Description

Extensive guidebook to a popular and hastily growing craft.

Many people have walked the squares of Venice, Rome and Madrid and admired the geometric pavements of pebble mosaics. Made from found stones, and as beautiful as they’re durable, pebble mosaics are a welcome addition to gardens, patios, and public spaces.

The Complete Pebble Mosaic Handbook is the most complete sourcebook for enthusiasts and landscape designers — an accessible and illustrated guide that covers materials, design, tools and techniques.

The book lists the most efficient sources to find or buy pebbles; how to make a choice and test pebbles for strength and quality; and which materials to keep away from. There are practical instructions for ensuring the mosaic can resist frost, foot and vehicle traffic, pollutants, and water.

The book explains in detail the principles of creating walkways and patios, precast slabs, fountains, pools, and cascades. Illustrated sample projects are followed step by step. Designing is also fully explained whether the use of simple sketches or professional graphic design software.

A showcase of pebble mosaic from around the globe by leading artists demonstrates the craft’s vast creative potential. In addition, a section of design ideas features many popular subjects and patterns including animals, heavenly bodies, spirals, borders, floral, fish, flowers, and many more.
