Both videos of International Inspirations are excellent. A great way to pick up new tips -- for even experienced artists.
These were probably the very best in the polymer clay series, It's just a little advanced for the beginner, but it teaches so well you "get it". My favorite is PROVENCE, as it is a section of the world I know well, and the transfer section is great and completely different of what I had learned, I give them both (CHINA) five stars! Excellent!
