Book review excerpts:
"The book is not a traditional 'how-to' manual, although many practical suggestions regarding materials and techniques are described. Instead, the author guides the reader through a discussion of contemporary fine art mosaics that is meant to inspire fresh perspectives on one's art-making practices." - Jean Ann Dabb, former SAMA board member and teacher of art history and mosaics at the University of Mary Washington (USA). Read the full book review here.
"[This book] seeks to get the reader to contemplate the question 'Who are you?' and to find the answer in their own mosaic art. In the process, it has become a very fine showcase for some of the best new mosaic in recent years." - Chris Blanchett, proprietor Buckland Books (UK). Read the full book review here.
What readers are saying:
"Dear Brit, I finally received the book. It's gorgeous!! It's the first mosaic book that includes techniques and supplies also the main element of mosaic - inspiration. You have placed the perfect pieces of art in the perfect chapters. You have created a book which makes me want to re-read it often for inspiration. You have given concrete ideas to those of us who don't know how to go about delving into ourselves for the real inspiration. Thank you!" - Patty, USA
"Got mine the other day, taking it really slow and absorbing each page. Been real inspired so far after maybe 8 pages? Buying pieces for a new project tomorrow following that inspiration." - Jeffz
