The clay is available in 17 colors,including the spectral colors, neutrals,metallics, pearl and translucent. I do mostlysculptural work, so my experience with theclay is within that realm. The clay is difficultto condition initially, but once it has beenconditioned it is wonderful to work with andreconditions easily.The colors are intense and mix well. Themetallic and pearl have more mica thanany other brand I’ve used. I have beenmixing the clay in equal amounts withPremo and getting very good results andsome great colors.The clay is wonderful to work with; sharpdetails are easily achieved. The clay is notsticky or hard to handle at all and stays firmthrough heavy handling. The clay seems tonot take fingerprints easily. I have donetransfers with the clay and they seem crispercompared to other clays with the sametransfer.There are some minor problems: the claydoes seem to have a stronger odor. Also, ICreative Ways with Polymer Clay by DottyMcMillan, Sterling Publishing Company,2002.144 pp. 16.95 Softcover.There are so many polymer clay books onthe market now that whenever a new onecomes out, my first question is whether itcontains new ideas or a rehash of the old.In the case of this book, new projects andtechniques abound making this a worthyaddition to your polymer clay library.The book contains useful information onsanding, reducing canes. buffing andfinishing, and a chart of the thickness of claysheets at different pasta machine settings.There is a section on basic information,safety, tools and clay, which is useful if youare a beginner. There are also instructionsfor basic techniques- mokume gane,8
