## Description

300+ Mosaic Tips, Techniques, Templates and Trade Secrets [Fitzgerald, Bonnie] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. 300+ Mosaic Tips, Techniques, Templates and Trade Secrets

Review: A must-have book! - This publication covers it all! It explores the many different materials and techniques involved in mosaic-making. Every aspect is explained in detail, whether it is substrate, glues, mastics, grouts, glass, ceramic, shells, tesserae of all kinds, cutting, etc., etc. It discusses color theory, as well as composition and many other designing techniques, plus provides sources of inspiration and creative process. Each page is loaded with illustrations and pictures, and projects are very clearly and simply laid out. All the sections are easy to access for reference. This is one publication that every mosaicist should own. What else can I say? I love it and highly recommend it.
Review: Like having a personal mosaic mentor on speed dial! - This book is an essential guide to any mosaic enthusiast, of all experience levels. The author organizes the book by topic for quick and easy reference, but beginners will especially benefit from reading the book from start to finish, as it provides an excellent tutorial and discusses all the important considerations in creating your own unique work of mosaic art - from setting up a comfortable working environment, to cutting techniques, and ideas to expand your creative vision and find inspiration. I especially love the "jargon-busters" which explain common definitions or methods you will hear often in the mosaic world, but may be afraid to ask what they mean exactly... (I've been there!) The author is very generous in sharing her lessons learned and "trade secrets" in the valuable "try it" and "fix it" boxes throughout the book. It really is like having a master mosaicist, with all her insightful advice and instruction, at your finger tips! Although the book is primarily a technical guide, it also showcases how much FUN it is to do mosaics, and it's beautiful pages will inspire you and ignite your creativity!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good book, but there is at least one better one
*by B***S on February 7, 2014*

For the most part, this book covers all the basics a beginner through advanced mosaic artist would need to know...leaning a bit more to the beginner. However, it falls short in some areas. Grouting seemed to be skimmed over, with no good explanation of when to use sanded vs. unsanded grout, etc. I do like the book's charts on substrates, adhesives and tesseraae, though there is an error (or a very confusing contradiction) on the tesserae chart...some typos throughout the book as well. The templates seem mostly for elements that you might want to include in a piece, which is fine. The templates are attractive and of a style that would intermix nicely (though you would need to do a lot of work scanning/resizing etc.) The book is very well illustrated, but does NOT include scads of inspirational pictures of others' work. If you were going to do a very complicated installation or comples project, you do well to not rely solely on this book. I purchased this book at the same time I purchased Mosic Techniques and Traditions and found that to be a more detailed and comprehensive book (for a bit less $ no less). However, having both books to compare opinions and instructions is worthwhile.
