Summary: Inspiring but difficult to follow
Comment: I liked this book for the inspiring techniques. Unfortunately some of the images 'showed off' what you could do without offering true recipes. The Mokumo game looks great.. the step by step is impossible to follow because there are no images and instructions say use ripple blade on one side of a layered block - there are six sides - please! which one? I still don't know. I'm wasting numerous blocks of clay trying to work out exactly what was meant by the very poor instructions. In all, this book is a little disappointing but still a worthwhile addition to your library. I only wrote this review to counter all the 5/5 reviews because they make it look like a miracle book, it isn't but it's good.

Summary: Many artists with many fabulous projects
Comment: This book includes projects never before published.
Each project artist submitted their text, project and work samples resulting in a good sampling of diversity for the materials. Georgia Sargeant culled from these submissions the most interesting and with her fine writers' skills polished up the manuscript to present clearly understandable directions and information for many new techniques.
The photographic close ups are extremely helpful in supporting the instructions for each step, making following along a simple and fun process.
I often use this book when I teach polymer clay and Precious Metal Clay programs. My students have found it to be a great resource for the techniques in both media.
I think this is definitely a new classic when it comes to polymer clay and Precious Metal Clay and I'm very honored to have been a part of this project.

Summary: This is the book to stir your creative juices!
Comment: Its broad spectrum is what makes this polymer clay book exciting. As the title suggests, the projects included in the book explore a wide range of techniques and materials. The first section delves into the construction of some very handsome projects using polymer clay. Georgia Sargeant has selected an excellent variety of items that will appeal to most everyone. The instructions are clear and the photographs stunning. I especially like the fact that she has included variations for each of the techniques.
The second section of the book explores the basics of using silver clay as well as some more detailed projects. Celie Fago is renowned for her work with silver and this book gives her a chance to show what one can create using the clay form of this metal. The fact that silver and polymer clay can be combined to make some unusual and striking projects gives this book an extra dimension.
The Gallery section is truly a feast for the eye, not only for polymer clay aficionados, but for anyone who appreciates beautiful and creative art work.
Well organized and edited, with the help I'm sure of Liva McRee, this is one of those must have books for just about anyone.
