Totally Cool Polymer Clay Projects by Marie Browning
Polymer clay is cool...That's what your children and pupils will say whenever they finish a polymer clay project. This versatile material is easy to model, it comes in rainbow colours, and you you can bake it at home in an ordinary oven so that it becomes solid, waterproof and durable enough to stand up under rough wear and tear. With colourful easy-to-use polymer clay and these exciting projects, kids will experience the creative pride of making their own beautiful crafts: Funny Faces; Beads and Jewellery; Bookmarks; Biscuit Cutter Fun; Bugs; Clay Mosaics; Sticky Notebooks; Marbled Magic Wand; Picture Frames; Speaking Stones; Ancient Pots; African-style Masks. This work teaches all the basic craft techniques necessary: understanding polymer clay; tools; decorating clay; creative supplies; about colour; basic techniques; and What is polymer clay? Unlike water-based clays, this man-made material remains soft and pliable virtually indefinitely - until it is fired at the temperature of an ordinary home oven. It was created for dollmaking in the 20th century, and it is the perfect material for crafters.
