Mosaics for the garden; mosaics to complete in a single afternoon; mosaics with a contemporary flair, made from polymer clay--these creative projects offer mosaicists an exciting choice of innovative techniques and styles to work with. A shimmering Garden Sun of bronze orange, yellow, and varied blue tesserae is formed on a mesh background, so the entire piece can easily be moved to any site. The daisy-motif wall hanging uses both small and large tiles, creating a "crazy paving" effect in the background. Think of the beautiful Pebble Flowerpot as a special kind of rock garden; the piece has rich textures and contrasting colors. Other intriguing items include a Timely Beauty Clock, Deco Dream Table, and Aquarium Insight Bathroom Backsplash.
