This is perfect for quick technique. It has practical design that can be imitated or exaggerated into fine art. Letters and numbers are made creatively. Plenty of ideas that will be a great help. Mine is full of sticky notes!

It's eye candy! Wonderful layout! The book starts out with a brief introduction by the author and an explanation of how to use this terrific little book, (6.75" X 8") though 249 pages of cover-to-cover inspiration is no little thing. The next section entitled "Inspirations" is a gallery of original works by various mosaic artists, followed by Materials and Tools, then techniques (which covers color selection, design and application.) Finally, 190 pages of patterns! What I like best about the page layout in the pattern section is that each pattern (shown as a scale drawing) includes a PHOTOGRAPH of an actual mosaic, rather than just a colored line drawing. In addition, along with the scale drawing and photo are a suggested color palette, a key indicating level of difficulty, plus lots of notes offering ideas for combinations and directions for working the design (such as starting points and direction.) The patterns range from very simple to involved. There's a section dealing with the alphabet and numbers that shows one style letter, upper and lower case, but each letter is done in a different tiled design. This book is worth every penny. If I had to offer a negative, I would say that it, like too many of the mosaic books, doesn't go into outdoor application deep enough. I would really like to find a book that addresses that issue thoroughly. But then, this is primarily a pattern book.
