About the AuthorTeresa Mills is a mosaic media and painted ceramics artist.
Tile projects SWestlake This book is full of tile projects for all over the house. After buying this to get ideas for an outside fountain I want to build I am rethinking hand painted tiles for my back-splash in the kitchen and may do a mosaic mural instead. I also love the fish ideas and am working on incorporating them into my new tile show. Good Ideas This book had a lot of good ideas. It would be nicer to see the actual piece done in mosaic, instead of sketch.. "50 Mosaic Murals" according to S. Thompson. This book had some interesting ideas, but I bought it thinking it was a book of 50 ACTUAL murals in mosaic. I was really disappointed to see they were all just computer generated patterns for mosaic. There were no photos of real projects made from the patterns. I can't recommend this book to anybody. Sorry.
Designs include magical nursery murals featuring castles, jungles, or pirate ships; bathroom panels depicting refreshing ocean scenes; and trompe l'oeil views perfect for kitchens. Suggestions for using found objects, such as pebbles, shells, and old pottery, to add further interest and originality to the finished piece are also included.. Clear, step-by-step instructions for 50 stunning mosaic designs are included in this guide to mosaic creation for the home. Novices and seasoned mosaic artists alike will enjoy this fresh take on the art form and the thorough demonstrations of core techniques—from choosing materials and utilizing correct tools to applying grout and making the best use of color
