Product Description
Product Description
Regardless of your level of experience with polymer clay, the techniques for creating unique surface designs by combining clay with other media will inspire creativity. As well as covering basic polymer clay techniques, tools, and materials, this book focuses on unique surface embellishments. Styled as a recipe book, each illustrated surface design is shown with complete instructions for replicating the design and is accompanied by three variations. Informative explanations of specific inks, paints, and powders are included, along with a section dedicated to showing complex design combinations. This book covers a range of topical application processes that include stamping, painting, and writing on clay along with step-by-step project ideas that put these techniques to use. A gallery of polymer clay art is included for further inspiration.

Format:Paperback
It looks as if the author just sat down for a couple of afternoons and played around with inks, paints and polyclay.
None of the surfaces are shown baked and all the samples are magnified, messy and almost all are unappealing - in many cases the surface treatment is applied so thickly that you just know it won't work.
Save your money.

I was disappointed with this book when I first got it. I agree with one of the reviewers who said that the examples were a bit slap-dash. However, since doing some surface design work, the book has grown on me and I see more value in it now. If you can get past the author's examples and use the techniques in your own way, it is definitely useful. The author does tell you what paints etc she used and there is a brief step-by-step guide to how she has done each example.

I am so glad I got this book (on recommendation from another polymer clay artist). It is a comprehensive collection of `recipes' for polymer clay surface design. Although described for all levels, this book may appeal more to those with some experience of working with polymer clay, due to the vast array of techniques and other materials (in addition to polymer clay) that are used.
Personally, I like the format of the book, concentrating more on the different techniques, rather than just being full of projects to make. It is well illustrated, with plenty of colour photographs, and has suggestions for variations on the recipes given, encouraging you to experiment further. It is a fantastic book for inspiration and ideas, and a must have resource for any polymer clay artist. Having read the book from cover to cover, I cannot wait to get working with my clay.
