The New Clay: Techniques and Approaches to Jewelry Making

Rating:
Summary: Disappointed
Review: I am extremely disappointed with this book. I bought it because I thought it would provide more ideas for "Jewelry Making"-it did not. When this book arrived, I had been working with polymer clay for 4 days and I learned nothing from the book that I had not figured out for myself, with the exception of how to make weird naked women from clay-not quite was a looking for.A waste of [money].

Summary: I worship this book!!!
Review: If you want to learn to make canes this is your Bible. It is not limited to cane but its step by step guide to all the different types is terrific. I must look at it several times a week. Love it.

Summary: A favorite for people doing polymer clay
Review: This book has been around a while, and for a good reason. It's one of the best books for learning polymer clay techniques like millefiori and bead making.

Even complex techniques are well explained here. The gallery of pictures is inspiring. If you have to get one book, this is definitely one that will start you off right and be worth keeping.

Warning: this is a very FUN craft and can be quite addictive. Fortunately, there are lots of uses for polymer clay, like beads, buttons, hair clips, decorated boxes and much more.
