Easy Crafts Are Simple Crafts

I consider myself somewhat of an underdog in the mosaic world because I follow a different path, simplicity is my mantra, both in design and method and that may be considered by some as not adhering to the classic mosaic styles, but ask me if I care. There is a green movement about which is neither here nor there as far as mosaics and arts and crafts is concerned but it sure is fun and gratifying to recycle a plain glass vase into a work of art – for under $5.! I also have a feeling that there are more folks out there like me who have the urge to craft and would be willing to try a simpler form of mosaic before tackling more complicated designs.

I prefer to be able to complete a project in a matter of hours or days versus months and years – not to mention the costs, special tools and special techniques required for more complicated projects, should you go deep into classic mosaic design. I believe that anyone can be successful using my starter plan and once they discover how easy crafting can be they will naturally progress to more involved craft projects. Keep in mind that mosaic materials such as glass, tiles, china and marbles will last a very long time and what you create could end up as a family heirloom. Sign and date your mosaic craft projects- they are likely to be around for a generation or more.
