STYLISH MOSAICS by ANNE CARDWELL. 128 pages. Paperback with flap. 8 X 10. All in color.

A fresh new look for the popular craft of mosaics! These 21 contemporary mosaic projects, all graded for difficulty, showcase glass, tiles, ceramic, and salvaged materials, like broken china and pebbles. Colorful, sparkling, and intricate, the items range from the simplest coasters to furniture, and are broken into table décor (vases and tabletops); decorative touches, including a garden bubble fountain and Christmas baubles; and wonderful wall embellishments, such as a glitzy mirror and fishy backsplash. All the techniques are covered in an introductory section and templates make replicating the designs easy.
