 Get this book. February 20, 1999
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
A few months ago, this book seemed to be out of print. I thought the publishers had perhaps gone insane or been incarcerated for tax evasion.Evidently it was temporary insanity or false charges. But get this book now, before it vanishes again. Fabulous ideas, clear directions, and an inspiration for other work.

I highly recommend this book. Loved it! Sue Heaser has written a do-it-yourself book that is worth its weight in ... golden polymer clay! She starts with the basic list of materials and how-to instructions, and explains their use in a clear manner. The projects include a wide range of items that will delight beginners and more experienced crafters alike. They range from the expected (such as fruits, vegetables, baked goods, meats, flowers, plants and small items), to the unexpected (including a bath complete with bathtub, toilet, sink, tiles, etc., there is also a kitchen range). In addition, there are utilitarian (pots and pans), delicate (china and tea sets), beautiful (tiffany style lamp), as well as whimsical (hobby horse, teddy bears, dolls) objects to create. The book is beautifully photographed, clearly illustrated and the instructions are very easy to follow. Ms. Heaser has witten a real winner, which will certainly pay for itself many times over with every creation you craft for your dollhouse, roombox, vignette, etc.! ... just one more thing. After doing some comparison shopping, I found that Amazon has the best price!

This book has just about everything you wanted to know about working with polymer clays in the 1:12inch scale. Projects range from the beginner to the more advanced and include a wide variety of items: food, plants, furniture, toys, bathroom fixtures, lamps, etc. Techniques are well explained and the photos are beautiful. An excellent book for the miniaturist craftsman to own.
