Good book for learning about resin. All the information and inspiration you need to get started. Nice pictures and a bunch of different projects using different techniques to make resin jewlery and your own molds.

It's laid out really well, logically and step by step instructions makes it easy to understand.
I remember best when I read something and take notes so this book was very useful!

A great resource for a beginner at resin jewelry! It gave me more guidance for gear and equipment that I had from sources online, as well as outlining techniques.

I have always admired the beauty and versatility of resin for jewelry design, and the way it mimics glass without any of the drawbacks. Unfortunately, I can't get past the fact that it is made from petrochemicals, and that crafting with it requires the use of a respirator. I do have to admit that the projects that Sherri Haab demonstrates in this book are gorgeous and inventive.

I watched the author on Good Things Utah demonstrate one of the crafts (resin bracelet)from this book. It seemed easy and so creative. I've checked out of the library a total of 5 of her books now. This one is the most interesting to me.

Good book to start to work with resin. well illustrated and explained. But still to basic for a more advance crafter

[Rebecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

all of Sherri's books are well thought out and organized, I really like how she explains her materials list, this book could benefit from more step by step info though

This is a very nice book with great pictures. It taught a few different techniques and had projects which were simple enough for a beginner.
