Book Review: Why are you even thinking - just click `buy'!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've wanted this book ever since I read and loved `Life-Like Animals in Polymer Clay'. This book is comprehensive, simple to understand, and most importantly - interesting and fun to read!
The author is a talented artist, and a good instructor of her craft, as is demonstrated in both of her how-to books. She really knows her medium and how to show others how to use it.
I'd recommend this book as a good follow-on (for the more experienced polymer clay artist); beginners should start with books like `Clay Characters for Kids' or `How to Make Clay Characters' both by Maureen Carlson.
I'm an intermediate user of polymer clay - I've used it for a couple of years and it's not an easy material to get to grips with; I wouldn't say that a true beginner should start with a book like this unless they're a very quick learner. However I'd highly recommend they bought it and put it on their craft bookshelf for later!
The only downside is that you'll need to buy a lot of extras to go with this book: polymer clay obviously, but also a lot of modelling tools are mentioned in it that people new to clay might not have. The author is also very specific with her instructions about tools, and people new to the medium might not want to substitute tools right away. However, tools are fairly easy to get hold of, it's just something to be aware of when you buy this book.
`Life-Like Figures in Polymer Clay' is a great book, and I'm so glad it's come back into print!
