I am a beginner with polymer clay and I am an animal lover; I wanted to do animals; this book has helped me achieve my goal. I say the same thing I did with her other book; I HIGHLY recommend this book; it is worth having. She is a great artist and I love her work and her books.

A "Must Have" for Polymer Clay Enthusiasts,
By Lynette S. James (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creating Life-Like Animals in Polymer Clay (Paperback)
Katherine Dewey has worked magic with this book. The instructions are clear and thorough enough that a even a beginning sculptor would be able to create wonderful likenesses of the animals portrayed.For those more familiar with the aspects of polymer clay and sculpting, this book contains valuable information and techniques that may be applied to an artist's own work; thereby improving its strength and quality. Katherine's use of armatures and proportion is well explained and portrayed, making this book an excellent learning resource for beginning sculptors, as well as a superb reference tool for advanced sculptors.

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL,
This review is from: Creating Life-Like Animals in Polymer Clay (Paperback)
This book is so great. The step by step details were so well photographed, and so detailed. The animals are so cute and so life-like. Katherine has so many suggestions on tools, from making your own to purchasing them. This was my first attempt at realistic animals. I've all ready made three of the cutest little animals, and everyone is asking where I bought them. I LOVE this book!
