Though not dedicated entirely to polymer clay, this book will appeal to those who have an interest in both polymer clay and clock-making. Step-by-step instructions guide you through the creation of clocks made from everything from wood and scrap metal to paper bags, fabric, and of course polymer clay. A very brief introduction to polymer clay orients beginners to the basics, and a few words on caning give pointers on that technique. The following projects use polymer clay: Pressed Leaf Clock, Clay Rainbow, Clock of the Rising Sun, and Face of Faux Ivory. The designers of these projects include Irene Semanchuk Dean, Lynn B. Krucke, and Allison and Tracy Page Stilwell.
