"Mixed-Media Mosaics" uses polymer-clay and mosaic-tile work as a new and exciting platform for mixed-media/collage artists. It helps readers learn to craft highly textural and vividly coloured icons, boxes, tables, items of personal adornment and more, using a combination of manufactured and handmade tiles. It also contains techniques for creating the tiles such as painting and glazing, stamping, embedding items like beads and buttons, mixing pigments and mica powders with clay, adding metallic leaf, creating molds, combining the handcrafted tiles with traditional mosaic tile, grout alternatives and more. In addition to learning techniques for making their own tiles, readers discover helpful processes for working inspiration (such as an homage to a loved one or a memorable getaway) into their tile-work, using personalization techniques such as stamping words or adding personal ephemera and found objects.
Mixed-Media Mosaics
| Customer Rating: | | I really liked the book. Great ideas. It was really specific, and I learned some new techniques to use with stuff that I already make. Great purchase for me. |
Worth it!
| Customer Rating:  | | I am not a mosaics type of person but I actually wanted this after I saw my mom's copy that she brought on her visit....I do recommend it! |
No cheese! No kitsch! Just good factual help.
| Customer Rating: | | I was very pleased with this book and so was my husband. Very interesting to read, lots of helpful information, and not cutesy girly stuff either. My husband took up mosaics and was really disgusted with the painfully cheap designs and projects in most of the mosaic books, much less the obscure directions. You could put this book in the category of home remodeling or fine arts, and it would stand well - the technical information was that good. We both really appreciated the format and the quality. Great pictures, too. |
Inspiring and beautiful book
| Customer Rating: | | I absolutely love this artist and her book - the photos and instructions are beautiful and clearly detailed - I am embarking on a new journey into the art of making clay tile and assemblages, and the ideas presented in this book have been fantastic - I have already started ordering supplies from the recommended vendors and am so excited about incorporating these ideas and techniques into my own creations! |
A Different Refreshing Book that Lives Up to It's Title
| Customer Rating: | | This is one of the few inspiring and how-to books I've come across in a while. Many have claims and teasers on the outside but this one actually gives the reader the complete background and foundation with which to springboard the techniques for use in the artist's work. Highly recommended! |
