Average Customer Ratings:

Found materials are taking the craft world by storm because the creative potential is tremendous. Contemporary mosaic artists—who continue to expand the limits of construction and materials—can benefit greatly from this movement toward reuse. Even the mosaic neophytes among us can explore the myriad possibilities of these new materials with this fabulous guide. Learn everything you need to get started in the world of found art mosaics, from materials, glass, ceramics, natural materials, grouts, surfaces, sealants, safety gear, and more. The 27 projects here—including the Buttons & Pebbles Vase, Glittering Jewels Belt Buckle, and Recycled Bathtub Garden Planter—each reuse and repurpose objects differently, as the found object may be the surface, the tesserae, or both.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Nice projects -
I like the projects and the simple illustrated instructions. I'm not a beginner but for someone who is they are very helpful. My favorite part is that you can adapt the projects to whatever you have on hand.

Tchotchke fest... -
This book is loaded with color pictures. Unfortunately they're for projects that were way too kitschy and cutesy for my husband's taste; he found the Mixed Media Mosaics book a lot more useful. It's a nice quality book, though.

A book for all ages -
Suzan's book is a wonderful source of information on techniques to incorporate found objects into the mosaic process. The book is clearly laid out with concise steps and instructions (including patterns) for a variety of projects. People of all ages will enjoy the suggestions that Suzan offers for creating inspired mosaics.

fresh take on mosaics -
I have many mosaic books but this one includes great tips, techniques plus very creative approach to using found objects to create some really beautiful, pulled together pieces.

Excellent -
I liked the way data was presented in sequential steps with information on the various methods of adhesion. Great photos.
