About Beginner's Guide To Making Mosaics: 16 Easy-to-Make
Review As a crafter who is relatively new to mosaics, Delphine Lescuyer's book is the perfect place to start! With easy-to-follow, step-by-step photos, you'll learn everything you need to know about the materials, tools, and techniques involved with beginner mosaics and finish the book feeling inspired and prepared to take on new projects!--Rachel Smith "The Crafted Life" Originally published in France, Lescuyer's beginner's how-to reference for mosaics displays a decidedly Gallic bent. Her 16 designs take cues from the simple aesthetics of her compatriots, like mosaicists Raymond Isidore and Isidore Odorico, while emphasizing color-saturated patterns. The projects are streamlined and were created to take advantage of the material's best qualities. A squarish mirror, for instance, is centered in a design of large and small dots arranged in colored grout. Well-orchestrated color photographs zero in on the exact steps that need more visuals, while accompanying texts fill in the details. Side boxes provide tips and techniques that further support novices, such as rotating the platform to work around a pot being festooned, and knowing that sanded grout is easier than unsanded grout to clean with a sponge. An amazingly clear translation ensures no gaps in knowledge on either side of the Atlantic.-- "Booklist" Product Description Transform items in your home into beautiful works of art! 16 projects for applying mosaic art to everything from walls to flower pots Step-by-step instructions and photography, supply lists, and helpful tips Beginner-friendly introductory guide to mosaic art for the home and garden provides all the knowledge you need to get started Learn how to add mosaic tiles to windowsills, flowerpots, picture frames, trays, tables, and more, and create mosaic masterpieces perfect for any space Eye-catching and a lot of fun to do, mosaics will help you transform almost any space into a stunning work of art!
