Book Description

15 Mar 1997

With polymer clay and imagination, Maureen Carlson has brought a whole world of cheery little characters to life. You can do it, too! This book makes it fun and easy—no sculpting experience or fancy equipment required!

You'll find lots of full-color pictures and detailed, step-by-step projects to lead you all the way—starting with simple, neighborhood kids, and progressing to more complex characters like Grandma and Saint Nick. You'll learn how to make every detail just right, from hair to facial expressions to feet. When you get the hang of it, you can create lively little folks of your own imaginings...even personalize our clay characters for extra-special gifts.

No two will ever be exactly alike, but each one is guaranteed to make you smile!

First Sentence
The colors and varieties of polymer clays now on the market are so wonderful that, even if you never get around to making anything more than a color-swirled snake, it would be worth buying some just to experiment with mixing colors and creating simple shapes. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars it will open your eye's 8 April 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I used to play with fimo when i was younger now being a mum i wanted to start a hobbie so i turned to clay modeling.After days of pulling my hair out i thought a trip to the libary was a good idea.I took this book home and still had it after 6 months woooops.I couldnt let it go.I have read it more times than i can count.

It explains everything you need to know from all the different types of clay which is about to how to cook it.It explains how to do little characters to life like characters.It also has a trouble shooter chapter at the back incase your models turn out to look a little odd.There are many hints and tips and instruction's are sooo easy to understand.A must for any one looking to get into or already is into modeling. if you dont belive me get it out of the libary you will soon realise you have to buy it.BTW if you ask for it at my libary they will tell you there will be no chance......lol

5.0 out of 5 stars Not only for polymer users 30 Jun 2001
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
After 12 months of pottery classes I was still having tremendous difficult with faces. I came across the book "Friends and Family in Polymer Clay"by the same author. Why shouldn't the tequniques be used in ordinary clay modelling? Excellent...They can. I was so pleased that I rushed to buy this book next, with the same results. There is a certain amount of overlap between the 2 books but I recommend them both highly...polymer or not.
