Great Variety of Colorful and Fun Projects, Well Taught! June 26, 2006
8 out of 8 found this review helpful

GET CREATIVE WITH POLYMER CLAY is Emma Ralph's second book on the subject of crafting with polymer clay. As with her first book, the projects here are inventive, charming and terrific. Suitable for beginners as well as for more advanced clayers (check out the handy skill level which goes from one star to three to let you know how complicated a project is), the 17 superfun and interesting polymer clay offerings go from cards to jewelry to a beautiful Klimt inspired bottle, with variations you can make on many of the projects. For example, a card project with an adorable and colorful hat or handbag card made using polymer has a variation which is wonderful for the winter holidays, having glittery snowflakes adorning it.

There is a comprehensive section on the tools and items which is helpful to get started using polymer clay. Personally, I particularly liked the commentary on characteristics of the specific clays themselves. I have never seen the varieties of clays from the different companies so well analyzed as to their strengths and weaknesses. It is EXTREMELY helpful to know things like this when you are making a project, if you are a beginner. There is also a section at the front on techniques. At the back, there are templates for certain projects in the book.

In reading the book, the first project I would choose personally would be the faux enamelled bracelet. It is beautiful and sophisticated. As a jewelry designer, I found it fascinating and lovely to look at.

The other, simpler projects hold their own as well however, and the colors you can get from properly mixed polymer clay are stunning! Another reason why it is great to have a teacher who knows what she is talking about. It is a book you will want to go back to again and again as a reference guide, as well.

Your imagination can really take off with this inspiring book. The author is one of the top polymer clay bead makers internationally. She has once again produced a book which, from start to finish, is a really great read, and makes you want to get going on the projects you find most appealing right away!
