128 pages
The first few pages address the basics of polymer clay and related tools, followed by a quick section on simple techniques. By page 20, you're into the projects section of the book, which focus on the "quick and easy". (To help you determine just how much time each project will take, the author has rated each according to a three-level scale.) Projects range from a collaged-element lipstick case (which in itself uses a handful of techniques) to clay-covered tools to jewelry with metallic foil accents. The step-by-step instructions are well illustrated with clear, color photos of each part of the process. Each section of projects ends with a two-page collection of tips, tricks and secrets designed to give you an edge at the polymer clay table. A six-page "variation gallery" provides photographic inspiration, illustrating how many of the projects can be tweaked to produce different results.
