Beginner's Guide to Faux Mosaics

Beginner’s Guide to Faux Mosaics from Leisure Arts introduces a simple, inexpensive way to make decorative treasures. Easy DIY instructions and tips show how to get the look of ceramic tile mosaics with bits of painted illustration board; just glue the pieces onto a base and fill in between with spackling to resemble grout. This free-form expressive technique is great for bringing a new look to old picture frames, metal tins and trays, a small table, terra-cotta pots, and other items. Patterns and instructions are included for 11 designs by Conn Baker Gibney: Geometric Frame and Box, Watermelon Tin and Flowerpot, Sun Face Tray or Table, Festive Flowerpot and Candle Holders, Sunflower Tray and Flowerpot, and Daisy Flowerpot.
