Summary: The best of the current crop of mosaic books!
Comment: Kaffe Fasset always lends a wild, whimsical, almost overpoweringly colorful touch to whatever craft he turns his mighty skills to, and this book is no exception. I have recently purchased 3 other books on making mosaic designs (both how-to and inspiration), and this is by far the best.
The content of the step-by-step instructions is adequate; it contains the necessary information on materials and how-to, and covers the territory at least as well as any I've seen. Where this book absolutely dazzles, though, is in its visual inspiration. Fasset and his co-author for this book, Candace Bahouth, will blow your senses with their incredibly colorful designs, as well as the examples of historic mosaicwork of note; you will come away from this book certain that you too can create brightly wild flights of fancy with a few broken bits of crockery and some cement adhesive. And in fact, maybe you can! I warn you, though, fantastic design and color sense doesn't necessarily fall into your lap as effortlessly at it seems. If not, it won't be due to any lack on the part of this book to spark your ideas!
This is a book to come back to again and again; in fact, it's altogether too much to take in all at once! I find myself having to get up in the middle of the night to look at it yet again, as I lie awake picturing all the splendid things I could make...if only I could find such colorful bits of broken china and sparkling glass...

Summary: The Most Inspirational of All Mosaic Books
Comment: Kaffe Fassett and Candace Bahouth put together the most beautifully photographed and well written book on the wonderful art of Mosaics. If I could only keep one mosaic book - this would be the one. The artists give you their own perspective on how they came up with materials and color ideas for each project in the book. Projects range from wall murals to an incredible mosaic chair that looks like a tapestry, to a shabby chic faux pearl lamp, to an entire patio with the boldest colors. You'll want to make friends with every high-end tile setter in town and you'll never look at a piece of broken pottery or china the same way again.

Summary: Fire Up Your Imagination!
Comment: If you think that beautiful mosaics can only be done with china and tile, you haven't seen this book yet! If you're tired of the sweet, pink rose mosaics, then this is the book for you!
The mosaics in this book are done in a delicious tapestry of jewel tones, often highlighted by found objects. The dazzling images in this book will have you looking around your house with a new eye and your hammer.
I purchased this because I have a killer knitting book by Kaffe and I wasn't disappointed! This is visual yumminess!
