Hamsas are a type of traditional good luck charm in the shape of an open palm with the fingers close together, meant to bring good fortune and ward off the evil eye. In this book, Sigalit decided to focus exclusively on hamsas made with mosaic, each with an original and unique design, through various techniques.
In this book
- a variety of hamsas of original design, in various shapes and sizes
- each hamsa is followed with pictures detailing the work process
- tips for mosaic work
- crafting with assorted media
- a unique method of integrating text into mosaics
- you can find links to download all examples at the end of the book.
