Mosaic Renaissance : Millefiori in Mosaics

Readers will be dazzled from the moment they open this book and see the stunning works of shining, rich mosaics imbedded with millefiori. After an introduction to tools, supplies and the basic cutting techniques, readers will be inspired by more than 60 mosaic patterns, ranging from simple to complex, they can apply or adapt to a large number of projects. Ten intriguing projects - like light switch plates, a wine bottle and an embellished mirror - include step-by-step photos and instructions for re-creating the pieces. Finally, a gallery of work from a number of mosaic artists completes this wonderful mosaic resource.
