[…] The text is clear and precise and presented in Rachel's inimitable style, as those who participate in her popular online classes will know, and illustrated throughout with excellent photographs.” ―Joanna Kessel, artist
“It is invaluable to any mosaic lover with questions about tools, materials, techniques, substrates, adhesives and definitely inspiration...You need this book.” ―Rachel Sager, Owner and Founder of The Ruins Project
“The many illustrations in Rachel Davies's book are superb, and include plenty of steps-along-the-way that beginners will find most useful. Highly recommended.” ―Mosaic Matters

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
I just received this book a few days ago and I can’t put it down. Rachel Davies book somehow manages to blend information into simple explanations for beginners but also provide inspiration to create no matter the experience level. I love how she shares we should use materials we have around us and encourages us to use natural environments for inspiration. I am also loving the beautiful pictures of her work. This book was more than I expected and definitely a good purchase for the price in my opinion. I’ve found her work on social media and was excited to get her book. It’s changed how I’ve been approaching my journey with mosaic art and I am grateful for that.
5.0 out of 5 stars Both helpful and beautiful. This book clearly details Rachel's creative process
I just finished reading this book, and am very impressed with the photographs and the writing. Rachel is a master communicator. Her suggestions for how to use photographs of nature in creating mosaics was very helpful to me, and I will use her techniques. I particularly appreciated her emphasizing that the goal is not to make an exact copy of what. you captured on film, but to use one's own interpretation. That is such a freeing idea, and is encouraging of each artist's own creativity. I would highly recommend this book to artists at all levels of mosaic skill.
5.0 out of 5 stars You’ll reference this book over and over
I enjoyed Rachel’s book thoroughly! Wanting to expand my mosaic work to nature-inspired pieces, I came across this book and so happy I did. Very thorough information, great artist spotlights and beautiful walk throughs of mosaic creation. The sea wood piece was incredibly inspiring, as many were. Thank you, Rachel! I now have some confidence to put these ideas in my head into new pieces.
