Great for beginners... August 24, 2007
I ordered this book to get a feel for Ms. Carlson's technique...very detailed instructions, many projects to choose from, overall a lovely start for anyone interested in sculpting fantasy figures.

I'm trying to learn how to sculpt & this book is very very easy to follow. I learned how to do the body armature very easily. It's very well written & easy to follow.

An excellent book. The pictures and instructions are clear and easy to understand. The projects are fun to do. I recommend this book for anyone interested in fantasy polymer clay creations.

A "Must-Have" when learning polymer clay techniques June 15, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I am new to sculpting and polymer clay. I bought this book as well as 3 others to help me learn techniques and basic "what do I do with this lump of clay?". I browsed thru all 4 when the books arrived and I still have NOT gone back to the other 3 books - after a week! This book is a joy to read. I've skipped around projects, browsed thru the beautiful pictures and checked out the "helpful hints" placed thru-out the book. Unlike many computer manuals and "Dummies" books, the hints in this book are REALLY useful. I can see myself referring back to this book for years to come - long after I feel I'm no longer a beginner. I am definitely going to purchase other books from Maureen Carlson. She's one of those people that is not only good at what she does, she's able to explain it without making it seem like she's a Mensa memeber OR that she is "talking down" to you. TEN stars!! If you want to hear any "cons" (to go with the above "pros") I'd say that I will not do most of the projects in the book. However I didn't buy it to learn other people's projects. I just want to learn how to do what I want to do. By reviewing her projects I'm learning what I need to do different aspects of mine.

This is a book full of ideas and inspiration to keep your mind just "Boggled " with ideas. Clearly shows step by step on 15 different projects from start to finish. Lots ideas and suggestions at the bottom of many pages from "Woodpecker Pete", (a character that will bring a smile to your face). I think anyone wanting to learn to sculpt will enjoy this book as much as I did!
