Martin is great -
I have been a mosaic artist for seven years and I would say this is a good book no matter what your level of experience. I also enjoy Martin's work and like to see what he is up to. Great resource and inspirational too.

Milifiori in Mosaics -
I may be a bit predjudiced as a moaic artist myself, specializing in millifiori, but I loved Martin's extensive use of this wonderful material throughout the pages of his book. Used as accents and as full areas of pattern, he has shown the reader an exciting new direction that modern mosaics is moving using a very old traditional Italian glass but in adventurous new ways.
Now that being said, Martin offers a variety of interesting and inspiring projects for all levels, rating his projects on a difficulty scale of 1-5 and on a working scale of a few hours to several days required to complete each project. He also offers several different methods of working, including techniques such as direct, indirect, transfers, outdoor casted concrete and working over wood, metal and glass as a substrate.
Not all of it is for everyone, but I am sure there is more than one project in Martin's book that will inspire you to want to run to your craft table and start pulling down the tiles. For me, it was his wonderful Storm Lights and his 'Day of the Dead' Mosaics in smalti and millifiori.
Bravo Martin, you are one of todays' leaders in contemporary mosaics. Laurel Skye
