I am a craftin devil, by my husbands definition. I made thebest purchase of my craftin life last week, "Making MiniatureVillages in Polymer Clay". I started paging through it and couldn't believe the detailed photos and easy instructions. These designs are to die for, Sunny cottage is simply sweet, Hope's Place is dreamy, James' Place is masculine, and there are many more to numerous to mention, there is something for everyones. I could hardly wait to try my first one, which I started that night and was amazed at how easy it was. My husband looked through the book and couldn't believe I didn't pay more for such detail and instruction. I have bought similar books on polymer clay with not even half as much design, detail and instruction for twice the price. If you love polymer clay as much as I do, you won't be unhappy with this book.

As a beginner I was looking for a book that gave detailed instruction. I never thought that I would find such great instruction and pictures. This is a superb helper and will make my first attempts look like I have been using polymer clay for years. Author is to be commended for such fine and detailed instructions. I highly recommend this book.

This is another wonderfully illustrated how to book on polymer clay. The techniques are clearly outlined in text as well as pictures and each project brings a new and beautiful variation to the last. Together this will make a beautiful , wellmade, durable village that will elicit comments from your friends. The design elements can easily be applied to buildings of your choice , the possibilities are endless and the techiniques used will carry you thru many variations of your own chosing.

This book has great details and instructions in how to make miniature houses. It also was extreemly inspirational to go on from the author's instructions and create better and more detailed houses. I highly recommend this book.

I borrowed this from the library and had to buy it. I am waiting on its arrival impatiently. The details are great, the instructions are clear and the pictures couldnt be better. The only real problem I have is the pattern placements could be better. From the fourth project on, many of the pattern pieces are located near the spine, not the outer edge of the page, so they are difficult to photo copy, and even tracing a few is challenging. But I still think this problem is small and the book is well worth the money.

Whatever I was expecting when I bought this book, my expectations were blown away. I had only been working with Polymer clay for a year when I bought this book and I managed to make some pretty cute houses (as you can see in the customer images).

The instructions are easy to follow and the houses are easy to make, even if you don't have much experience with polymer clay.

I suggest tracing the templates and then transferring them onto cardboard labeled with the name of the house so that you can easily access them the next time you make that particular house.

If you like miniatures like I do, then this is an excellent book for you. Excellent pictures and good detail are provided. If you've done things with clay before or made gingerbread houses, so much the better; lots of the same type of detail involved. They really are quite small houses though they may not look like it, so make sure you understand that before purchasing this book. I love the book!

The item was priced reasonably, arrived quickly, well packaged. I'm happy with the transaction.
