Synopsis:

Shows how to create jewelry and decorative art with polymer clay, teaching basic techniques and offering such projects as floral forms, moldmaking, figurines, and mosaic bowls

Synopsis: The wonder substance of home crafters, polymer clay is versatile, pliable, inexpensive and easy to find. It is available in multiple colours, and can be fired in a kitchen oven. Dollmakers and miniaturists were its primary users until its properties made it more accepted. Crafters, sculpters, jewellery designers, potters, ceramists, and miniaturists can all use this synthetic clay. This manual describes the techniques of polymer clay modelling, including fabricating millefiore (stained glass effects), mould making, replicating natural materials such as jade, malachite, and coral, and mimicking gold leaf and marbleized paper. It also covers creating faux "carved" or "woven" objects. The projects include earrings and bead bracelets, napkin rings and candlesticks, animal figurines, and a birdhouse.
