The best book I've ever seen on polymer clay beads! July 1, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Carol Blackburn does an amazing job of showing the immense variety of beads it's possible to make with polymer clay. The organization is different than usual. Each lesson on a technique has a top border showing a color photo with samples of the bead or beads that can be made using the technique. There are no "projects" per se--just a mind-boggling set of possibilities with hints of still more in the Designing with Beads chapter and the gallery at the end.

This is by far the best book on beads and techniques in polymer clay. Easy to follow directions. Would recommend this be top on your list for next purchase.

P-clay beginners, This is THE book June 12, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I'm a total polymer clay beginner. There are some really good p-clay books out there. This book is the best I've bought so far. The photos and layout are well-though out, informative, imaginative but not cluttered. The top of the page is a gallery with jewelry made from the various beads being featured. The side margins have helpful hints yet the step-by-step instructions are clear and guides you through everything and I mean everything. I previously bought the Art of Polymer Clay by Lark which is an excellent book but beyond my skill. However, with this book as a companion, a novice will be inspired and encouraged to advance to the more difficult p-clay techniques.

A lot of techniques in one book June 8, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I own a lot of books and usually they only contain one or two things I find useful. This book provides detail on many differnt techniques that you can use on many different pieces - not just beads. It has a lot of helpful pictures and clear instructions. Some prior knowledge of polymer clay is useful, but not necessary to start using the book.
