Forget the glass and ceramics; just put polymer clay through a pasta machine to make very thin sheets, cut that into small squares, and voila! Crafters have mosaic tiles in whatever shape and color they want, perfect for gluing onto any surface for beautiful decorative objects. And because the polymer weighs so much less than ceramic, these tesserae work better on smaller projects, and offer more flexibility. Simple instructions and color photos present all the basics of this appealing craft, and the great projects include jewelry, mirror decorations, house signs, coasters, tabletops, garden items, and more.

Krista's Mosaic Magic,
By BB2Shoes "BB2" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Polymer Clay Mosaics (Paperback)
Krista's work is well known and much admired, not the least by yours truly. So it was with ill-concealed impatience I awaited her Mosaic book once I heard it was in the offing, expecting her usual top-notch standards and high calibre expertise. I wasn't disappointed. She exceeded my lofty expectations and then some. This book's a proper touch of class: mouth watering eye candy with the lid off, clear and concise instructions, and enough variety of projects to keep me out of the malls and off the Shopping Channel for quite some time to come. Smashing stuff, beautifully executed; I'd recommend this superb volume of work to anyone.

Excellent book with interesting project ideas,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Polymer Clay Mosaics (Paperback)
An excellent all round book on the subject of polymer clay mosaics. Good clearly illustrated introductory chapters and a wide variety of projects. Apart from the sample project, all the other projects in the book only have a finished picture, the step by step instructions just being in writing. This may put off some 'visual' readers, who like to see step by step photos for the making of a project. The 'creative quotes' scattered through the book are a nice touch.
