Customer Reviews

Polymer Clay Jewelry

The book was excellent. Very clear directions and wonderful pictures. I especially liked the list of tools and supplies, as I am new to polymer clay crafts.

Absolutely Fabulous Instruction

I am fairly new to polymer clay and jewelry-making so I have been buying and reading literally tons of books. I couldn't believe my luck to run across this book. Clear instructions, photos that enlighten one to process and stimulating examples, the type that spark imagination. I was so excited and pleased to have this book in my collection. This is my favorite book of about 30 I have bought and all the others I've read. I wouldn't let the term "ethnic" jewelry scare you away, there's plenty in this book to appeal to all taste and sensibilities. In fact, her pineapple piece looked so good it even appealed to me (and normally I am not drawn to edible jewerly pieces) She also shares several techniques I have not seen in any of the books I've read. More importantly she shows you the "sanding" process -- something I had not seen visually and was relieved to know I'd been doing it correctly. I am thrilled to know that Debbie Jackson also has shared her expertise with others, particularly children at the recreation centers in her town. I have visited Columbus recently to view the incredible art of "Aminah Lynn Robinson" at the Columbus Museum of Art -- if you have a chance get the book about Aminah's art from the museum, trust me you have never seen anything like it (and she is also a recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship) and now I suspect that some of the greatest artist of our time reside in Columbus, Ohio. Ms. Jackson I cannot wait for book two. Wow.

Beautiful beyond words

I love this book. At last a polymer clay book with a different funky urban african inspired feeling. The photography is awesome the writing is clear and concise . I can't wait to get started on the projects ,You go Debbie. Buy this book today do not hesitate.

A keeper !!

Debbie Jackson's projects are stunning. If you love ethnic style jewelry this book is a must have. It's now in my top 5 of polymer clay books to own. Buy it, I know you won't regret it.

This is a beautiful book!

Debbie Jackson has written a book suitable for beginners and experienced polymer clay enthusiasts. The work is different and has a distinct style of its own. Even if your tastes don't run to ethnic art, these projects are easily adaptable to suit your own style and taste. The instructions are very clear and the photography is beautifully done. There are a wide range of projects included and Polymer Clay Jewelry would be a great addition to your library. The hinged pendant is beautiful and I can't wait to try making one of my own.
