From an abstract wall panel to a sumptuous table top, each of these 16 projects—from Austria, Belgium, Morocco, ancient Rome, and beyond—clearly demonstrates how a design is developed, from the initial idea to the finished product. Praising the satisfaction to be found in mosaic work, with its simple techniques and stunning results, the chapters introduce materials and patterns—and explain how the process of application is an integral part of the design, whether using recycled china, glass, Venetian smalti, marble, slate, stones, pebbles, shells, or mirror.

From an abstract wall panel to a sumptuous table top, each of these 16 projects—from Austria, Belgium, Morocco, ancient Rome, and beyond—clearly demonstrates how a design is developed, from the initial idea to the finished product. Praising the satisfaction to be found in mosaic work, with its simple techniques and stunning results, the chapters introduce materials and patterns—and explain how the process of application is an integral part of the design, whether using recycled china, glass, Venetian smalti, marble, slate, stones, pebbles, shells, or mirror. Each project offers room for individuality and may serve as a springboard for other designs, so that both novices and experienced mosaicists can find inspiration.

Contemporary artists share the most up-to-date design trends in mosaics, and explain to crafters of every level exactly how they can achieve great results, too. Twelve original projects, carefully broken down and shown in generously sized close-up photographs, offer beautiful items for indoors and out, for practical use and decorative touches. Beginners can start simply with a square number plate to place on the outside of a house, and craft their way through the pretty floral paving stone, mirror frame, dragon pot, tabletop, foyer footprint, terracotta dish, and garden mural of birds at a fountain. In addition to an overview of all the basic techniques, an eye-opening gallery showcases a series of lovely and diverse pieces.
