Synopsis:

Take it in your hand, roll it into a log, cut it, shape it, and bake it in a regular oven--that's how simple working with polymer clay can be. Yet, with this marvelous and versatile material you can make "jade" necklaces, bright and pretty Christmas ornaments, handles for a coordinated set of flatware, marbled surfaces, vases, and more. Filled with hundreds of close-up pictures, and instructions that start right at the very beginning with the basics of modeling and heating the clay safely, this technique and project-packed manual shows how to form different patterns (including dots, stripes, interweaving, and twirls) and use these designs to fashion everything from jewelry to practical houseware to stunning decorative items. Nothing could be easier or more fun.

Reviews: The library of interesting and colorful sources available for polymer clay enthusiasts continues to increase. Dean's book has tips and an interesting variety of projects for beginners, although techniques are not as detailed as in Syndee Holt's Polymer Clay for the First Time (LJ 6/15/00). Italian artist Resta emphasizes decorated tableware and household objects. A marbled egg project using real eggshells is particularly attractive. Both of these books are good additions to crafts collections needing more of this material.
