A project book for all skill levels. Step-by-step pictures combined with detailed and humorous instructions keep the pace quick and the excitement level high. Steampunk look combines a Victorian-era sense of romance with a clockwork mechanical-ness. This book adapts those characteristics to polymer clay creations and offers projects that are sophisticated yet playful, challenging without being difficult. This eighth book by well-known author/artist Christi Friesen is her best yet!

I'm a big fan of Christi Friesen. When I decided to try my hand at polymer clay, it was her dragon book that I started with. Her books are so easy to follow. Even with me being a beginner, I felt like a pro when I was done. Her instructions are easy and fun. I ended up buying all her books but still the Dragons book was hands down my favorite. Then came along Steampunkery. It's chocked full of ideas, still has Christi's wit, and even displays other artists work. I had so much fun with this book. Her ideas are endless. I didn't know much about Steampunk until I saw it on her website. I immediately fell in love. Now I'm becoming a Steampunk fanatic. Even if you don't care for Steampunk, this book is full of ideas that you can makeshift into your own work of art. If you like Steampunk, Christi's other books or just having fun with polymer clay... I highly recommend this book!

I fell in love with Christi's style when I saw her dragons...and I bought every book she had at the time, and have bought every book as she finishes them. Steampunkery is just as wonderful as her other...heck better since it's bigger! Her easy going teaching style, with loads of tips and laughs make just reading the book sheer joy. The projects are fantastic. This book is a great investment even if *gasp* you don't like Steampunk...the project in it could easily be made without the gears, and bit and bobs and they would turn out wonderfully!

This is the newest polymer clay book by Christi Friesen. It's a little different from the beyond series that she does, in that you use mixed media(for the steampunk parts). The projects are shown step by step and are easily doable. A few of my favorites are the dragonfly, chameleon, and the "sea-thru" pendant with the steampunk fish. There are about 9 projects in this book total, plus tips and ideas. and wit..don't forget wit! This book was just plain fun to look at. I have all of the author's books and i love every one of them!
