Kate is an amazing individul as well as artist. She inspires me to
be true to myself and my work!! I would LOVE this book!!!!
This will be my start in Metal Clay, I got myself some introductory books and I am waiting for the right time. Now if I win this book, I would consider it a sign! I will blog about it and be back. Thank you for this grand giveaway.
Andrew - great review & generous giveaway, thank you. And Kate, how wonderful of you! Three chances to win...
Kate's work is amazing. I know. I'm the lucky recipient of many rings, necklaces, and one pair of earrings I have happily acquired from her over the years. I can't quite imagine ever making anything quite as wonderfully inventive and accomplished as what she creates, but I guess if she's the instructor, there's a possibility.
I reposted to facebook this morning.
Hi Andrew, I would love to win this book!
Andrew, also posted your review on my facebook pg. thx :)
I just recently bought a PMC hot pot so this book would be fantastic. Thanks so much for offering such an amazing giveaway.

whoo! I'd love to win that.
I took a class in PMC at the Bead & Button show with Sherri Haab. I am fascinated by the stuff. But a tad bit wary and I don't have the right equipment set up. But I would love to learn more, and this looks like awesome eye candy to have on hand. I find that I am inspired by books that I haven't really got the skills in. Count me in, Andrew! And thanks to Kate for being so generous!
Enjoy the day!

I tweeted about your giveaway just now. (Twitter ID CBD_TX.)
Great book. Would love to have a copy. I saw your post on Beading Daily and I also put it up on my Facebook page.
Posted on FaceBook too. ;o)
I feel very selfish entering this contest when I won your contest a couple of weeks ago. This book is at the top of my queue to purchase when my student loan comes in the fall.
Your review is great, by the way! It makes me want to read it all the more.

I've always loved it that metal clay provides the tactility and manipulability of ceramic clay while eliminating some of the struggle of traditional metalsmithing. Bravo that there is now a book that addresses the sculptural possibilities in detail!
