Get inspired to start a brand-new hobby—and fall in love with creating mosaic works of art—with Beginner's Guide to Making Mosaics! Review Originally published in France, Lescuyer's beginner's how-to reference for mosaics displays a decidedly Gallic bent. Her 16 designs take cues from the simple aesthetics of her compatriots, like mosaicists Raymond Isidore and Isidore Odorico, while emphasizing color-saturated patterns. The projects are streamlined and were created to take advantage of the material's best qualities. A squarish mirror, for instance, is centered in a design of large and small dots arranged in colored grout. Well-orchestrated color photographs zero in on the exact steps that need more visuals, while accompanying texts fill in the details. Side boxes provide tips and techniques that further support novices, such as rotating the platform to work around a pot being festooned, and knowing that sanded grout is easier than unsanded grout to clean with a sponge. An amazingly clear translation ensures no gaps in knowledge on either side of the Atlantic.--Booklist As a crafter who is relatively new to mosaics, Delphine Lescuyer's book is the perfect place to start!
