This book is very thin and most of the projects are mediocre at best. Save your money and buy the Polymer Clay Cookbook instead! It has step-by-step instructions and alot of photos, as compared to this book that has basic instruction and not enough photos of the process. It's an OK book, but not worth the $ I paid for it. If you can get it on sale, then buy it.

THE WORST BOOK I'VE EVER GOT!!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY PURCHASING THIS BOOK! IT DOES NOT HAVE IMAGES STEP TO STEP AS OTHER CLAY BOOKS DO! INSIDE YOU'LL FIND ONLY THE TEXT BESIDES THE PICTURE OF THE FINISHED PROJECT! TOTALLY WASTE OF MONEY!

As the other reviewers before me stated...not worth the $$$$. No step by step pics...just one pic of the finished product with a description on how to complete the project. I totally love The Polymer Clay Cookbook...I suggest you get this instead. Boo Tasty Trinkets!
