INSPIRATION! September 4, 2008
Although many wonderful polymer clay artists do not have pieces in this book (e.g. John Anderson's animals), the pieces/artists within the pages of this beautifully laid out book are truly insprirational. After doing a review on a recent book on polymer clay (PC) beads, I felt that I had to look through my other PC books and re-examined this treasure. No, it is not for beginners, and no there are no guidelines on how the artist made their piece(s), just a brief note on the title of the work, items used and maybe a few words by the artist on the piece. The photography of each piece is stunning. The creative process of PC artists today is utterly amazing and this book provides ideas on where one can go with their own work, if PC is the medium of choice. I also appreciate the pieces using other products in the piece (e.g. beads, metal, paper mache, feathers, wood, herbs, sand, etc.). PC canework by some of the artists is also incredible and trying to imagine how they came up with the pattern(s) is often mind-boggling. This makes an excellent coffee table book and for the PC artist, inspiration to strive towards excellency in this medium.

5 Stars for Inspiration! February 11, 2007

All of Larks 400 and 500 series books are not instructional: they are inspirational. This book showcases some of the best polymer work being done. I have pored over and over it for the past year and I never tire of looking at it!

Inspiration - Pure and Simple January 8, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

400 Polymer was my first purchase in this series by Lark, I simply call them my "Inspiration" books, each page draws a gasp as you realise the potential of this much maligned medium, if you had memories of Mum giving you a block of clay to "make and bake' some hideous item as a child, do yourself a favour and check out this book. You will be running to the craft shop to purchase clay and commence your journey. I am in awe of many of the artisans featured. I would like to see Lark list a little more on the artist, such as country of origin and also list the artists websites if they have them. No instructions, but you simply have to have it.
