[.ca] Fast Polymer Clay (ISBN 1581804504)

MUST HAVE BOOK FOR ANY CLAY ARTIST!:
Sue Heaser has done it again. This is a great book for anyone that works with polymer clay. The whole book is full of step-by-step instructions (with tons of color photos) for many small fast projects. The projects are whimsical in nature, but the information is very helpful. I've been working with and selling clay items for over 20 years and I found this book a wonderful addition to my collection of polymer clay books. I can't wait to see what Sue Heaser comes up with next.

Great Book For Any Clay Artist!:
This book is great. Sculpting is a great hobby and for some a great profession, but it can be very time consuming. This book takes the techniques that we all use and shows how to get the same result with a faster, more efficient way of doing it. A must have for any clay artist.

A great book for beginners:
"Fast Polymer Clay" is a book that I would recommend to all beginners. The first third of the book shows basic techniques for working with polymer clay. The instructions are simple and there plenty of pictures for each technique. The rest of the book is devoted to small, quick projects - projects that a beginner can do in an afternoon. They include some pieces of simple jewelry, little figures of people and animals, cards, fridge magnets, etc. Be aware that the projects are mostly cute and whimsical. Those with a taste for "sophisticated" crafts should look elsewhere for projects. I could only see one thing that would have made this book better - a discussion of the merits of various brands of clay. However, that omission doesn't really detract from the techniques presented. Overall, I would say that the book is very well done and I wouldn't hesitate to give it to a complete beginner!
