        This guide “is designed to help even beginners gain the confidence to create stunning, contemporary polymer clay earrings,” promises clay artist Weiss in her thorough debut, and she delivers. She offers a detailed overview of the basic materials and equipment needed, recommending clay brands and providing a rundown of the best metals to use (surgical steel is inexpensive and durable, while sterling silver and brass are subject to tarnishing). The author then walks readers through methods, including how to bake projects in the oven or mix colored clays to achieve new tones, and suggests tips for troubleshooting (to remove air bubbles from baked clay, crafters can file them down or dab on acetone). Weiss’s alluring designs vary from simple tricolor stripes to more advanced compositions that mimic stained glass and quartz. Several take inspiration from nature, notably the mushroom charm, “boho rainbow,” and “aurora borealis” projects. Beginners will appreciate the detailed instructions and helpful photographs, while experienced crafters will enjoy the challenge of trying out advanced techniques (for the silver-accented beads, readers will learn how to apply foil to their jewelry). This is a perfect primer for DIY jewelers.
