Beautiful and useful

I bought this book last year on a trip to Europe, and I took it to Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I live and where I work with polymer clay from a long time. Some craft lover friends saw it, appreciated it, learned a lot from it, and wanted it so much that we had to order half a dozen copies of the book from Italy. Now, all of them are fascinated by the easy way instructions are presented and by the variety of projects. I'm glad to know this book is now translated to English and it's available from eveywhere. I highly recommend it to people who love art and like working with their hands, and to people who think they don't like working with their hands too.

Huge variety of projects and ideas. The writer takes you by hand and guides you up to the end of each project. Amazing!

Many good ideas with canes

Detailed instructions for making many different canes, and many nice projects for using them, as well as other ideas. The step by step instructions really make very easy the approach to this craft for beginners too.
