I'm a mixed media artist and wanted a book to introduce me to Polymer clay for Jewelry making. Since this book has a nicely illustrated cover and so many great reviews, i decided to purchase it. Sadly, I coudl not find and inspiring step by step project. Sue demostrates many "techniques" but never walks you completely through a project to finish a piece. So it is what the tite says, just techniques. This cousl have ben a smashing book if it had 3 or 4 projects with complete step by step, start to finish instructions for at least a few of the techniques. I'm sure i'll put it back on half.com :)
