Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Food tends to be a neglected area in the miniature world, probably because it is usually unrealistic. Miniatures artist Scarr makes wonderfully realistic food from polymer clay (which should be kept away from small children). Her book is full of step-by-step projects for bakery goods, meats, fruits, and vegetables, all photographed in great detail. These pieces are intended for a miniature market stall project with awning and crates and can also be used in dollhouse kitchens and pantries. This useful book is certain to please in public library crafts collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars Her techniques work!, January 27, 2003
By Stell (Spring, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
I have many books for polymer clay, but Angie's techniques are among the best I've seen. Her instruction for caning was so well described that I created perfect lemons, oranges, and limes the first time, and all in one evening. She gave me so much confidence that I decided to try a more difficult project. I made the cutest crab tonight. I can't wait to do the other projects in this book. Angie's fish are without a doubt the most realistic I have seen anywhere; so, with the confidence she's given me, I plan to attempt one of these in the very near future. If you are interested in milafiori, I highly recommend this book. After you have completed her projects, you should have developed a working knowledge of this process. I hope that she writes other books. I also suggest that you look at her instructional videos. They are extremely helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars DETIAILED BEYOND BELIEF!, September 22, 2001
By Louise Hill (SCOTTSVILLE, KWAZULU NATAL South Africa) - See all my reviews
If you are into miniatures and polymer clay in particular, you HAVE to get this book! Angie sets such a high standard that your work becomes a work of art - admired by everyone! She starts with the bakery and deli stall (tarts, breakds, cakes, salami, pork pies and cheeses) to meat stalls (bacom, chops, poultry, beef...sausages) to fruit and veges (from potatoes to cucumbers with transluscent seeds to grapes), the fish stall and market display items. I have made the oranges and our Pitermaritzburg mini group found them amazing - with pith divisions etc.

Don't think you have to be a "pro to do the projects either - with patience they are easily attainable. A MUST - you wont be sorry!
