Beautiful designs and techniques to kick start the hesitant polymer clay artist. After reading this and trying the techniques, my creative thoughts were rushing faster than I could keep up. Excellent tutorials and explanations.

One of my favorite polymer clay books, and I have many! I took a class from Julie last year, and this book reviewed much of what I learned there plus a lot more. Highly recommended!!
