1: Great polymer clay tips and techniques
I'm new to using polymer clay and am on the look out for new ideas and techniques that I can follow exactly or add my own twist. This book has great projects with good "how-to" instructions. Definitely one of the better books I've purchased. And it's interesting to see what different jewellery artists' create with polymer clay due its awesome versatility.

2: I love this book!!!
I have had so much fun using the techniques in this book, and I haven't even gotten 1/3 of the way through. I wasn't sure I would like it as well as Donna Kato's book on surface techniques, but I have actually found it easier to work with. Perhaps it is a question of aesthetics - I really like the author's color schemes and design sense. Would definitely buy this book again!!!

3: Not bad
Some interesting concepts. Seemed a bit too project orientated for me personally but learned a few things and interesting to see her process.

4: This is the book I've been looking for!
If you wonder how polymer artists create all those incredible, minute details and delicate shading read this book. Ms. Bananto's designs may or may not be to your taste, but (hey, we're all different) the secret of HOW she achieves them is relevant for anyone who wants to develop such skills. Basics and general information are well written too. Good work, lady.

5: Great PC jewelry book. Love it.
Basics were covered well and her basic canework instructions (18 canes) were perfectly photograhed and explained. Considering I'm the visual, put things together by the diagram alone kind of person, I'm picky about photo demonstrations in clay books. There never seems to be enough. I think I could make up every cane solely instructed by photos in this book.
The projects include typical sliced beads, rolled beads, image transfers, a really cool fidget pendant and much more. She also includes the jewelry making steps as well as the clay making.
I especially enjoyed the color palette section (inspirational fabric samples) and the color palettes supplied at each project. That's a tip I will use regularly.
