About The Weekend Crafter: Polymer Clay: 20 Weekend
Product Description It’s the most interesting craft material to appear in the last 30 years—and here are the newest, most innovative techniques around, all needing minimal materials and skill. “Has tips and an interesting variety of projects for beginners...good addition to crafts collections.”— Library Journal. “There’s something in here for every polyclay enthusiast.”— Somerset Studio. Amazon.com 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 (jewelry, 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 From Library Journal The library of interesting and colorful sources available for polymer clay enthusiasts continues to increase. Dean's book has tips and an interesting variety of projects for beginners, although techniques are not as detailed as in Syndee Holt's Polymer Clay for the First Time (LJ 6/15/00). Italian artist Resta emphasizes decorated tableware and household objects. A marbled egg project using real eggshells is particularly attractive. Both of these books are good additions to crafts collections needing more of this material. Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
