Backyard Mosaics

This is a great book for the beginner, as well as experienced mosaic artists. Lots of projects with good explanations, and lots of beautiful photos. I highly recommend this book for any mosaic artist.

Fun projects, impressive results.

While it is nice to see the completed projects with full plans, the most important thing we took away from this book is technique. We feel we can pretty much mosaic anything that comes across our path now! As a result, we looked at a particularly ugly cement slab that was under an outside faucet and saw an opportunity. We mosaiced it (that's mom and her 7 year old) and it is now a focal point instead of a eye sore.If you're just getting started this is a great way to go. It worked with us!

Let your creativity soar in the garden!

This book is an excellent sequel to Ms. Sheerin's first offering, Mosaics In an Afternoon. If you haven't had the opportunity to peruse either book, you are missing out on the chance of a lifetime to add pizazz to your home!Most of the projects offered in this book would make excellent gifts, art pieces for sale, or decorations to grace your own home. Not only will you find the complete instructions for each project, you'll find informative lessons on how to be a mosaic designer yourself! Highly recommended book!
