Average Customer Ratings:
Great crossover potential--introduces a fresh creative medium and process for mixed-media, collage, assemblage, polymer clay and mosaic tile artists.
Project variety--along with more familiar surfaces (like tables and mirrors), mosaic work is introduced in refreshingly new formats, such as jewelry and shrines.
Features an extensive techniques section and 18 step-by-step demos designed to be accessible to all skill levels.
Mixed Media Mosaics uses polymer-clay, mosaic-tile work as a new and exciting platform for mixed-media/collage artists. Readers will learn to craft highly textural and vividly colored icons, boxes, tables, items of personal adornment and more, using a combination of manufactured tiles and handmade tiles. Techniques for creating the tiles include painting and glazing, stamping, embedding items like beads and buttons, mixing pigments and mica powders with clay, adding metallic leaf, creating molds, combining the handcrafted tiles with traditional mosaic tile, grout alternatives and more. In addition to learning techniques for making their own tiles, readers will discover helpful processes for working inspiration (such as an homage to a loved one or a memorable getaway) into their tile-work, using personalization techniques such as stamping words or adding personal ephemera and found objects.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Full of possibilities and options for creating your own art -
Ms. Mika is a very generous artist. She has shared all the techniques here that have made her colorful mosaic pieces so popular. This is a truly mixed media book with instruction on using glass tiles, found objects, ceramic tiles, polymer clay, paint, rubber stamps and more. The polymer clay techniques alone would be valuable. Most mosaic books rehash the same traditional techniques with glass and ceramic tiles. Laurie punches up those traditional tiles with paint and ink and shows mosaics in many different color palettes. Many photographs of her work are included as inspiration but I also felt free and able to make anything in any style with tiles that I customize. She also shows the possibilities of producing practical objects such as tabletops. Buy this book if you like working in mosaics, polymer clay, mixed media shrines, rubber stamping or want to try something new. You won't regret it.

Best creative ideas for mosaic and mixed media artists -
This book has been an incredible inspiration to me since I began doing mosaics. I now have experimented with polymer clay, making my own tiles like the author does. Her creativity and artistic ideas have encouraged me greatly. I find this particular book to be the most exciting and original over many other mosaic books I have ordered. A definite keeper and highly recommended!!
Polymer clay tile making -
