REVIEW
Informative but can be much better The 3 basic projects using various techniques was very informative and well structured. HOWEVER, only a very small time of the film gives you an close up view of these techniques. No offense, Nena, but I would rather see what you're doing than watching you talk. I would seriously suggest firing your camera person.

REVIEW
Beware! This DVD could be addictive! You'll have to do what I did: drop everything, clear a space, go get polymer clay and dig outstamps and tins and pens and a lightbulb and go play for a few days! I simply couldn't just watch this and not jump in!
I am NOT a polymer clay person: I barely know how to roll out cookies, let alone polymer clay but my first project had everyone I know stopping me and asking where I bought it! I covered a tin with polymer clay and it was easy and I felt as if I really knew what I was doing by the time I was done. Lisa is easy to listen to, doesn't miss a detail and this DVD is great to show up close and personal how she does every step of a project. You get all the technicalstuff and all the safety tips, too, as well as a nice variety of beautiful projects to try.

REVIEW
A very good overview for fusing beginners Vicki Payne is an excellent instructor. She works hard to make stained glass and fusing accessible and affordable to beginners. She keeps things simple, she never goes too fast, and she chooses projects that are basic without being dorky.
In this video, Vicki Payne and Jayne Persico demonstrate the techniques of creating jewelry by fusing glass (primarily dichroic glass) in a small tabletop kiln. They do a very good job of demonstrating the differences in types of fusing (such as a tack fuse and a full fuse), and they clearly show every step in the process. By the end of the video, you know how to make several kinds of jewelry, complete with findings and finish work.
I've been fusing for over a year (though I've mainly been doing small dishes and using a larger kiln) and I learned quite a bit. If you're just getting started with fusing -- no matter what size projects you're considering -- this video will give you an excellent overview of what's involved.

Rings of Beauty DVD With this DVD I was able to make all the rings you see on the title page and it was so much fun! The excellent teaching style of Sharilyn Miller is simple to follow and if you are a visual learner like I am, you won't have any problems creating all the designs she teaches here. The most challenging was the nautilus ring, which is made with one continuous piece of wire. These rings are quick and simple to make as gifts for friends, family and yourself. Your friends will all want you to make them one (or more).

Thanks, Sharilyn for all your hard work in bringing the world of wire jewelry making to me and so many others who love it.
