Below: The Basics kit with Assorted Pastel Shards

So what makes my kits so special? 
Shards: Most ordinary craft kits found in big-box stores contain flat tiles or “china pieces” which are usually nothing but printed flat tiles.  The shards you will receive are from my own personal collection:  Cut from damaged antique dishes that I have chosen for their beauty, texture and shape.  There ARE a few flat pieces, but having an array gives you what you need to get a truly authentic Pique Assiette piece.  And  you’ll get plenty of them, enough for your frame(s) and then some.  Of course, you should look around and see if you have anything in your house that might work well, too.  And objects such as broken jewelry pieces, figurines, utensils, shells, flower pieces, well really there are very few limits to what you can use in your mosaic. (continued below photos of mosaic kit) Obsessively-Detail Instructions with full color pictures
You’ll learn a great deal from my instructions:  How to cut china with tile nippers, the secrets to grouting mosaics, how to use mastic adhesive to get the authentic Pique Assiette Mosaic  look and feel. And this is no time to save trees...I want you to have these paper instructions to be able to set in front of you while you work!
Beautifully Packaged:  My kits are an art project in and of themselves. Makes this a great mosaic kit to give as a gift, or a special occasion “rainy day” treat for sister, friends, and mother-daughter days.

To learn the skill from scratch, you would need to gather some building materials, which generally come in huge heavy bags. You may have some of these around your house, but I firmly believe in freshness of both grout and mastic. I've made it really easy for you to see if this is a fine-craft that you will enjoy, without any trouble at all.
