative mosaic objects for the home are obviously traditional & well presented. The book has a 'clean' feel to it but I hope that anyone buying it will not stay clean for long as they cover themselves in glue, grout & bits of glass & ceramic (not literally, of course!) This will appeal to anyone who wants to try out a new & rewarding craft but is afraid of that word -"CRAFT" aghhh! This is so stylish you'll be staying in on Saturday night to make a mirror ! I might buy another copy to keep one clean ! Mosaic doesn't have to be folky, religious or in the swimming pool... It is THE up & coming decorative art & these boys have made it their own. Why not have a go ?
Format:Hardcover
This book is an excellent read and easy to follow, I now have beautiful artworks all round my house, I tried using other books like it but none were as good. Highly Reccomended !
