This book will make you sign up for a mosaics class March 29, 2006
10 out of 10 found this review helpful

IF you don't already mosaic, this book will have you searching for a local class. Or hitting the local recycling depot looking for old china or tiles.
I don't yet mosaic but picked it up at the library during an idle moment and just couldn't put it down.
I have always loved Fassett's sense and use of colour, and this book does not disappoint. It certainly will give you lots of ideas and you will probably find yourself daydreaming about mosaic renovations to your house. This book is a visual delight and the instructions seem easy to follow.

Color My World with Shards September 30, 2004
41 out of 41 found this review helpful

This is the one book I go to - I create mosaics everyday. This is the one and only mosaic book I tell people to buy because it is great for inspiration. Creating mosaic work is much more then simply bashing plates and tiles and gluing them on flat surfaces. I believe the even the beginner "I don't know nothin about art" will learn from this book. But this book is not just for the beginner. Even the most advanced mosaic artist will love this book - if they don't already have it.

Fire Up Your Imagination! February 7, 2004
20 out of 20 found this review helpful

If you think that beautiful mosaics can only be done with china and tile, you haven't seen this book yet! If you're tired of the sweet, pink rose mosaics, then this is the book for you!

The mosaics in this book are done in a delicious tapestry of jewel tones, often highlighted by found objects. The dazzling images in this book will have you looking around your house with a new eye and your hammer.

I purchased this because I have a killer knitting book by Kaffe and I wasn't disappointed! This is visual yumminess!

5 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS BOOK! April 3, 2003

This book is a wonderful inspiration. I want all my surfaces and objects to be soooooo...vibrant with color. I have many mosaic books but this is the one I reach for when I am stuck for color or interesting ways of combining tessare to objects. I love it! It has lead me to explore all of Kaffe Fassett's books, he is genius with color. No other textile or mosaic artist has made me soar with inspiration!
