Best resin jewellery book I've found, 10 Feb 2007
By J. Beattie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Resin Jewelry (Jewelry Handbooks) (Paperback)
This is a great book for people who seriously want to make resin jewellery. It has step-by-step instructions accompanied by lots of photos. I was not fussed on the finished jewellery examples (not really my style) but the processes and procedures are really good.

I like this book not only because it explains the technique of resin casting very well, but also for its beautiful pictures of real resin art. Although I will never be able to produce such work, you get the feeling that she sky is the limit with this material

Another Euro/English to American translation, 27 Mar 2006

This is another of the published both sides of the pond at the same time. The only problem with this book is the lack of careful editing done by the U S publisher krause publications.
So as to the subject matter it is covered only to the depth of giving the hobbyists an idea of what is involved in making jewelry out of resins and epoxies. It does go into the safety concerns, but not in one section all through the book. It is laid out so you can skim thru it and find what is interesting and use that section. It does have a half useful glossary. It was a forerunner of the new group books on this sub category of jewelry material use.
One thing that I had to track down to make sure of what it was as mentioned in the book was misspelled. It was spelled linicher which a friend in England informed me is correctly spelled linisher which in American is belt sander.
Even with the short comings it is a starting point for anybody looking in to getting started in resin jewelry making. Some of the resource guide places are out of date. But a web search will come up with more than enough locations for info on plastics and resins. I own it and will be keeping it
