A great teachers tool!
20 Feb 2003
Format:Paperback
I just received my copy of Lisa Pavelka's "Polymer Clay Extravaganza" and what an extravaganza of beautiful projects. I am always looking for great books to recommend to students, adults and children alike, who know that I work with polymer clay. This is the book I've been looking for. Great section on polymer clay basics. I love that the author included wonderful "tip" boxes throughout the book that quickly and concisely educate even the seasoned polymer clay addict. The book is filled with a potpourri of great projects that have easy to follow instructions and the most amazing photography. The projects use a variety of cross-over materials (you know, all the crafting things you have bought over the years and are now in your basement in a box.) Well, get that box out and start claying, "Polymer Clay Extravaganza" gives you the tools you need to make wonderful art from polymer clay. The gallery section is beautiful and an inspiration for any artist.

I have found this book to be such a spectacular buy that for the past few months this is the only book I have recommended to my clay enthusiast friends. This is one book anyone working with polymer clay or interested in getting started, should own.
