Book Overview
Unique creations by top artists such as Nan Roche, Cynthia Toops, Barbara McGuire, and Gwen Gibson make this the best showcase of polymer clay work ever assembled. With everything from jewelry and vessels to art dolls and sculptures displayed in superb color photos, the versatility and beauty of the medium is exquisitely evident. Mosaics, millefiori, canework, and molded, stamped, and embossed pieces: there's a little bit of everthing to please the eye. Dayle Dorowshaw's magical Egyptian Spell Book features carvings and image transfers that blend seamlessly with gold leaf, candles, branches, and silver. Luann Udell's faux-ivory artifacts take their inspiration from the prehistoric art in France's Lascaux Caves. It's the largest--and finest--book of contemporary polymer art available anywhere.

5 Stars for Inspiration!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
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!
An endless source of inspiration

One word: Stunning! Don't look for instructions, there are none. This book is an introduction to the endless possibilities of polymer clay as a medium of artistic expression. It showcases the work of master craftsmen way out of reach of beginners. There are countless how-to books for the later. Learn the art in small steps and keep this book both for inspiration and aspiration.

All Pictures, Full Color! No Black and White Photos Here!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
The book was surprisingly thick for the small cost it's being sold for. All the pictures are full color. No black and white photos. Images are large enough to see detail so you can learn new techniques and get ideas for your own projects. Overall, I'd say this book is a winner!
Stunning book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book is a stunning gallery of what all is possible in polymer clay. I do have two of my own pieces on this book, and it is a huge thrill to be included in this book. This is a must have book for anyone who loves creating stuff from polymerclay. There are jewelry pieces, sculptures, wallpieces... Items vary from usefull to art pieces. This book probably has examples of any techniques that have so far been used with polymerclay. Really interesting, highly entertaining and very inspiring book.
