"The Allure of Silver: A Step-By-Step Guide to Metal Clay Basics" This is an excellent, easy-to-follow and understand guide for the beginner who wants to make beautiful silver jewelry using precious silver metal clay. I found the author's style easy to follow and I enjoyed the bits of humour found throughout the book. This is not one of those dry texts that are almost torturous to read--you can really get a sense for her personality, and you can actually make a complete piece of jewelry using her guide from start to finish. I think it is so cool to make real silver jewelry from clay, and this guide walks you through the steps! Excellent resource!
