The juxtaposition of colorful, different-sized shapes arranged to form intricate patterns makes mosaics pleasing to the eye. Most often created of ceramic tile, mosaics can be crafted from all kinds of materials-including painted eggshell. Inexpensive and easy to break into pieces, eggshells are the perfect medium for decorating everyday household items and flea market finds. What's more, any project can be personalized to coordinate with the colors of a room or to reflect the personality of a friend or loved one. Gail Dziuba presents basic advice on this new and exciting craft, explaining how to prepare eggs, paint the shells, apply the pieces, and achieve a finished look.
