Summary: Best polymer clay book I've found!!
Review: This book offers faux "recipes" and then an example project for each. The instructions are very clear and easy-to-follow, even for an absolute beginner (such as myself!). I've bought most of the polymer clay books out there and while many offer interesting projects, this one gives you the tools to create a special faux effect which you can then apply to any project you can imagine or combine then with other effects. You can really let your imagination soar with these recipes!All the artists who contributed to this book are very talented! Thanks to Irene for gathering all this amazing information in one place.

Summary: Fabulous Resource Book for Clay Artists!
Review: This book was much more than I expected ~ it's a valuable reference and resource book for both experienced clay artists and those new to this media. I was especially impressed with the clarity in the written directions and the abundance of photos. Well written, clear presentation with a wealth of color photos ~ an asset to any clayer's private library.

Summary: YUM!
Review: This is one beautiful book. Warning: if you see the cover - you will have to have this book. I was happily surprised by the sheer number of "recipes" for metals, stones, and natural items like leather and bone. The recipes are separate from the project, thus allowing one to concentrate on making the faux surface and not becoming bogged down with making pattern pieces. Every recipe has a great project one can easily change into something to fit personal style. In reading the first part of the book, it is obvious Irene is very experienced and talented in working in polymer clay. There is much information she has shared so freely. I feel she truly wants the readers to enjoy the PC experience instead of "finding things out the hard way". The "recipe artisans" are very talented and amazingly clever. If you don't have time to get involved in a project, reading through this book will give you so much inspiration you will somehow make time for yourself and your clay!

Summary: Faux Surfaces in Polymer Clay
Review: This is the book of the year! Beautiful work. The photos are the most beautiful ever put into any type of craft book. For a person just beginning clay work or the experienced crafter, this book is perfect. I first heard of this book on one of the groups for clay. Everyone is raving about this book. This is a book no crafter should be without. If purchasing a book as a gift is on your list for the holidays, this is the book.

Summary: A "Must Have" For Your Collection!
Review: What a fantastic book! The photographs are clear and plentiful. I found the projects to be fit for both beginners and advanced crafters. Many of my favorite Polymer Clay artists have generously contributed projects. The instructions are detailed enough to ensure that you achieve the best possible results. This is the BEST book on PC techniques that I have purchased. I cannot praise it enough!
