Pebble Mosaics: 25 Original Step-by-Step Projects for the Home and Garden
Mosaics are enjoying a surge of popularity among artists and  landscapers, and both of these books provide ideas for outdoor  projects. Outdoor Mosaic offers a selection of photos and  descriptive explanations of projects in different settings done  by the authors' London-based studio, Mosaic Workshop. These are  mostly large, complex, professionally designed and executed  works. No projects are included, but there is a chapter of  technical information. Pebble Mosaics provides step-by-step  projects for paths, planters, and decorative objects made from  natural pebbles, shells, and shards. Many involve mortaring the  mosaic to an already existing feature such as a birdbath.  Outdoor Mosaic will inspire home crafters and professionals  alike, while Pebble Mosaics will appeal more to beginners. Both  of these books would be good additions to garden collections  needing more material on mosaics.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
