Customer Reviews

Euch.
If you're mad on pmc then you'll like this book. If you work with pmc but have more 'contemprary tastes'...then you wont. It's useful for techniques and processes, but then so are one or two books out there with more sophisticated pmc work featured inside them (PMC Decade, and Tim McCreight). Mixed-media = other materials not pmc, nothing revolutionary here I'm afraid.

Disappointing
I agree with the previous reviewer, there are better books out there. I found nothing inspiring inside, indeed I wouldn't want to make any of the items presented. There is a heavy emphasis on jewellery and I was hoping for a departure from the same old ideas. I didn't get it here, and I felt the 95 pages were rather meagre.
