...packed with so much information, humor, and love that the price seems so small. (Marie Segal )

About the Author

At an early age, Christi Friesen wandered into the jungle and was never heard from again. Perhaps she was raised by a panther or bear. Presumably, she is not dangerous. Author Resides-Tehachapi, Ca.

3.0 out of 5 stars Animals?, April 5, 2007

I am disappointed. The only animals covered are 1 bug, a tree sloth and a frog. It's primarily plants and leaves. So if you're hoping for animals, this is not it. Also, it is more of a substantial pamphlet than a book. Otherwise, it's okay.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Awesome Book from Christi!, July 23, 2006

As you can see from the title, I love this book. Although I am partial to dragons, I found doing the frog portion a boat load of fun. I also never thought that making leaves Christi's way would be so cool. I've made plenty of bugs in my day, but hers are simple, easy to adapt to your style and look really wild when you are done.
Her wonderful humor is sprinkled throughout and she offers many tips, techniques and projects. There is a whole lotta bang for your buck in her books!
Can't wait until October for her Sea Life one! Yep, we begged, she listened and is upping the delivery schedule... How cool is that?

Whether you are new to polymer clay or a seasoned pro you will enjoy the witty writing of Christi Friesen. The instructions and colorful illustrations will guide you to create OUTSTANDING creations! There is nothing better than incorporating beads and other objects into your sculptures. Christi will take your polymer clay experience to a whole new level. If you are looking for something different, something new... something exciting... then look no further as you have just found it. I have been working with polymer clay for 15 years and find Christi's style and work a refreshing "drink of water". Come one, come all... you will be thrilled by this 2nd book in the series.
