13043 MOSAICS £25.00
Kaffe Fassett & Candace Bahouth, Ebury Press, 1999, reprinted 2008, 160pp, illustrated in colour throughout, cloth, dust-wrapper
This wonderfully kitsch mosaic ‘how-to’ book is back in print after a long absence! I just love the armchair covered in mosaic ‘tapestry’! Mainly concentrates on the picassiette technique.
13189 IL MOSAICO CONTEMPORANEO, Tradizione, evoluzione, technica e conservatione £42.50
Michele Tosi, Mondadori, Italy, 2004, Italian text, 159pp, illustrated throughout in full colour, hardback, dustwrapper
When we managed to get copies of this book a few years ago, it rapidly became one of our best sellers! The illustrations of contemporary mosaics are superb, but before we could supply all the demand, it went out of print! Now we have managed to find a few more copies - admittedly old stock and the dustwrappers are a little dusty - but well worth the asking price. Probably the best available book on modern mosaics, but hurry - we only have a few copies!
13202 THE MOSAIC DECORATOR’S SOURCEBOOK £12.99
Rosalind Wates, David & Charles, 2006, 128pp, illustrated throughout in colour, paperback
This excellent book has been out of print for some time, but is now back in a new paperback edition. This has a fantastic range of basic motifs for mosaicists with simple computer-generated examples of how the change of colours can create a whole new effect.

A survey of this fascinating artist’s oeuvre from early ‘shooting’ paintings, done with the aid of a shotgun, to her now-famous mosaics.
