I'd like to introduce you to my passion. I love working with glass mosaic tile. I'm eager to share my work
with you so please visit my gallery, which features mosaic tile and glass mosaic art that adds beauty and
warmth to our home. You're welcome to use my work as inspiration for your own ideas, mosaic designs,
and mosaic patterns. Enjoy!
If you have questions about my techniques, please don't hesitate to contact me. My goal is to share with
you the fun and excitement of how to make glass mosaic tile art and mosaic tables, and to inspire you to
make your own mosaic masterpieces. As you browse my mosaic art gallery, you may think, "I wish I could
do that." You can! It's easy, fun, and you don't even have to be artsy. Let me show you how.
Most mosaic books and websites don't adequately teach you how to make mosaic tables or glass mosaic
tile art. They typically don't provide the nitty-gritty details, tips and secrets, and lessons-learned that allow
you to start from scratch with raw mosaic materials and finish with a mosaic masterpiece. Have you ever
read a mosaic book or website and thought, "Okay, so now what?" or "How in the world am I
supposed to do that?" or "What does that mean?" You're not alone. To solve this dilemma, I wrote an
ebook, Mosaic Pieces: Essentials for Beginner and Professional Mosaic Artists. It gives you step-by-step
"mosaic how to" details for making your own glass mosaic tile art masterpieces. It's jam-packed with
photographs and illustrations that make the process very easy to understand. This ebook details all
aspects of how to make mosaic art, from choosing the right base material, adhesive, and tessera type for
your project; to selecting the mosaic design; to drawing the mosaic pattern; and to hanging the finished
masterpiece on the wall (which can be quite tricky because of the heavy weight).
I fell in love with glass mosaic tile art many years ago and my passion today is just as deep. It's so
satisfying to see my own work in our home and knowing it will pass to generations. You, too, can make a
legacy for your children and grandchildren. Read my ebook and discover how easy it is to make wonderful
glass mosaic tile art and mosaic tables that you and your family will enjoy forever. With my help, you can
do it. You can!
This ebook gives you all the step-by-step information you need to make your own glass mosaic tile
masterpieces. You may think, "Why would anyone pay good money for a mosaic how-to ebook
when hundreds of Internet websites provide lots of free information?" Two simple reasons:
1) Websites typically don't explain the necessary details for you to fully understand the art and enable you
to compose truly wonderful works, and 2) Many mosaic-related websites provide information that's unclear,
incomplete, and flat-out wrong.
What about other mosaic books? How is my ebook different? I've read many and found that most
simplistically describe the art and offer irrelevant information that doesn't help the novice mosaic artist. They
briefly explain the basics in terms of what to do, but few effectively explain how or why. That's where this
ebook is different. It takes you on an exciting journey into the how and why of creating glass
mosaic tile art and mosaic tables. Other books typically describe fundamentals but fail to define the
details that allow you to become a truly knowledgeable mosaic artist. Knowing the details separates
wannabes who make gee-that's-nice work from artists who make wow-that's-incredible masterpieces.
For example, books and websites typically give basic instruction for scoring and breaking stained glass.
However, few explain how and why glass breaks along the score line. Fully understanding the how and why
allows the artist to more precisely break glass resulting in cleaner and straighter cuts, which can enhance
the look of the final mosaic. It can also help reduce wasted glass from bad breaks. This ebook explains
those kinds of details in easy-to-understand terms that the mosaic artist needs.
You'll learn lots of mosaic how-to information essential for making beautiful glass mosaic tile art and mosaic
tables. This ebook focuses on wall-hanging art, but the principles apply to other types, such as mosaic
tables, mirror frames, stepping stones, and flower pots. You'll learn all the nitty-gritty details that I've
absorbed throughout my long experience as a glass mosaic tile artist. You'll learn from my mistakes so
you won't make them.
This ebook guides you through each process using illustrated, easy-to-understand step-by-step instructions.
It's almost as if I'm in your workshop working side-by-side with you every step of the way. If you
think you have no artistic flair and can't even legibly write your own name, think again. You'll learn to easily
make a mosaic design, draw the mosaic pattern, and then skillfully fill it with pieces of mosaic glass. It's
fun, it's easy, and you can do it. Yes, you can!
Please read the two free sample chapters: Chapter 6 - Color and Contrast, and Chapter 7 - Backgrounds
and Borders. Learn how color influences what our eyes see so you can choose the glass and grout colors
that help create your desired look. Learn how to use backgrounds and borders to enhance your mosaic's
mood. Read the entire ebook to learn all the details you need to know to make your very first
project a wonderful success. Remember, you can do it! Don't be afraid and don't think you're not
talented enough. Making glass mosaic tile art is easy! Let me show you just how easy it is.
Read and learn from the ebook. Then, find an online mosaic glass tile supplier that you like and buy the
tools and materials as described in the ebook. Before you know it, you'll be hanging your first mosaic
masterpiece in your kitchen. Soon after that, you might be showcasing your mosaics on your own website.
And maybe someday, I'll browse a celebrated art museum and find myself admiring your glass mosaic tile
work. You never know.
Please take a moment to browse the ebook's table of contents. You'll see that every aspect of mosaic
designing, creating, finishing, and hanging your glass mosaic tile art masterpiece is covered in detail.
