Ratings and reviews

This has to be the best polymer clay book to own. It incorporates advanced colour theory and PC in practical lessons, perfect for this vivid medium. The tutorials focus on explicit considerations when identifying a colour scheme, all centered around polymer clay. Perfect! I would rate the book as intermediate to advanced level; for people who want to progress in this medium. If you find yourself struggling to choose a colour pallet that really pops this is the book for you. If your colour design choices are already good then its still the book for you. Its simply that AWESOME! Best PC book ever. Buy it.

first I was thinking that no one can make like me but after I read it I understood I am not the best
