Danielle L said Still my favorite (and I own at least 15). This is one of two favorite mosaic books I own. This is the best for a beginner on technique and variety and I always find myself coming back if I have a question. It's got some very helpful tips. This is more learning book, NOT a book full of specific projects. There are some projects, but they're not my style. This . A book you will refer to over and over Spiritcat I go back to this book time after time. Clearly explained and well illustrated. I have been creating mosaics for 7 years after being a painter for 40. I review the articles in this book for information and inspiration to get going on the next project. Loaded with information.. A staple! This book has been invaluable to me as I begin my mosaic practices. Simple, extensive instructions, helpful visuals, and essential technique overviews. A must-have no matter what your skill level! So much inspiration to be found here.
