2.0 out of 5 stars very dissapointing, April 18, 2005

By	Naama Zamir (Israel) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

i bought this book because of its two great authors but when i got it i found that other than the finished product all pictures are B&W which is a shame when doing a book on polymer clay which is such a colorful medium.
in addition, most of Barbara's projects shown in this books are projects that i have from her other (very good) book "stamping with clay"

2.0 out of 5 stars Needs more color, March 1, 2006

By	Confido (US) - See all my reviews

The book gives you a rundown of what kinds of clays there are, what tools to use, and walks you through various craft projects. Though there's pictures for just about every step, they're all in black and white. The pictures don't really do much for such a colorful medium like polymer clay.

The table of contents doesn't reveal much about the book's contents. Chapter titles like Sentimental Circle, Bangle Beauty, Cute as a Button, and Crazy Daisy are cute enough, but you have to browse through the book to find out exactly what all these things are. Browsing would be more fun if the pictures were all in color.

There's not that much focus on technique and how to make your own unique projects. It's mostly about how to make various objects in a very specific way (a starry clock, a haunted candle, etc.), though I suppose there's nothing to stop anyone from tweaking the projects and taking away ideas or tips that can be reused.

Overall, it's not a book I'd recommend.

2.0 out of 5 stars It should be in color, October 28, 2009

By	D. Butts "sculptor" (TN.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This was such a disappointment. I expect to see a lot of color in an art illustrated book, but it is almost entirely black & white. It really takes away from the integrity of this book.
I have other books by both of these authors, and the others a beautifully illustrated.
This was not a good idea.
