Summary: A Polymer Clay Non-Extravaganza
Review: I was excited to order this new book on polymer clay, but that enthusiasm waned upon glancing at the projects once the book was received. For the most part the projects were juvenille and some actually looked dough-ey upon completion. This was not the quality or level of sophistication I was looking for in a polymer clay book.

Summary: You've gotta get this one! It's my favorite pc book yet!!!
Review: I've only been doing polymer clay for a couple years but I'm definitely hooked! I never realized such a medium could be used for so many different projects - you truly can express yourself! That is what is so great about the recent book I bought written by Lisa Pavelka, "Polymer Clay Extravaganza". It opened my eyes to a whole new range of projects that I can do with polymer clay! The book is beautifully photographed, making it very easy to follow. I think most readers will agree with me that it is much easier to follow photos of each step of a project, than just relying on mostly written text like some other books on this subject. And Lisa's book is photographed so well! I love every one of the projects in it - although some may stretch my capabilities right now! Another thing, I was lucky enough to meet Lisa Pavelka at last years Hobby Industry Assoc. annual convention. I have never met such a wonderful, caring, person. She obviously lives for this art medium, and she did not hesitate to share her knowledge, answering the many questions I had regarding polymer clay. She even gave me advise on how to to get some of my projects published. I recommend her book to all. It's my new favorite book in my polymer clay library. Definately a must have!

Summary: Polymer Clay ,the art form that keeps on growing.
Review: Just when you think you have enough books on polymer clay along comes another one with more new and innovative ways to use this fascinating product.
Many of us have been covering pens for gifts but Lisa's clever pen holder makes a cute gift a great gift.
Her instructions are clear and easy to understand, the photos are great and the gallery gives us a glimpse of what other polymer clay artists are up to.
A "must have" for your creative library.

Summary: Absolutely Wonderful Book!
Review: Lisa has chosen to share with us, in this beautifully illustrated book, her own unique methods of combining poly clay with different materials like tooling foil and fabric foils and inks. The 21 projects are full of new ideas and have easy to follow instructions which cover all the steps. As well as great pictures! I'm always open for inspiration and this book is packed full of it! It will be on the top of the book pile here for a long time! Thank you, Lisa

Summary: Very disappointing
Review: Sorry, but I have to disagree with the other reviewers. I bought this book on the basis of their reviews, but I really wish I hadn't. There's just not very much in this book. The "tips" that the other reviewers rave about are few and far between, and don't really give much useful information. The projects are cute and whimsical, but if that's not your style (and it's not mine), then you won't find much in this book for you. I'm going to sell my copy.

This is a must have for anyone using polymer clay, or even just thinking about it.

Review: This book is a cross over for those of us who are not polymer clay artists. I love rubberstamping and scrapbooking. This book is compilation of the different mediums.

Lisa has managed to fill the gap between the different mediums and create projects that would appeal to cross over of artisans and crafters around the world. Kudos' to the Author...I hope you write more
