4Kudos to Linda-Kaye Moses for A Great Metal Clay Book
By Babette K. Cox
I am so glad that I purchased this book. Yes, I’ll confess I’m addicted to getting books that tell me more when it comes to what I work with. I have a large total of them. This book is a welcome addition to my library. Linda has put together a fine collection of 15 projects that I’ve never even thought to do before – Ribbon beads with stones twirling around inside? Winged hollow beads? Lantern beads? WOW. I’m impressed. Yes, this book is a outstanding coffee table book, and yet it will challenge even the most experienced metal clay artist. Beginners – no worry, she covers the basi principles for you as well. The photographs are very well done. Step-By-Step instructions are easy to follow too. You won’t be disappointed if you buy this book.
