Perfectly Paired: Designing Jewelry with Polymer and Metal Clays

Perfectly Paired by Patricia Kimle, softback published by Kalmbach. ISBN 978-0-87116-294-6, price 21.95 US dollars available from www.KalmbachBooks.com

Patricia amply explores blending together two different mediums in a sympathetic way – polymer and metal clays. She gives an overview of techniques including soldering – yes this is stated as being part of the book – not an hidden extra. It offers another side to using these exciting materials. The twenty projects are of a very high standard in terms of design. Instructions are clear and photographs are very good. Includes great techniques and effects. I really admire Patricia’s work and there is enough inspiration here for everyone. She understands her materials and exploits each to its best advantage. This is an excellent book all round and one I would recommend.
