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 don't miss my gallery, which features tile and glass mosaic art that
adds warmth and beauty to our home. You're welcome to use my work as inspiration for your
own ideas, mosaic patterns, and mosaic designs. Enjoy!
If you have questions about my techniques, don't hesitate to drop me a line. My personal goal
is to share with you the fun and excitement of glass mosaic tile art, and to inspire you to create
your own mosaic masterpieces. As you browse my mosaic art gallery, you may think, "I wish I
could do that." Well, 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 create 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 details for creating your
own glass mosaic tile art masterpieces. It's jam-packed with photographs and illustrations that
make the process extremely easy to understand. This eBook details all aspects of creating
glass mosaic tile 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 create a legacy for your children and grandchildren. Read my eBook and discover how
easy it is to create wonderful glass mosaic tile art 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 create your own glass mosaic
tile masterpieces. You may think, "Why would anyone pay good money for a
how-to-mosaic 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 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. 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 create
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 information essential for creating beautiful glass mosaic tile art. 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 create a mosaic design, draw the mosaic pattern, and
then skillfully fill it with pieces of 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 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. 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.
