Sure to delight miniaturists, this book teaches you how to create a variety of miniature polymer clay foods. Decorate your doll’s house or other miniature display with a bounty of fruits, vegetables, meats, baked goods, and seafood. After a brief introduction to the basic supplies and tools necessary, the projects begin on the eleventh page. Step-by-step instructions and photographs take you through each process. The author addresses color mixing, caning, texturing, inclusions, and more. Some projects call for non-clay materials (such as seeds, paint, lichen, or feathers), but the bulk of the projects are pure polymer clay. The mini food projects section of the book continues until page 102, followed by a section on market stalls and display items. Templates, line drawings, and step-by-step instructions guide you through the fabrication of attractive displays for your harvest of polymer clay goodies. These displays include a market stall and fruit crates made from wood, punnets made from paper, and polymer clay dishes. A comprehensive index makes it easy to quickly locate specific information. Drawing from the clever techniques presented in this book, you’ll be able to create a multitude of other foods, as well.
