This book has nice photos of great creations by polymer clay artist. The photos are not small with only one or two items on each page. It gives the name of the artist, and some of the materials used. It has no instructions for any projects or techniques, so if that's what you want don't buy this. If you are already a great polymer clay artist, you will find inspiration looking at the pictures. Most are very complicated and are not for beginners. It's a great price for so many pages of photos.

Within its 352 pages you will find unlimited inspiration and ideas for new and varied clay projects. Even if you are not an accomplished polymer clay artist, this book will inspire you to explore the wonderful, varied world of polymer clay.

From cover to cover, feast your eyes on 400 breathtaking photographs, each one more stunning than the last. Every aspect of polymer clay design is explored in the pages of this book. If you need inspiration to start a new craft or if you are a seasoned polymer artist, the techniques and designs will definitely spark your creativity.

Every technique is represented with close up, clear and colorful photographs. The exquisitely detailed photographs exemplify the works of many talented well-known clay artists with materials used and different techniques. Each and every page glorifies the experience of polymer clay design.

It should definitely be in every polymer clay enthusiast's library.

This was a book of brilliant, professional, and beautiful polymer clay designs and product. Unfortunately, I wanted to know how the designers made these pieces (at least a short synopsis) and there was not a hint of that in any one of the pieces that I liked. So if you want a book of designs and creations only of very, very talented artists -- this is the book for you.

The book was surprisingly thick for the small cost it's being sold for. All the pictures are full color. No black and white photos. Images are large enough to see detail so you can learn new techniques and get ideas for your own projects. Overall, I'd say this book is a winner!

A friend of mine lent me this book she called it a "cofee table book." I think this a very appropriate title. I found this book not only interesting but inspirational, there are a wide range of artists inside who use a large variety of different types of art using polymer clay. This book would be appropriate for someone who is fascinated by what is possible with polymer clay. Well worth a look.

This book is a stunning gallery of what all is possible in polymer clay. I do have two of my own pieces on this book, and it is a huge thrill to be included in this book.

This is a must have book for anyone who loves creating stuff from polymerclay. There are jewelry pieces, sculptures, wallpieces... Items vary from usefull to art pieces. This book probably has examples of any techniques that have so far been used with polymerclay. Really interesting, highly entertaining and very inspiring book.

All of Larks 400 and 500 series books are not instructional: they are inspirational. This book showcases some of the best polymer work being done. I have pored over and over it for the past year and I never tire of looking at it!

This book is not instructional. It's inspirational. The pictures are wonderful!
If you need something to get you through those dry spells, this is the book for you. Just flip through the pages and get inspiration from the designs of these multitalented artists.

The pictures in this book are beautiful, but I will probably be reselling it on Amazon because it is just like looking at a coffee table book. Once through, and you're done. There are so few really good polymer clay books (The Art of Polymer Clay being one of them), and this one is not one of them. The photography is impressive, the designs are beautiful and innovative, but if you're looking for a book that teaches you something - forget it. This isn't it!

One word: Stunning!

Don't look for instructions, there are none. This book is an introduction to the endless possibilities of polymer clay as a medium of artistic expression. It showcases the work of master craftsmen way out of reach of beginners. There are countless how-to books for the later. Learn the art in small steps and keep this book both for inspiration and aspiration.
