Description
Polymer clay is the most interesting new craft material to appear in the last 30 years. And now it has developed way beyond flowery beads and bubble gum-pink napkin rings! This introduction by a first-rate authority covers the basics - buying polymer clay, blending and baking it - as well as the beautiful canework that has dominated the craft up til now. But the best part of the book - the part that will appeal even to jaded polymer artists - is the emphasis on the new techniques being used today. Such as...? Photo transfer - a marriage of photocopier and liquid polymer clay; Skinner blend - a delicately granded rainbow blend of clay; Mokume gane - a Japanese metalworking technique, adapted for polymer clay; Marbling Advanced canework techniques Faux natural materials; Molds; Weekend Crafter series: learn the techniques and finish the projects in just a few days. The series now covers 16 different craft subjects; 20 projects: from clocks to fan pulls, bookmarks to jewellery, picture frames to glittery pens; In full colour: 188 full colour step-by-step photographs
