INSTRUCTION RATING:
. Her instructions are clear and very heavily illustrated. These books aren't 'dumbed down' for the weekend crafter, so if you are looking for serious instruction on soft-sculpting and don't have access to classes, this is an excellent place to go. She gives a small gallery of photos of her breath-taking work as well.
BONUS MECHANICS RATING:. These aren't pattern books, but "how to" manuals for employing Lisa Lichtenfels' techniques for soft sculpture.
