Outdoor Mosaic: Original Weather Proof Designs.......2006-03-10
This book had a great chapter on technical information and weather proofing outdoor mosaics. Was extremely helpful in determining which products I should be using on my own water feature and protecting it. Well worth the effort and time to have it sent to Australia for this chapter alone.
Not really a how-to book.......2004-07-29
The book is mainly devoted to showing various projects made by the authors. Very nice and inspiring, as they do wonderful work, but if you are looking for in-depth instructions or practical knowledge, this is not the book. Try Encyclopedia of Mosaic Techniques by the same authors, instead.
Pretty Pictures, But Not Enough Technical Information.......2004-04-05
I purchased this book specifically for technical information on creating outdoor mosaics. I was particularly interested in recommendations for grouting, adhesives, materials, etc. The majority of the book is taken up with lovely pictures and projects, but the technical portion is given the short shift at the end of the book. I'd recommend other books if you are just starting out and are looking for good, detailed information.
Mosaic Workshop Rules.......2002-11-11
Brilliant book written by two of the most experienced mosaicists in the UK. I was so impressed, I attended a Mosaic Workshop course in London in October 2002 which was taught by Emma Biggs. I am now using this book as a reference for the techniques demonstrated on that course, and I thoroughly recommend it. It contains some very specific technical advice regarding weatherproofing. The advice is based on years of experience, so the techniques are eseential to follow to ensure longevity of the mosaic works. I was a total beginner last month, but feel competent and full of confidence with outdoor mosaic now. I certainly recommend this book for inspiration and reference for those who have done a bit of mosaic work.
This is a keeper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2001-12-21
This is a fabulous book! I have been a creating outdoor mosaics for over 15 years, and I have finally found a book that gets it correct! They have great step by step instructions, and suppliers listed as well as fabulous pictures! Five Stars!!!
Book Description
This glorious book reveals the exquisite simplicity of decorating and designing with mosaics. As it delves into the history of the art, it draws on sources from Ancient Greece and Rome, the Renaissance, Pre-Columbian Mexico, the Victorian age, the Art Nouveau movement, through to the latest contemporary work. Enhanced with hundreds of color photos, Classic Mosaic explores the application of mosaics using classical influences. The versatility and decorative potential of mosaics is then interpreted in a dazzling array of historically-inspired projects. In chapters on materials, equipment, and techniques, Classic Mosaic explains how the process of application is an integral part of the design, whether using ceramic, Venetian glass smalti, gold, marble, stones, shells, or mirror. Elaine Goodwin, a respected mosaic artist, clearly demonstrates how a design is developed, from the initial idea to the finished piece. From intricate Grecian floor patterns to a shimmering Klimt chair mosaic, Classic Mosaic shows how to create splendid designs inspired by 6,000 years of mosaic art.

Almost great but flawed.......2007-08-28
This is a book in search of an audience. It starts with some interesting text regarding the history of mosaics as well as introducing the fundamentals of creating them yourself. It then presents a series of projects completed by the author. The projects are mostly top notch and provide a window into the techniques used by this talented artist.
But that is as far as it goes. In the interest of protecting her art the author goes to great lengths to make certain that her projects are difficult to replicate. No where in this book will you find any patterns of original or classical motifs. Pictures containing these elements are intentionally distorted in order to make them impossible to replicate. In some cases (including the cover piece!) pictures of the completed artwork are actually omitted (presumably because they would be easy to copy).
I actually agree with the idea that budding mosaicists should work from their own original ideas and this book is certainly recommended with those constraints in mind, but it could have been alot more. Even some simple classical designs for reproduction would have made this work much much better. Instead the desire of the artist to preserve her "eliteness" gets in the way.
A Grand Mosaic Book.......2006-06-08
I bought this book for the historical effects. After reading during the past week, it has turned out to be one of the best mosaic books I own. The photography is breathtaking. Since buying a stack of mosaic books at an estate sale, I have always been a huge Emma Biggs follower. However, this author is amazing and shows how to use fragments of the materials to create fabulous pieces of art. I'm an instant fan and re-energized.
In my opinion, this is not a book for a beginner. I believe it is short on the necessary basics. But it is strong in displaying many step-by-step photographs to make the 16 projects from start to finish understandable for the experienced. A beginner artist should store the book away for immediate inspiration when the time is right.
Peace.
Five stars for illustrations and projects; not "how-to" book.......2005-05-27
The photos are breathtaking, full of inspiration for anyone interested in any kind of craft in which pieces are assembled, whether mosaics or quilting or large-scale projects like creating brick patterns in a patio. Aside from books I have about classical art, no other source seems close to providing the rich visuals.
This is certainly not a book to instruct beginners, in my opinion. The "how-to" information is cursory. For instance, a scant half page (and I do mean "scant") describes grouting. Projects, too, are probably beyond a beginner's ability. But the projects are, admittedly, really worth doing, not the kindergarten-looking bits featured in some books. There is a bit of information on cutting: only a bit. Comments along the lines of "with experience, you'll be able to master this technique" suggest to me that this author is more comfortable showing than describing technical aspects.
But what a grand showing this book provides. Many of the color photos are large enough to lend themselves to study in detail and there are a few sequences that show projects in process. Although the book will not provide in depth, specific information and instructions to beginners, anyone interested in mosaic will profit by studying the exquisite photos. The author shows some of this art's beauty that has allowed it to speak from antiquity far into the future. Drink in the colors, patterns, and forms -- and be seduced by the possibilities.
Best Mosaic book I have.......2002-06-19
This book is beautiful. Though, I definitely do not recommend this for beginners or for someone who wants step by step instructions. This book shows her taking some inspiration from ancient mosaics and then altering them for her own use. I have also done the same E.g. the front cover shows the leaves and lizards. I do a lot of paving stones. I simply just did two of the black leaves onto a white background onto a paving stone. Very simple, but gosh it looks great.
This book is more for inspiration only rather than a teaching book for beginners. I still highly recommend it though.
Glosses over basics.......2002-02-03
I have to disagree with those reviewers who have already weighed in on this book. Perhaps they are already experienced in making mosaics. As someone who has not done mosaics before, I was hoping for a little more discussion of the basics. For example, there is a list (and even photographs of) tools to use to cut tile, but not really any discussion on how to do it. Also, the history lesson on mosaics is somewhat brief, with not very many photographs of ancient mosaics.
Book Description
"Of greatest use to beginners here is the description and step-by-step illustrations of four different assembly processes...The dozen projects will introduce first-time mosaicists to the art without...frustration: designed by professionals, each includes elaborate instructions, pattern (if appropriate), color photographs, and artists' tips..."--Booklist. "You'll never look at a shard of glass in the same way again."--Glass Craftsman. 128 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 10.

One of the good ones that is worth buying........2006-06-23
A winner in all ways. This book is for the people who have done the little crafty bits and have not lost interest in favor of a new hobby of the month. It is for those who love the texture and reflectivity of this artform's materials and want to find out more.
The introduction and history section compares well to some of the better books. There is not that much but it is a respectable amount for a book that deals with technique and design.
Every book also has a tools and materials section and this one provides sufficient information for you to proceed without worrying if you are using the right adhesives or the right backing for your work. There is not much that one needs to add. This knowledge will provide a good foundation to build on. Explanations are clear and items pictured clearly.
The more common techniques are covered from beginning to end with, in one case, 17 small pointed images showing you exactly how. There is also a section on sculptural forms which shows you how to mosaic onto things that are not flat. Many other artists' work is also beautifuly presented in this book showing the different applications for the techniques that are covered in that section of the book. Very inspiring! It makes you want to get up and get going!
And when you do get going, there are 12 projects complete with templates and very concise intructions. They are all unique and there is something for everyone.
The contributing artists section would be more useful if there email addresses or web sites. The glossery also contains all of 7 items and the index is only 2 columns on a half a page. This could have been more complete.
This is a very good book for instruction, inspiration and beautiful pictures. An artist of any level would be happy with this purchase. 10 out of 10.
Excellent overall source.......2002-07-07
I bought 5 mosaic books while learning the technique and this is my favorite. Of the books I have read, this has the most comprehensive guide to the actual process of making a mosaic. There is an extensive section of tools, as well as the best explanation of the direct and especially indirect method that I have seen. Pictures are plentiful too for every step and offer some fabulous examples of what is possible with the art.
Very well done!
Unique projects.......2002-04-05
So far, every mosaic book I have collected has something to offer. This one has a few notable characteristics. The section on tools and equipment is more complete and detailed than other mosaic books I have seen. Beginning mosaic books usually suggest some kind of spatula, a tile nipper, and glass cutter. Quite a few other tools are suggested and described here, as well as what they are for. Although I feel daunted about buying and using so many different tools, it is helpful to know what I can look for if a particular project requires something different.
The projects are fairly simple, but unique. For example, there is a lamp base covered with broken plates and cups, including the cup handles which protrude from the lamp! There is an irregular-shaped plaque, formed by pouring concrete into a polystyrene foam that you design, and then covered with an ancient Roman-simulated design. There is a mirror frame which is jig-sawed into an interesting shape, and this project alone is for me worth the price of the book.
There are projects with very clear instructions for using both the direct and indirect method of applying tesserae.
What I particularly like is that the instructions include how to finish the projects, such as how to put the back on the mirror, what hardware to use, and how to apply it. The other mosaic books I have seen so far only tell how to make the mosaic part, and leave the finishing steps up to you.
Finally, there are many photos of incredible projects (such as an entire facade of a house) made by professional mosaicists, which the beginner would not attempt, but from which beginners and experienced alike can find inspiration.
Inspiring and easy to understand with delightful photos.......2000-12-28
This has been the single most inspiring book I've read on mosaic. The instructions are not only clear in their description, but there are photos in the different stages of progress for those of us who are "show me" people. The many photos throughout the book are fabulous and offer a wide variety of ideas and techniques for creating. There are helpful artist's tips included throughout the book too, as well as tools and materials listed for each project.
A great resource for the mosaic artist........1998-07-12
Has all the basics, plus more. Great photos.
Book Description
Brilliant Stained Glass Mosaics combines two popular crafts into one exciting new art form. While most traditional opaque mosaics can be attractive and fun, they lack the creativity and excitement provided by the addition of stained glass. Glass-on-glass mosaic projects come to life because they can be illuminated by candlelight, incandescent or natural light.
This book illustrates simple mosaic techniques that can be used to create stunning, sophisticated designs for both home and garden décor. There are 12 glass mosaic projects in all, including windows, vases, candleholders, picture frames, light fixtures and more!
Book Description
The Mosaic Artist's Bible is an invaluable sourcebook for both novice and experienced mosaicists, featuring more than 200 themed, traceable motifs and a wealth of information and instruction.
Customer Reviews:
The Mosaic Artist's Bible.......2007-02-03
A good buy definitely worth the money. A must have for anyone serious about pursuing this art. It gives details of scale drawings for all projects and a color palette which are helpful. However,it doesn't give an estimate of the number of tiles or the best type of tiles needed for each project.
Great resource.......2007-01-12
This book has more examples than any other I've seen. Great for someone looking for design ideas. Excellent for beginners and advanced mosaicists.

Customer Reviews:
Very Pleased..........2006-08-22
This is a wonderful book. The scope of this book is wide, including very early to modern ceramic tile designs. I am very interested in tile design and use many styles of graphics in my own work. This book gives me lots of ideas from which to draw to create my own designs and some knowledge of the origin of my favorite styles. If you appreciate lovely tile work and have an interest in how, when and why different styles were developed, this is a book for you.
Book Description
With the breathtaking work of hundreds of artists on display throughout, this visually arresting volume showcases mosaics from all corners of the globe and teaches the skills needed to produce 15 beautiful pieces. The history of the art, tools and materials, and techniques come first: bases, adhesives, and grout; shaping and placing tesserae; practical and artistic design considerations; and several methods of creating the actual mosaic. Put that information to use on an array of magnificent international projects—from a Blue Willow Tray to a Rock Garden Fountain—all beautifully illustrated and with the level of difficulty noted.
Customer Reviews:
Fascinating variety of mosaic styles.......2007-01-22
This book was written by a mosaic artist and teacher who's travelled extensively and kept her eyes open (and her camera ready)while sightseeing. The breadth of her scope is very satisfying (ranging from the ancient Greek and Roman to the very, very modern, with every significant school represented). She absolutely knows the medium, and gives sound and practiced techniques for creating various types of mosaics. She also includes photographs of all kinds of different work, so the reader can be inspired by a style that speaks to him or her. My only reservation about this book comes from the fact that my taste and hers differ, so there are other books available which (in my opinion)offer a more pleasing selection of mosaics to be inspired by.
A Wonderful Book, It's One to Buy.......2004-04-05
This book, along with "The Encyclopedia of Mosaic Techniques", is a must for you whether you are beginning mosaics or have some expertise. The background material provides enough information to give the reader an appreciation of the historical, as well as artistic, perspective on the art. The technical information is sufficient to allow the reader to further their craft. Definitely a must have!
A "Must Have" Mosaic Book!!.......2003-12-10
I have over 50 books about mosaics and this is by far my favorite. It covers many different styles and the instructions are clearly written and very easy to follow. Sonia King is known throughout the mosaic community as an expert and this book is a great showcase of her vast knowledge. A MUST HAVE for beginners and veteran mosaicists alike!
THE BEST! BUY IT NOW!.......2003-12-09
This amazing book has EVERYTHING. Is it a gorgeous coffee table book- or an easy to read, invaluable 'how to'? It's both- and so much more. Expert instruction- with proven tips that even the most experienced mosaicists will learn from- and will save beginners untold hours of frustration. The most extensive colllection of contemporary mosaics I've ever seen assembled in one place-- (many that I've never seen published anywhere else)- all beautifully photographed. I dare you not to be inspired! Stop reading now... and buy this book!
Together at Last - Inspiration and Technical How-To.......2003-12-08
This is absolutely THE book to have on mosaics, whether you are seeking historical/geographical information, artistic inspiration, or technical know-how. I own and use just about all of the mosaic books currently available, but this is the one book on the subject that I would say is essential, whether you're a beginner or an experienced mosaicist. No skimping on the beautiful and detailed pictures (over 500, all of them luscious), and the author's friendly, inclusive tone makes it clear that mosaic art can be joyfully and successfully participated in by just about anyone who wants to play.
Creating mosaic art is an interesting field - it can be both highly technical and joyfully simple. Sonia King's book is by far the best I've encountered at bridging those two ends of the continuum; she discusses the properties of materials used (necessary to know so that your stuff will stick to your other stuff and not fall apart), the wide range of materials available now that can be utilized in successful mosaicking, and step-by-step how-to, but also makes it very clear that this is a field wide open for your own experimentation and self-expression. Maximum info, minimum rules - wahoo, what more could you want?
And beautiful! Never mind whether or not you ever intend to cement a shard of glass to backing - the wonderful photos in this book make it well worth owning for anyone that appreciates art. She covers both historic and contemporary works with well-photographed pictures and in sufficient detail that the truly obsessed can examine them essentially tile by tile. Just looking through this book is inspiring, whatever your aesthetic sense or medium of expression. It will get your creative juices flowing, and once you are inspired it will lead you through the steps to create beautiful works of your own.

An invaluable reference for artists working with hot glass........1997-01-05
The photos alone in this book are worth the $75 purchase
price. There are hundreds of examples of murrine shown,
varying from simple & complex glass canes (such as those
used in millefiori paperweights) to fabulous little glass
portraits of famous people of various eras. The pictures
in this book are so clear that even if this book was the
first edition, published in Italian, a reader could still
use the information to improve their cane-making skills.
The text discusses the origins of glass and the histories of
the great Italian glass houses up to 1924. The careers of a
number of individual workers are followed, with many
examples of work from various periods in their lives. The
construction and assembly of glass canes is explained, with
lavish examples of the various components used to create
both "complex" and "portrait" canes. All in all, at $75
this book is a bargain for anyone seriously interested in
pursuing this aspect of glass art.

Customer Reviews:
Not for hand piecers.......2007-09-18
Lovely complex quilts, but not for hand piecers like me. I found that the patches were too small and the amount of templates need to be made too many.
Difficult, but worth it!.......2007-05-22
I'll agree that this book takes careful reading, but I think it's worth the effort. The cutting templates are only approximations and easy to make and they save so much cutting time! Best of all, foundations make the patterns easy to sew! I'm nearly finished with one quilt and am planning the next as a graduation gift. My husband is so impressed with what I've done. Since I never went to Italy, I even like the "tourist" photos. I think it's nice to see the actual floors that inspired these designs. I wish there were more books with new ideas like Bella Bella Quilts. And, I agree with another reviewer that the author is incredibly helpful, and very quick to answer her emails.
Woo Hoo!.......2007-05-09
I am starting my second quilt in this book, and I LOVE the designs. I found, for my next project, I wanted to alter the design a bit. So I contacted the author via email. She is extraordinarily helpful and responded to my email very quickly. One look inside this book, and you'll want to do them all.
Disappointing.......2007-02-04
I am a quilter who has traveled in Italy, where we have family, and I am interested in art history, which was my college major. So naturally, the enticements for _Bella Bella Quilts_ by Norah McMeeking made me drool.
"Stunning Designs from Italian Mosaics"
"Photos of Italy and its architecture - a great coffee table book!"
"If like me, you are inspired by architectural photography, then you too will think this book 'bella bella'."
I was seriously disappointed when I received my copy in the mail. While the quilt photos are good quality and well-labeled, the photos of Italy are merely tourist quality. Even worse, they are not only unlabeled, but also appear throughout the book without comment or connection to what else is on the page. I can't imagine why anyone would consider poorly lit, unlabeled photos appropriate to a "coffee table book" or what about a book which uses such photos without respect to content to be "inspiring." I have not been inspired to use any of the patterns.
But I do like to learn from other quilters so am reading the book carefully. And having just struggled to decipher "Sewing a Circle Band into a Square" (pp. 16-17), I had to spout my two-cents' worth. In short, argh and double argh!
The directions are inadequately illustrated and poorly related to the text and photographs.
Sewing directions are unnecessarily complicated. E.g., "Anchor stitches to about 1½" shy of where the corner meets the curved band at each end of the partial seam" is clear as mud. "Sew from A to B" would have been much easier, provided an A and B were provided on the illustrations.
The text uses terms inconsistently and without regard to the labels on the drawings. E.g., the instructions refer to "circle bands" while the drawing only shows a "curved band"; the instructions refer to the "corner piece" which isn't labeled on the drawing; the term "corner unit" is used to refer both to the corner piece attached to the straight bands and to the corner piece attached to the straight bands and to the curved band.
The in-progress photographs are difficult to decipher, not only because they use poorly contrasted fabrics and thread colors, but also because the finished example shown is made from entirely different fabrics!
I Dream of Finding Quilt Books like Bella Bella Quilts.......2007-01-10
The quilts featured in this book are amazing. They look intimidating and complicated to construct, but they are not difficult to make. An intermediate quilter familiar with paper piecing and sewing curved seams could make any of the Bella Bella mosaic quilts. I made the Carnevale quilt featured on page forty-eight. It's now one of my favorite quilts. It is stunning and impresses everyone who sees it (if they only knew how easy it was to piece together!).
There was a lot of prep work involved. Lots of fabric cutting and preparing paper foundations and templates, nothing unusual. After that, it was like any other piecing project. Just sew in numerical order then press and trim. And so on. You don't need to know anything about geometry. Just be sure your templates and foundations are absolutely accurate when you make them and your quilt will lie flat.
This book is awesome. In addition to Carnevale, I plan to make other Bella Bella quilts.
*UPDATE*: I am now tackling Venice Rose on page 42. Gorgeous, gorgeous quilt. I do wish the author would have included templates for the individual fabric pieces that make up this quilt. Though it does contain pullout foundations for the projects, templates for individual fabric pieces are not in the book (nor in the foundations that are sold separately). It has taken me over three hours of tracing, adding half an inch seam allowance to all sides of each piece, and cutting templates for thirty-six pieces. If the author writes another book, and I hope she does, she should consider including pre-measured templates for individual fabric pieces. Quilters really appreciate them, trust me!
After making Carnevale, I purchased the paper foundations that accompany the book. WOW! I wish I had bought them before making my first Bella Bella quilt. I highly recommend them. They'll save me hours of work on this and future projects.
