Kids really will amaze their friends and family members with the mosaic-making skills they learn from this attractive book. Using glue, paper, shells, buttons, foil, and even peas and beans, they can create a picture--then go one step further and make a fine looking mosaic frame for it! They'll also discover how to transform an ordinary shoe box into an ornate treasure chest, learn how to make imaginative mobiles of fish and other animals, and create pictures they can hang in their rooms. Author and illustrator Sarah Kelly presents simple, step-by-step instructions for 12 projects, along with illustrations that show and explain everything a beginning mosaic artist needs to know. The book starts with basic techniques and progresses through more complex projects, ending with instructions for making a fantastic and colorful mixed-media masterpiece. An opening section shows all necessary materials and tools. Ten templates at the back of the book will help young artists create abstract designs, fish, animals, and even a mermaid. Full-color photo illustrations and designs from first page to last. Parental supervision recommended for younger children. (Ages 8 and up)
