Mosaic Artist's Bible

Mosaicists of every level will delight in this new sourcebook, featuring page after page of inspiring motifs. Arranged by theme—from animals, birds, and marine life to flowers, cultural symbols, and children's motifs—these striking designs are easy to copy and scale. A comprehensive techniques section offers step-by-step instructions on everything from choosing materials and selecting color combinations to cutting and grouting tiles, while a gallery section demonstrates how the motifs can be used to decorate ceramics, furniture, and accessories—or be works of art on their own. Written by a mosaic artist of international standing, this is a rich source of ideas for all who aspire to this ancient, enduringly beautiful art form.
