Reviews
[Review of earlier edition:] In this book, we are treated to a mesmerizing expose of one of the oldest forms of decoration.... Maggy Howarth, an accomplished artist from the UK, has compiled stunning examples of their complexity and beauty in many styles--the plentiful photographs are guaranteed to inspire. No lie, this book is indeed complete with every aspect of design material selection, installation and care considered. Designing, planning and correctly installing a pebble mosaic is labor-intensive and the illustrations contribute to our awe. Installation techniques are well detailed and include methods for in situ and pre-cast work for both frost-prone and frost-free areas, as well as indoor environments. Appropriate as a coffee table book and an instructive text; beginner and pro alike will not be disappointed., [Review of earlier edition:] With photos of some of the world's finest pebble mosaics, this handbook is both an invitation and an inspiration., [Review of earlier edition:] This heavy, photo-filled book is both a tour of beautiful pebble mosaics and an instruction manual., [Review of earlier edition:] Appropriate for the uninitiated and the veteran of pebble walkways alike, this is truly a complete guide to the medium., [Review of earlier edition:] A book full of possibilities... more than 300 photographs of intricate designs from around the world... [Howarth ] comes to the rescue of novices, however, with her technique for a precast mosaic., Although I have crafted many stained-- and leaded-- glass panels, I have no idea of how much patience might be necessary to create a large pebble mosaic. Even so, after being blown away by the lushly illustrated examples in Maggy Howarth's stunning book, I am convinced that a completed pebble mosaic would be well worth whatever the patience-price., [Review of earlier edition:] Walkways and fountain areas featuring intricate mosaic pebble designs are made easy for the average craftsperson., [Review of earlier edition:] Photographic examples of often stunning pebblework... a step-by-step approach to the craft. [Review of earlier edition:] Not only a history of mosaics and beautiful photographs, but a how-to guide for projects... Directions are clear and illustrated., [Review of earlier edition:] The high art of pebble mosaic, so lovingly, lavishly, and exhaustively documented... Part world tour of pebble art, part do-it-yourself guide, and part idea catalog, the book succeeds remarkably., [Review of earlier edition:] Benefit from Howarth's experiences as she shares methods that have succeeded and failed. She also gives her special cement recipe., Pebble mosaics is a craft that almost anyone can master -- and with help from renowned pebble artist Maggy Howarth, it's as easy as picking up her latest Complete Pebble Mosaic Handbook to help inspire and guide you step-by-step through your next garden project. The handbook combines all the essential information for creating pebble mosaics: from choosing the right pebbles, designing the mosaic, installing and finishing it, to providing ideas and photos of creations by the world's foremost pebble artists -- along with Howarth's work, which appears in city squares, hospital grounds and public gardens.
