Yippy! I got my first Amazon.com review for Picture Yourself Creating Metal Clay Jewelry, thanks to Alice A Rein, who is one of the many talented metal clay artists you’ll find in the book. It actually means more to me that someone who is in the book wrote this because when I include other artists in projects like this I am always concerned that it won’t meet their expectations.

The metal clay community is really full of amazing artists, like Alice, and my book is far below their technical level because my audience is the total newbie. I really wanted someone who has zero jewelry making and zero metal clay experience to be able to pick up the book and make the projects from start to finish. Alice seemed to get that, and I hope other metal clay folks do as well.

It’s difficult when you have a book that is so focused on one target audience and someone who is at a different level may expect something totally different. Since I tend to have the “want to please everyone” syndrome, this issue always nags at me! Ugh!
