5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Book!!!, September 9, 2004
This review is from: Food Displays (Dolls House Do-It-Yourself) (Paperback)
This book is great for those who are fascinated with the art of making miniature food. Sue Heaser explains things clearly and tells you what products to use to get that "professional look". Good sized pictures make it easier to understand the steps involved in creating miniature food using different types of mediums. Check out Sue's other great books. She's definately tallented when it comes to sculpting with polymer clay and teaching others how to do the same.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Addition to Your Miniature Library, September 24, 2005

This review is from: Food Displays (Dolls House Do-It-Yourself) (Paperback)
This is an excellent resource book for miniaturists. Contains some different and fresh ideas other books of a similar nature do not have. My only criticism is that the step-by-step photos could be larger. Otherwise, a very good, thought-provoking publication.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another must-have for beginners and enthusiasts alike!, March 11, 2007
This review is from: Food Displays (Dolls House Do-It-Yourself) (Paperback)
A great book! This book's main strength is that it clearly shows the author's techniques for creating different colors and textures with polymer clay that are seen in real food. Appealing to beginners, the book covers the basics of working with polymer clay, including mixing colors and which tools you'll need. The book also shows techniques for making dishes and even cutting boards from which to display your work. Truly a must-have for the budget-conscious beginner or enthusiast!
