"I've already found a number of tidbits of info that I am going
up to work on this afternoon. Thanks for writing the book and sharing
your knowledge. This book is pithy - there are ample photographs for
illustration, but the text is loaded with information."
Jan Norwood--artist
"A big well done on your book - I received it today and have
been having a great time with it! Even my mother who is not a huge fan
of polymer clay was hooked - she wants to try your ideas out with her
ceramic clays - so there we go, praise indeed!"
Emma Ralph--artist

books a beginner needs to own, as well as the top five books
an experienced Polymer Clay artist needs for reference."

"If you like stamping or transferring images onto your clay, add
this well-written book to your library! If you have not employed
stamping in your polymer clay artwork, this book will whet your interest
and give you a variety of jumping-off spots. It is also a
"good-read" for those that are not much interested in
stamping, for you will find information on fundamentals, canes, and
projects, that will help you rethink and perhaps modify your current
work."
