Publisher Description

Just as ceramic mosaics are created by combining small, brightly coloured tiles, the wooden mosaics in this book are created by cutting, sanding, and staining pieces of wood according to the detailed instructions and shop-tested patterns provided. More than 30 country crafts feature themes such as home, hearth, farm life, and Pennsylvania Dutch living. Historical titbits accompanying each project explain the meaning of the colours and symbols used in mosaics.

Review

This book has 33 different designs. They include Hex Signs, House Blessings and many others. Color suggestions are included. The drawings are quite clear. Some designs contain many pieces. I picked out two of the designs to cut. I copied the patterns at the local library then picked out a nice piece of wood and started sawing. All I can say is patience, patience, and more patience. The projects were detailed but quite fun! The instructions at the beginning of the book are sparse and could be more informative. I would recommend this book for anyone who would enjoy these types of projects. Beginners could follow the designs as long as they are careful and patient.

Long Description

Country Mosaics for Scrollers and CraftersBless your friends, neighbors and even your own home with these wooden plaques symbolizing faith, love, and prosperity!The country-themed patterns in this book were inspired by the Pennsylvania German traditions that are so prominent in the country-side around the author's home. Their symbols of peace, long life and prosperity can be seen on the hex signs that hang on their barns, on the house blessings that grace their homes, and on the quilts and furniture that they use and sell.Noting the clean lines and bright colors of these designs, the author has translated these symbols into attractive patterns for a variety of crafts. Many of the symbols have unique meanings, which, when combined, create a special message for the owner.Use these patterns for many crafts including scroll sawing, needlepoint, stained glass, quilting, rug hooking and more. Once finished, the resulting pieces become excellent gifts and beautiful keepsakes.33 PatternsGreat gift or craft show items!
