5.0 out of 5 stars This book belongs in every miniaturist's DIY library!, November 28, 1998
By A Customer
I highly recommend this book. Loved it! Sue Heaser has written a do-it-yourself book that is worth its weight in ... golden polymer clay! She starts with the basic list of materials and how-to instructions, and explains their use in a clear manner. The projects include a wide range of items that will delight beginners and more experienced crafters alike. They range from the expected (such as fruits, vegetables, baked goods, meats, flowers, plants and small items), to the unexpected (including a bath complete with bathtub, toilet, sink, tiles, etc., there is also a kitchen range). In addition, there are utilitarian (pots and pans), delicate (china and tea sets), beautiful (tiffany style lamp), as well as whimsical (hobby horse, teddy bears, dolls) objects to create. The book is beautifully photographed, clearly illustrated and the instructions are very easy to follow. Ms. Heaser has witten a real winner, which will certainly pay for itself many times over with every creation you craft for your dollhouse, roombox, vignette, etc.! ... just one more thing. After doing some comparison shopping, I found that Amazon has the best price!

ArtWay (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making Doll's House Miniatures with Polymer Clay (Paperback)
This book is so full of good ideas for creating items in perfect scale for a dollhouse that I don't know where to start.

How to make your own tools and formers, making dishes and pots that are more realistically thin-walled than the commercially-available items, mimicking china, a ladies' vanity set, a desk set, baskets, metal, wood, flatware, foods, fireplace tools - even the kitchen sink! Way too many different items to name them all. If I was to be forced to give up all my dollhouse books but one, this would be the one I'd keep.

Excellent intro to using the clays - basic information. Trouble-shooting tips along the way.

And her videos are fabulous, too. :-)

This review is from: Making Doll's House Miniatures with Polymer Clay (Paperback)
I made myself a miniature drugstore since I am a pharmacist and I had trouble finding things like mortars and cylinders. Thanks to this book I managed to make the most beautiful look-alike mortars with pestles and all, also a little turn-of-the-century (last century, of course) telephone. The directions are precise and you can really get what you are looking for (and I had never touched polymer clay in my life!)
