An Excellent Enameling book for beginners

I had been enameling for several months when I came upon this book. It provided answers to my many questions. I enjoy the historical highlights and the fast facts helpful hints. I also love the projects provided which teach beginners and those more advanced the various techniques. This book has been a definite plus to my library.

Outstanding Enameling Book!

I have three or four other enameling books. This book is the best by far. The things that make it great are the wonderful tips, clear descriptions, sharp photos and interesting projects. Everyone I show this book to goes out and buys a copy for themselves.

The Best Enameling Book Ever

This beautiful book is the most comprehensive enameling book yet. A novice could follow the teachings in this book and end up knowing more than enamelists with experience. The Hot Tips and Historical portions are fabulous. I have not referred to any of my other enameling books since I got my hands on this masterpiece. Thank you Linda Darty!

FIVE GOLDEN STARS BOOK

This is the MOST AWESOME book!! Of all the books I have in my library this one is the BEST. I highly, highly, highly recommended it. Most detailed and full of color photographs! Steps are easy to follow. All level of enamelists must have a copy!!

Absolutely Amazing!

I just got a copy of this book, and am overwhelmed by how amazing it is. Starting with clear detailed explanations of all the fundamentals (including working with enamel colors and setting finished enamels), the book then presents an extensive discussions of a wide variety of enameling techniques, and finishes with 12 challenging projects. But just as importantly, the book is absolutely filled with beautiful color photos of contemporary enamel works by a wide range of artists. For anyone interested in enameling, this is an ESSENTIAL addition to their library!
