Mosaics for the first time®

by Reham Aarti Jacobsen

Picture frames, stepping stones, even with no experience, you can learn to make these and other gorgeous mosaics. From the most basic information (H ow do I cut tesserae? ), to simple techniques ( How do I mosaic a picture under glass?) , and beyond, this well-illustrated question-and-answer guide leads beginners through every procedure. For each skill, there's an accompanying practice pique assiette (a base covered with randomly sized pieces) on an elegant wall hook, or perhaps the "double reverse" method (laying a design out on a temporary surface and transferring it onto its final base) to give a table a fabulous new top.

I am, of course, bias on this one because I was involved in a minor way (some of the images are simply stunning, and some of the editing is other worldly... those are my contributions ;) ).

In all seriousness, though, it is a great primer for anyone who wants to get into the art form, or even just learn some of the history of mosaic art.
