Combine the charm of miniature houses with the easy-to-use medium of polymer clay, and you've got a fun hobby everyone can enjoy! This book contains 12 delightful, hand-sized projects, starting with simple cottages and progressing to elaborate manors, a church, a grocery store and more. To help ensure great results, each project follows the same basic sequence of assemblage and includes detailed step-by-step illustrations, patterns, color-mixing recipes, and a photo of the finished house. You will also learn how to detail your villages with trees, flowers, fences, walkways and other special touches. Includes suggestions to help you create your own, unique variations--even miniatures of your own home!

Gail Ritchey, a professional craft designer since 1991, was selected as the grand prize winner of FIMO's "Jetting to Germany" contest. (Her winning design, "Hope's Place" is included in the book.) Ritchey lives in Birmingham, Alabama.
It is easy to think of polymer clay as glorified modeling clay, but as a serious craft medium it requires knowing some basic techniques, such as making multicolor canes. These are covered in great detail with excellent photos in Polymer Clay for the First Time. Beginners will find many of their questions answered in this book. After mastering the basics one can move on to complex projects such as miniature villages. The tiny houses in Ritchey's book are only several inches high and would be just right for a tabletop display or a small-gauge model railroad layout. Buildings include cottages, stores, a church, and a lighthouse. There are also instructions for making shrubbery and grounds. Both books are recommended for public library crafts collections.
