The Polymer Clay Cookbook: Tiny Food Jewelry to Whip Up and Wear

The beginning section of this book makes it very clear on how to start out with working with Polymer Clay. The authors don't drag on, and many pictures (which clears up details) are provided. If you buy this book as a beginner, I highly recommend not skipping to the projects, and even reading the troubleshooting part. They also put in a "safety" note about baking the clay, which I was glad to have.The projects seem simple, but have some great tips if you're just starting out, like different ways to mix clay colors, and how to make each project a charm. However, the projects don't show you how to make really detailed "food." It would be simple to expand on what the book provides, but if you're already experienced with polymer clay then you might not learn anything new.

Lots of cute ideas in this book, well explained and illustrated.

I really loved this book! When I bought it I was so excited! I was a complete beginner and the pictures are great! They show you everything step by step! And everything is just SO cute! I'm practicing every day and, as soon as I master it, I am planning to sell them on the web! I also LOVE how the book has a life size ball of clay (printed oon the page)that you need for each project (in each color needed). GREAT for beginners or people who want to improve and learn more!! The only thing I didnt like was the part of the book that explains how to attatch hardware(headpins,eyepins,wire,etc). And that was because I have watched MANY tutorials on YouTube (another great source on how to make charms:)!!)and they simply just get the wire, fold it over, stick it into the charm, and put crazy glue so it will stay there. The headpins can be pretty pricey, so I prefer the wire method better. But other than that I <3 this book 100%!!! :) I'm soo happy with it and would deffinatly recomend it to a fellow craft buddy or buy it again!!

I think this is a cute book and gives me inspirations tomake my own charms. It just sucks that their creations are not 100% realistic looking. for example, the taco is fine but the burger looks too much like a toy burger because there is not a lot of texturing. but we can always add that in ourselves. Other than little things like that, i think the book is really cute! i'll be flipping through it often =]

My little grand-daughter has been "squishing" and "mooshing" my clay for quite some time now so I ordered this book thinking it might take her to the next level of being able to make something pretty and useful that she could be proud of.I own many polymer books but this one is a pure delight! The first chapters explain various clays, tools, coloring and basic techniques in a way that's informative without a lot of gobbly-gook. Then it's "on to the cooking!" My grand-daughter is only a "beginner reader" but she was able to understand most of the instructions with minimal help because they are detailed and easy to follow with each step phtographed as clear as I've ever seen! (Koodo's to the photographer!) At the end of the day we were both thrilled with the charm bracelet she had made "all by herself" and... well,it was one of those days that memories are made of!PLUS, as soon as she was out the door I was popping out bracelets of my own for family and friends and having a grand time of it.Experianced clayers or "newbys" will enjoy this book

This is hands down my favorite polymer clay book. I learned so much from this book and I really improved my skills. I learned tips about storing clay, baking clay, sculpting, adding texture/details, etc. I highly recommend this book.

I LOVE this little book!If you only get one book on this subject THIS is the one to get.I have recently bought five different books on this same subject - none of them was as nice as this one. It is is so simple to understand.The well written instrucitons are clear and easy to follow - even if you have absolutely no background in this medium (I am a total novice, and I understood!). There are beautifully done photos .Some of the other books offer final products which are disappointing - they end up plooking like they were made by grade school students.Every single one of these projects is really really cool - something with a high resale potential.I highly recommend this book.

I used this book to make my first pie for my miniature bakery. The method was simple for the pumpkin pie. Almost everything in the book can be used to make the miniature food for miniature uses as well as charms on jewelry.

Många bra tips och idéer samt tydliga instruktioner

Magnífico. Adorei tudo, as ideias a encadernação, o papel. Muito bom mesmo

love the book and it is very detailed even the inexperienced can do great things

Libro que puede ser un buen tutorial, con muchas fotos y descripciones paso a paso. La pena es que viene escrito en inglés.

Habe mir insgesamt drei Bücher über Polymer Clay gekauft, aber das hier ist der Hammer!Super-ausführliche Einleitung, Materialkunde, Grundtechniken etc. Unglaublich viele bebilderte Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitungen kleine, süße "Leckereien" für Ketten, Ohrringe, Ringe. Es gibt so viele Variationen, daß man sich nicht genau an eine Anleitung halten muß.Habe mir jetzt erst mein Material gekauft, so daß ich noch keine Ergebnisse beschreiben kann, aber mit diesem Buch sollte das kein Problem sein.Ein bißchen (oder auch mehr) englisch sollte man allerdings können.
