Polymer clay is today's crafters' medium of choice. Here's how to get started with this marvelous material. Take it in your hand, roll it into a log, cut it, shape it, and bake it in a regular oven; that's how simple it is to work with popular, versatile polymer clay. Filled with hundreds of close-up color photos, this technique and project-packed manual provides instructions that start right at the very beginning with the basics of modeling and heating the clay safely. See how to form different patterns (including dots, stripes, interweaving, and twirls); mix techniques; and fashion everything from jewelry to practical housewares to stunning decorative items. Make 'jade' and 'coral' necklaces, bright and pretty Christmas ornaments, handles for a set of flatware, marbled surfaces, vases, frames, and more. You can even transpose a photographic image onto the clay. Nothing could be easier or more fun.
