Format:Paperback
The flowers are realistic and pretty, but the author uses RESIN clay and then paints it to create most of the colours and patterns. As a polymer clay user that seemed very strange to me, as polymer clay itself can be used to make fantastic colours and patterns.
Then I realised that the title on the actual book is "Amazing Clay Flowers", and not "Amazing Polymer Clay Flowers" (as advertised by Amazon, and as it appears on my order and on my invoice), so this book appears to have been incorrectly advertised.
So if you're into polymer clay and you're expecting this book to include ideas about creating flowers using Skinner Blends and caned designs, you will be disappointed. But if you're into model-making or cake-decorating or just want to know about making flowers in general, then you might be very pleased with it.
(2011) I did email Amazon about the inaccurate title about a year ago, but they haven't changed it...

what happened to colored photos?!
1 Sep 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I make clay flowers as a hobby and use Miyai's two Clay Art books, as well as this one as references. This book has lots of photos that show step by step how each flower is created. There are some crucial steps missing, but I kind of expected that, since that is the case for Miyai's two books also.
My one question: What the heck happened to colored photos?
The book starts out beautifully with lots of colored photos showing the flowers, arrangements, and steps...only to suddenly have black and white photos for the last 30-some pages. What a let down!

Colored flowers with Black and White Instructions!!???
7 Oct 2010
Format:Paperback
The cover of this book is gorgeous and you really need to look closely at the photographs and then closer again to tell the examples are not real flowers BUT then why oh why do you put the step by step instructional photographs in Black and White? I found the black and white photos a huge turn-off, they would have been better off leaving them out. They are hard to follow and so uninspiring I don't think I'll bother with those chapters. Very disappointing and a huge let down to what could otherwise be described as a lovely book.

Amazing Clay Flowers
3 Sep 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I also make clay flowers and have another book by the same author.
They are very informative and quite nicely presented. However, I agree with the last post ie: what happened with the color pictures at the last few chapters??? The book has some lovely color photos of finished works and also much of the step by step instructions are also in color...then, everything changes to black and white photos. Could this be a flawed edition or was that the intention of the books designers? Seems very odd to me that 3/4ths of the book would be in color and the last 1/4 in B&W...a bit disappointing.
