5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous, but fantasy means trolls here, August 30, 2005

Mark Twain "Gillian" (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Creating Fantasy Polymer Clay Characters: Step-by-Step Trolls, Wizards, Dragons, Knights, Skeletons, Santa, and More! (Paperback)

This book is gorgeous, with unique, detailed projects and explicit step-by-step directions. Just be forewaarned that it interprets fantasy to mean troll-like, so even Santa and the Easter bunny are trolls. I am therefore returning my copy, and just wanted to warn you what to expect. But it is an absolutely gorgeous, well-done book, and most people will love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant Book for all Ages, December 7, 2004

Jonathan Donehower (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Creating Fantasy Polymer Clay Characters: Step-by-Step Trolls, Wizards, Dragons, Knights, Skeletons, Santa, and More! (Paperback)

This was my first art project book I purchased, and I found this to be a great help. I enjoyed the projects and found them perfect for all ages, and got a kick out of creating my creatures. I appreciate how it is not about being exact but about creating ones own version of the critters. There is not right and wrong, which is great for a beginner. I found myself improving and though they didn't all turn out as the pictures in the book, I was happy with what I created. With the clever writing, I also found myself laughing while doing the projects. I highly recommend the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars What an imagination!, June 19, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Creating Fantasy Polymer Clay Characters: Step-by-Step Trolls, Wizards, Dragons, Knights, Skeletons, Santa, and More! (Paperback)

I've been seeing examples of this talented sculptor's work on the internet for several years, so when this book came out I snatched it up! I love the humorous, whimsical projects in this well-done book, and I love the free-spirited sculpting he does - detailed, yes, but not painstakingly precise - just plain fun. The result is that everyone, regardless of their previous sculpting experience (or inexperience), is tickled with their own clay "masterpiece." My favorite is the little dragon. Or maybe the Santa. What a hoot! :)
