Needs more color March 1, 2006

The book gives you a rundown of what kinds of clays there are, what tools to use, and walks you through various craft projects. Though there's pictures for just about every step, they're all in black and white. The pictures don't really do much for such a colorful medium like polymer clay.
The table of contents doesn't reveal much about the book's contents. Chapter titles like Sentimental Circle, Bangle Beauty, Cute as a Button, and Crazy Daisy are cute enough, but you have to browse through the book to find out exactly what all these things are. Browsing would be more fun if the pictures were all in color.
There's not that much focus on technique and how to make your own unique projects. It's mostly about how to make various objects in a very specific way (a starry clock, a haunted candle, etc.), though I suppose there's nothing to stop anyone from tweaking the projects and taking away ideas or tips that can be reused.
Overall, it's not a book I'd recommend.
very dissapointing April 18, 2005

i bought this book because of its two great authors but when i got it i found that other than the finished product all pictures are B&W which is a shame when doing a book on polymer clay which is such a colorful medium.
in addition, most of Barbara's projects shown in this books are projects that i have from her other (very good) book "stamping with clay"
