Customer Reviews

Overall not inspirational but some good tips
I agree with the other reviewer, this book certainly didn't showcase "wild" mosaics. There are good basic tips on how to do mosaics but the actual projects are just so so....nothing exciting. I really can't recommend this book,the author seems like a nice person but this book isn't a must have by any means,

I think the title is a bit misleading.......
This is just another "beginner" book - though a bit above average for that category. From the title, I was expecting maybe at least one unique idea for inspiration, so that was a disappointment.

Unique Beginner Book
I am new to the art of mosaics and found this book creative and interesting. It is definitely a beginner book but I believe it should be purchased with a basic technique book like The Practical Guide To Crafting With Mosaics by Simona Hill. I hope to replicate some of the projects and use the author's other ideas as a springboard to create my own designs. I found the Majestic Roses mirror project to be simply beautiful as well as the You Are My Sunshine picture frame. I can understand why more experienced crafters might not have liked the ideas in this book, I'm sure they have created many similiar projects; but I think there are some wonderful ideas for beginners.
