Summary: Arty Polymer Clay
Comment: The projects in this book are more of a modern artistic
way to use polymer clay.
I really enjoyed reading about the history of "clay".
I find the projects interesting and different.
I do plan to make the Cactus Candleabra though. It
intrigues me.
We have an art district in my area..I plan to make it and
place it in one of the stores. I think it would fit right in.

Summary: Its ok, but not the best
Comment: A lot of the projects in this book are very different. It doesnt go into great detail in describing how to make the project. I wouldn't recommend the book for beginners.

Summary: A Pretty Project-Based Book with Excellent Front Matter
Comment: Polymer Claywork is a project-based book, but what is most interesting about it is its front matter. The projects themselves range from fun to a bit dull.
The book includes both a section I've not seen in another PC book - a short history of PC - and a lovely gallery. The history was fascinating for me, since I'm rather new to PC, and answered one of my long-standing questions (what does Fimo mean?). And the gallery was, sadly, too short, but inclusive and inspiring. Those two items alone were worth the lower-end price of the book.
The projects themselves, while attractive, don't always include new techniques or new ideas. They range from extremely basic to somewhat complex. Most of them are of the home decorating or knickknack variety, with a few basic jewelry or bead ideas. One interesting facet of these lessons is the mixed-media aspect; there's rather more of this in Polymer Claywork than in most books - projects like tassels and hand mirrors, for example, with both PC and non-PC components (other than findings).
This book is hardcover and stitch-bound, which is really nice. I haven't had it very long, but I suspect it will hold up to standard use better than many of the PC books available. It's also attractively priced; many of the softcover project-based PC books are more than this one.
A nice, attractive book, and one I'm happy to have, though perhaps not essential in a PC library.
