5.0 out of 5 stars
beautiful book,
By gizmo's mom "anne" (south carolina) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Inventive Metal Clay for Beaders (Paperback)
All I can say after going through this book is WOW, I need to get started doing metal clay! The donut on the front cover is what attracted me to this book since I love this style jewelry. She has quite a few designs that are along this line and it will be a great asset to have as a reference.
There are 6 beginning projects from simple spirals made from snake shaped clay to a clever heirloom spoon bracelet. The intermediate projects of which there are 8 of has a really cute dragonfly pendant with a body of beads that dangle from the body. The last section cover only 4 advanced projects that covers things like setting CZ stones or wrapping cork beads to make the most gorgeous beads I have ever seen. This is just a stunning book and I am going to order a few of her other books because if they are 1/2 as nice as this one they will be worth having! So far, this is my favorite metal clay book for ideas.

best in the series,
By glaslady (MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inventive Metal Clay for Beaders (Paperback)
Irina has really done it this time- this is the best in the series of 3 (so far, more to come, I hope)- great designs and the changeups and galleries are wonderful. those with no experience with metal clay should probably start with her first book, but those with one class (or more!) under their belt will find this an inspiration.

18 projects for any metal clay worker,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inventive Metal Clay for Beaders (Paperback)
18 projects for any metal clay worker provide all the basics for working with metal clay materials, from using texture plates and applying enamel to blending in metals and decorations to create pendants, necklaces, beads and more. Both beginner and intermediate projects in metal clay work make for an outstanding introduction, highly recommended for basic crafts sections and libraries strong in jewelry making.
