Compendium of Mosaic Techniques: Over 300 Tips, Techniques and Trade Secrets by Bonnie Fitzgerald (2012-08-02)

This is an AMAZING resource for mosaics. Especially if you are starting out or expanding to the next level. I love the format. High quality pages. Clear photographs. Helpful instructions and definitions on terminology, techniques, tools, materials. Resources/mosaic organizations (world wide) are listed in the back. Inspiration projects with pattern and finished project with explaination on different usage of shapes, color, pattern, material - these are smaller images that really inspire you to create. I am absolutely thrilled with this book. Bonnie Fitzgerald did a phenomenal job! Her ability to teach in this format and make it engaging and easy to implement is really incredible. Thankful my son gave this to me for Christmas. Such a wonderful gift and resource that I will reach for again and again.

This is a beautiful book. All supplies and instructions for doing stained glass mosaic were very clearly explained and shown. After doing ceramic mosaics, I'm starting stained glass and this book was recommended by others who are experienced in stained glass mosaics. I was not disappointed. I can't wait to sit down and thoroughly read this book. It's something I'll keep as a reference close at-hand! This is perfect as a beginner or experienced reference!

Nice book with great ideas

This book provides all you need to know to start mosaics on any type of surface, as well as insight into how to develop designs and successfully finish a project. I started some small pavers and have moved on to a larger scale project with this book. I keep it on hand as a reference.

Bought this and several others for my girlfriend that is already doing some beautiful work. She just wanted more info and between all the books I picked up for her she's filling in those blanks. I'd buy it again. She loves them all.

Great book and i do believe you can never go wrong buying books well most the time anyway. The only thing in this one lacking is specific types of glue/adhesive and i needed to know that its kinda vauge on that. Need point blank this works best for glass and everything and this does not and it never says that. But other wise its a book i will reference back to for a long time and glad i boughr it

Chock full of pictures, clear explanations, and step by step instructions. Many projects included. Good book for beginners and seasoned mosaic makers.

too much detailed writing for me and pictures were not mosiacs of my style. I returned, but for someone really wanting to learn technique and likes to read a lot, it would probably be great. I returned.

Great book lots of information especially for a newby at the hobby.

Ótimo

This is an excellent, easy to read and well set out overview of everything you need to know when starting on your mosaic hobby journey. Great basic reference book, well worth buying!

It's ok for using

Perfect!
