The Polymer Clay Cookbook celebrates favorite foods with 20 tiny, deliciously realistic food charms to make from polymer clay and fashion into unique jewelry. Styled as a cookbook for the beginning miniaturist "chef," the introductory chapters discuss the "basic ingredients" and techniques used for polymer clay and jewelry-making. The remainder of the book offers 20 "recipes" grouped by category: fruits, breakfast, lunch and dinner, sweets and snacks, and holiday foods. Each recipe has a list of "ingredients," step-by-step directions with photographs, and suggested variations. Each piece is presented as a particular finished jewelry item, such as a necklace, but readers are encouraged to adapt the piece into any type of jewelry they choose. Each chapter also includes one of the authors' own cherished recipes for real food, including Sunday Morning Cinnamon Rolls, Grandma's Pasta Sauce, Decadent Raspberry Chocolate Cupcakes, and Mom's Holiday Sugar Cookies. Throughout, the authors--who are sisters--share their enthusiasm for family, sisterhood, and the tradition and feelings surrounding our favorite foods.

This review is from: The Polymer Clay Cookbook: Tiny Food Jewelry to Whip Up and Wear (Paperback)
While I am not currently interested in producing food designs with polymer clay, I am interested in learning more about working with polymer clay in general. I am a complete beginner. I found the background information about working with this substance, and the authors' advice about all aspects of the hobby, to be clear, straightforward, and extremely helpful. The recipe for making a hand-cleaning substance is easy, and sounds great. Kudos to the authors for the novice-friendly front section of the book. Although I haven't created any of the food pieces they include, these items are very realistic looking, but with a wonderful bit of whimsy.
