Create Anything With Clay Review

I wanted to mention a little omething about the reader wndering about page 5 in this book. The writing does stop in mid - sentence but if you want to know how long to bake, just read the individual instructions for each craft and you will find the exact baking time for your project.
I would strongly suggest anyone who would like to work with polymer clay to buy this book! There are plenty of wonderful projects to keep anyone busy for a long time. If you run out of clay, most local craft stores will carry more - either Sculpey III or other sculpey brands like Presto which is just about the same. Buy this book and enjoy!

Clay Characters for Kids Review

Kids are going to love this book - so many wonderful ideas for making their own gifts for family and friends. I think a lot of adults are going to like this book, too. Every project begins with simple steps, but the results are polished and beautiful.
Thirty projects, lots of great basic info about colors, color mixing, making shapes, combining shapes, changing expressions, etc.
Everything is illustrated in imaginative ways - even the basic color wheel is a whimsical thing.
The elves are adorable and the dragon beautiful - a huge range of critters and creatures in between - all appear to be quite do-able.
I think this would be a great book even for an adult who wants to try sculpting/modelling - you'll get some great inspiration from this! Plus, the "story-process" in the second half of the book is terrific and all the pictures are just gorgeous! :)

North Light's popular polymer clay series capitalises on the desire of children and parents for easy, interesting, creative activities to do at home. Kids will learn how to create all sorts of fun characters, ranging from simple to more detailed fantasy characters. The projects are organised around a story line, making the book more appealing as well as educational. Children aged 6-12 will find much of interest in this book, and should have no trouble completing all of the projects on their own. The materials involved are easily obtained and with step-by-step photos, are easy to assemble. Teachers, and activity leaders who are looking for new art and craft activities will also find appeal in this book.

Clay Modeling With Pooh (Learn and Grow) Review

Clay Modeling With Pooh (Learn and Grow)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
ISBN 0786832231 - The title is really a very poor choice. There had to be at least a handful of options that wouldn't have made it sound like modeling with pooh, rather than modeling with Pooh. Winnie the Pooh and his friends have been a favorite for generations and playing with clay, which is included, is right up there, too.
Pooh and Piglet are playing with clay and showing the reader how to make various things with it. First, the colors you can create by mixing two colors together are shown. Then the fun starts as Pooh makes clay models of his friends, a honey pot and more.
Included with the book, you'll get some clay and cookie cutter-like mold of Pooh. If you get a used copy, it's not complete without those! Author Laura Torres does a decent job of explaining, step by step, how to make the models that Pooh makes in the illustrations by Frances Rigol. Rigol's works are flawless Pooh and Friends. The book is most appropriate for use by older kids, who can read and follow the directions without too much assistance (or the desire to try eating the clay). The clay, they say in the book, will not harden. I find this very unlikely, but have no intention of keeping it long enough to find out. They follow up this claim with a suggestion that you keep it in an airtight container.
