A gallery of exceptional mosaics

Are you tired of the usual instructional, how-to book on simplistic, hobby-style mosaic art? Are you looking for a book on quality mosaic art that will captivate and inspire you? Well, this book is like visiting an art gallery totally devoted to exceptional mosaic art. It is especially good for the experienced mosaic artist as it is filled with inspirational and diverse mosaic masterpieces. If you have ever wanted a book on mosaics that passes on the instruction, but thoroughly inspires you with unbounded creativity, this is the book for you!

this is not a how to book

Finally, a contemporary book of just beautiful mosaics from around the country and some from around the world. This is an art book and an inspiration to the artist and appreciater alike. Great for the price.

An excellent rendering of mosaic designs

Shows various methods of mosaics I never thought of before, very helpful for the beginner as well the advanced mosaicist. I really enjoyed reading it.

A striking collection of inspiration.

Fantastic! Inspirational! I've been waiting for a book like this for a long time. Anyone interested in this medium and for those who think they couldn't do it - check out this masterpiece. Anything goes! Congratulations to the artists and the authors.

Made me want to quit work and be a mosaicist!!!

Breathtakingly inspirational ... it really is an artform and here it is taken very seriously. The book covers a wide range of comtemporary styles which are all unique and fascinating in their own way. A must for any budding mosaicist.
