inspirational and fantastic

i found this book in the local library, and it changed the direction of my polymer clay work instantly. this is a must for anyone interested in polymer clay, or just making fabulous looking jewelry with nothing more than clay, paint, found objects, and some imagination. not sure what took the publisher so long to get it back into print, but thanks for doing so!
