Book Description
Bring the beauty and elegance of ancient mosaics into the modern world--a place where anyone can create them. Learn how in this exciting reference that teaches even beginners to utilize common plaster compound techniques to create 15 mosaic works of art that will fool all but the most discerning eye. Simple techniques are used to apply the plaster to different surfaces from boxes and frames to furniture. The designs are then transferred to the medium and carved with a simple wire tool. The materials are few and the cost is slim, but the result is spectacular. Projects include a serving tray, cabinet, door hanger, flowerpot, and chalkboard.
