by Joann Locktov Mosaic Art and Style, a stunning follow-up to The Art of Mosaic Design, is a celebration of how mosaics can be integrated into our lives. Author JoAnn Locktov explores our fascination with mosaic art and illustrates how artists have crafted architectural installations, decorative, and functional objects that have added immeasurably to living environments. Readers will enjoy seeing how mosaic art can be applied to every surface imaginable with a panoply of materials. Mosaic Art and Style tells the story of how the projects were conceived and fabricated from the artists’ own point of view. It will confirm some conceptions and shatter others.
Locktov has forged special relationships with a multitude of artists, who allowed her to feature their work in Mosaic Art and Style. Through these relationships, Locktov takes the reader into the world of the artist and gives them a behind-the-scenes pass into their workshops where she shares the artists’ personal thoughts about the creation and inspiration that imbues their work.

Irene Semanchuk Dean The colors,
textures, and versatility of polymer clay make it a perfect medium
for creating faux surfaces. These 30 recipes for special finishing,
shaping, baking, and molding techniques will magically transform
polymer's appearance. Craft gorgeous faux gemstones, including tiger
eye, jade, or malachite. Fool the eye with imitation metals: pewter,
Balinese silver, verdigris copper, even rusted steel. The must-have
naturals are here, from bone to leather. Or make simulated agate,
slate, or marble. You'll find information on all the types of polymer
clay, from translucent ones to some with mica powder, and see how
to use paints, inks, wax compounds, and confetti to enhance the
surface. Among the unusual projects: a handsome makeup set, lapis
lazuli drawer pulls, Opal Earrings, and more. A Selection of the
Crafters Choice Book Club. Hardcover: 144 pages; 11" x 9" |

The Classic Mosaic Book |
|
by Elaine M. Goodwin
This book reveals the exquisite simplicity of decorating
and designing with mosaics. Beginning with the history of the
art, it draws on sources from Ancient Greece and Rome, the Renaissance,
Pre-Columbian Mexico, the Victorian age, the Art Nouveau movement,
through to the latest contemporary work. Enhanced with hundreds
of color photos, Classic Mosaic explores the application of mosaics
using classical influences. The author clearly demonstrates how
a design is developed, from the initial idea to the finished piece.
From intricate Grecian floor patterns to a shimmering Klimt chair
mosaic, Classic Mosaic shows how to create designs inspired by
6,000 years of mosaic art. 2000, 144 pp |
