Making Animal Characters In Polymer Clay

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book!
Review: I am highly impressed with this book. The format of the book is easy to read. I'd imagine even a beginner would be able to work through it and create a sculpture as well. The photos are very high quality and detailed.

She supplies tips and suggestions for each project as well as patterns on completing each one in the book.

It's great for those anthro styled animals from fairy tales and cartoons.

Summary: Not as polished as it could be
Review: I checked this book out from the local library, as I do with most books before I purchase them.

While there are some interesting techniques for sculpting figures in this book, I found myself not wanting to make any of the animals presented. They appeared raw and somewhat unfinished to me.

Sherian Frey builds the animals bit by bit, using flattened sheets of clay cut out in the desired shapes. I found this method interesting. Overall, The instructions are well written and the pictures are helpful, but I do not reccommend the purchase of this book unless you really like what is on the cover.

Summary: Adorable characters and good instructions
Review: The characters are cute and interesting... the Dalmation in turnouts is adorable. The instructions appear to be easy to follow, and the projects are within anyone's reach, even beginners. Original style on new and old themes.
