Very Inspiring January 7, 2009
I have yet to create a mosaic project but if I ever get around to it, this book will serve as my inspiration. The projects illustrated are beautiful, better than crafty, IMO, and gets your imagination going. I kept taking it out of the library every time I thought I might do a project with one of my many garage sale finds. Finally, I thought it was a book worth owning. So I bought it. Some day...

Beyond the Basics: Mosaics February 9, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Nice book for those of us who love to do mosaics. Sometimes I need just a little more help being creative. The projects are ones that you have been looking for the instructions for. The book has great photographs and lots of ideas on where to get your treasures to mosaic. I really look for classy things and different things to embelish with mosaics and this book gets to the meat of what you need to accomplish your project. Sometimes I have the ideas but I'm not quite sure what it will really look like before I start. This book gets you ready to enjoy the projects that you make. It also helps you to personalize that project you created to be a fine gift your friends and family will treasure.

Good book for the experienced mosaicist January 11, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful

This book is very inspirational for those who have already done mosaics. It focuses more on the use of plates and seashells rather than stained glass and mosaic tiles. I really appreciated the author's informative text and pictures. I have read many of the mosaics books Amazon offers, and I keep coming back to this one for inspiration.
Half of the book is dedicated to generous use of seashells, so those of us in land-locked states may not be able to play along.

More than 30 eye-catching mosaic projects July 4, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

Beyond The Basics Mosaics presents more than 30 eye-catching mosaic projects best suited for intermediate-level crafters, but also accessible to beginners. From picassiete (break up old china and create motifs to add beauty to tables, walls, kitchen counters and more) to shard art (a free-form style that can incorporate almost anything into images) to shellwork (a distinct skill that can add splendor to box lids, picture frames and more), Beyond The Basics Mosaics describes techniques with explicit instructions, full-color photographs, tips on coloration, design and array, and much more. An excellent resource for crafting beautiful and memorable treasures, whether to decorate one's home or present as gifts.

Wonderful! November 7, 2004

I love this book! It contains many gorgeous pique assiette (recycled broken china) projects, as well as some using seashells. Best of all, the projects are beautiful but not overwhelming (i.e., a beginner should be able to master them), and they shouldn't take anywhere near as much time or money as most projects would, yet you'd be proud to give or display them.
