Kids are going to love this book - so many wonderful ideas for making their own gifts for family and friends. I think a lot of adults are going to like this book, too. Every project begins with simple steps, but the results are polished and beautiful.Thirty projects, lots of great basic info about colors, color mixing, making shapes, combining shapes, changing expressions, etc.Everything is illustrated in imaginative ways - even the basic color wheel is a whimsical thing.The elves are adorable and the dragon beautiful - a huge range of critters and creatures in between - all appear to be quite do-able.I think this would be a great book even for an adult who wants to try sculpting/modelling - you'll get some great inspiration from this! Plus, the "story-process" in the second half of the book is terrific and all the pictures are just gorgeous! :)Elizabeth
This was my first ever polymer clay book I was very pleased with it. It is suitable for the young or the young at heart. (Especially mothers with toddlers/young children, something to do on a rainy afternoon!)
Definitely a book to own for kids pc artist. You may not be able to recplicate 100%, but this book surely gives ideas to kids.Let me describe this way. My 7 year old native Chinese boy does not read English (yet), but he manages to create his versions of characters out of the book - just by looking at the pictures.We're going to build our story scenario out of our creations soon. I'm happy with my purchase.
Great book! This book is my favorite for learning step by step clay techniques. It gives you great ideas on material to use. Everything starts from a basic shape and this book clearly walks you through each shape and what you can make it into. Some items are a bit detailed and advanced but with the simple directions anything is possible with this book.
The author taught how to form shapes to make animals, fantasy characters, and other charming pieces. She told a story as she taught the making of each piece about a dragon and his scales, and all of his friends trying to find him and help him. Absolutely delightful start and unique way to teach an art lesson.
I bought this for my 11yr old who has been making his own clay creations for some time. While the title is "Clay Creations for Kids," it's not for kids to create. It's more fashioning creations kids would like. It is way too complicated for kids and only served to frustrate him and cause him to quit altogether. Thanks a lot.
Great resource book for building polymer clay characters. Got this for my 10 year old granddaughter and she got busy with it right away. Arrived as promised and adequately packaged. Worth the money.
Perfect for starting out with learning clay and techniques. So glad I got this. It explains how most everything made starts with one of five shapes and forms into what is needed. This is not just for Kids, trust me. It is for anyone starting out who knows nothing about the art of clay.
