Scroll saw segmentation is a technique much like classic intarsia: shapes are cut out, painted, and then reassembled on a wooden backing. The 30 projects offered in this collection are called mosaics because the finished pieces resemble the brightly colored ceramic tile and stone mosaics created by the ancient Romans. Each piece of the mosaic is numbered to indicate the color required. Among the subjects included are lighthouses, ships, insects, and flowers.

Wood plus color!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Scroll Saw Mosaics (Paperback)
I just finished my first project from this book and really like the way the mosaic patterns combine scrolling with painting. I am a beginner and found the instructions very clear. At first I found sawing and sanding the tiny pieces (I used the original size pattern) tedious but when I put it all together I was rewarded with beautiful results. I'll be looking for more pattern books like this. I'm even inspired to try to make my own patterns for mosaics.

This review is from: Scroll Saw Mosaics (Paperback)
I usually build furniture in my shop but I decided to take a diversion and try some "artwork". I always wanted to do some intarsia works but I thought this might be a good start. Wow!! Frank Droege presents some great ideas and outstanding plans for colors and cutting. I made all three works on the cover as well as some more inside. They are now hanging in our home, grandchildren's rooms and at our lake home. I highly recommend this book by Droege.
