I sent this book back. It says it is beyond basics but I didn't feel it was very far beyond basic. I didn't see anything not in other basic books on beading. If you don't own a basic book, this one would be a good choice. I was looking for more and didn't find it in this book.

I wasn't impressed with this book and was actually bored. It's more geared to a beginner who wants to learn something unusual or beginning beadweaving. However, I did like the necklace on the front cover, the necklace on the back cover, and the twin serpentine bracelet on page 119. That's about it. The other designs were very strange, or simple, or gross colors. Personally I wouldn't wear any of the authors designs except the three listed above. Most likely I will gift this book to my granddaughter.

This book was very, very, basic. It didn't have anything of interest for me. I am new to Polymer Clay, but this book still didn't offer exciting ideas. It might be great for other artists.
