Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Polymer clay lends itself to an astonishing array of applications. Its ready adaptability means that different techniques can give it radically different looks, from jade, slate, or inlaid wood to ceramic, pewter, bronze, or fantasy materials. The 20 projects in this well-presented book embody all these effects and more, featured in clear step-by-step directions and good how-to photos. The bold designs--by the author and contributing artists--include the usual categories (jewellery, buttons, a bowl, a box, and a frame) as well as the less expected (salt and pepper shakers, ceiling fan pulls, cabinet knobs, a clock, a light switch plate, bookmarks). Novices should be able to handle most of these, while more experienced polymer clay crafters may enjoy adapting the techniques to their own project designs.--Amy Handy
Product Description
Polymer clay is the most interesting new craft material to appear in the last 30 years. And now it has developed way beyond flowery beads and bubble gum-pink napkin rings! This introduction by a first-rate authority covers the basics - buying polymer clay, blending and baking it - as well as the beautiful canework that has dominated the craft up til now. But the best part of the book - the part that will appeal even to jaded polymer artists - is the emphasis on the new techniques being used today. Such as...? Photo transfer - a marriage of photocopier and liquid polymer clay; Skinner blend - a delicately granded rainbow blend of clay; Mokume gane - a Japanese metalworking technique, adapted for polymer clay; Marbling Advanced canework techniques Faux natural materials; Molds; Weekend Crafter series: learn the techniques and finish the projects in just a few days. The series now covers 16 different craft subjects; 20 projects: from clocks to fan pulls, bookmarks to jewellery, picture frames to glittery pens; In full colour: 188 full colour step-by-step photographs
