Great beginner's resource

By bdbear - June 22, 2008

This is a very thorough book including many different applications for polymer clay as well as tools, techniques, etc. As an experienced clayer, I did not find anything new in this book and have seen much of what is covered in other books and on-line. However, if you are a starting out in the craft, it is a great resource to have.
