80 pages
The first few sections of the book introduce polymer clay and the basics of how it is used, so that even a beginner will be able to complete the projects. After a brief overview of a few fundamental techniques, the projects begin. These projects encompass a wide range of styles and techniques, from simple sculpting and a handful of ways to use colorful millefiore to glistening metal leaf mokume gane. A couple of special sections (and numerous "artist's tips" scattered throughout the book) illustrate how these projects can be adapted and combined to inspire unique objects of your own creation. The projects are all rated on a skill level scale of 1-3 stars, so you can gauge the difficulty of each before beginning it. Step-by-step instructions with clear, color photos guide you through each project.
