Synopsis
Mosaic is a decorative art with a varied history dating back to the 3rd century BC. An increasingly popular form of decoration, its versatility means it can be used to decorate both large and small areas inside and out. This book looks back at the historical beginnings, and goes on to show how complete beginners can learn to transform items such as tables, picture frames and tiles. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of mosaic design and technique, showing how to achieve movement, tone and texture in a mosaic design. These are illustrated by 24 unique projects featuring birds, fish, animals, figures and fruit. The basic techniques of mosaic are fully explained and illustrated, and ideas are given for different mosaic applications, including showers, splashbacks, floors and walls. Templates are included for each design, enabling readers to pick designs to execute their chosen application. Chapter by chapter, it builds into a complete course on designing and creating mosaics. So whether you want to decorate a mirror frame or go on to design a mosaic to decorate the entire length of your hallway, this book will form an invaluable and inspirational guide.
