This book is full of step-by-step instructions for those that want to delve into the world of polymer clay. Written by Lisa Pavelka, it covers everything from polymer clay basics (which clay should I use?) to Skinner blending, caning, and image transferring.
Each page is full of colorful examples for each tutorial (64 in all!) — lots of inspiration. Chapter Fourteen delves into “Projects You Can Make”, offering six independent tutorials that will utilize the skills you learned in the book. The end of the book is pure eye candy, with an Artist’s Gallery of finished work that is nothing short of breathtaking.
And now, you can WIN this book from me! Just leave a comment and I’ll draw a name on August 18th.
Lori Anderson makes jewelry for Lori Anderson Designs. She writes the blogs Pretty Things and An Artist’s Year Off.
