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.

A great beginner's book for making fun!

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2016

Verified Purchase

I love it. Admittedly it's more of a beginner's book on how to sculpt, it's still enjoyable enough that it's fine. And a refresher is never a bad thing.
It carries techniques I hadn't thought of as well as giving the reader something quick and fun to try with out feeling pressured about their abilities. Even if the best you could manage was a lopsided ashtray for your granddad as a kid, this book gives you a great leg up to doing cute and fun projects that will help you learn to do better and making things you won't feel the least bit embarrassed about admitting you made them.

By Far BEST book on this subject.

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2014

Verified Purchase

I LOVE this little book!
If you only get one book on this subject THIS is the one to get.
I have recently bought five different books on this same subject - none of them was as nice as this one. It is is so simple to understand.
The well written instrucitons are clear and easy to follow - even if you have absolutely no background in this medium (I am a total novice, and I understood!). There are beautifully done photos .

Some of the other books offer final products which are disappointing - they end up plooking like they were made by grade school students.
Every single one of these projects is really really cool - something with a high resale potential.

I highly recommend this book.

This is a must have

I've been working with polymer clay for about 20 years and I have purchased over 100 books on polymer clay, some good, some bad. This is one f the better books that I have purchased. This instructions are very clear and are step-by-step, with photos. What I found really wonderful about this book was the fact that the author added recipes to go with the items she made in clay. Like she made cinnamon roll earrings and with that she added an actual cinnamon roll recipe. There are many other recipes that coincide with the polymer clay items in the book. All around a beautifully written book.

This is the perfect book for anyone getting into polymer clay.

Not only do you get some great "recipes" for making some cute food items, but you get a great introduction to the tools used to make them.

I was into bead making, with polymer clay, years ago. Coming back to the hobby I decided to peruse Youtube and found that I was out of the loop. What is this chalk stuff they are using to color with and what are those tools called? This book has you covered!

This is a great book to read. I gave it 5 star because I love it has almost each explanation illustrated with great pictures. The pictures look so amazing that even if you get kind of discourage when reading the book thinking is too hard to do, the pictures will get you there. The pictures inspires you too continue so you can see the great results and great ideas comes to your mind while making your projects. It has a lot of information about the materials to use and why using those. The artist also explaing in detail how and what she uses to give different kind of textures to the clay. Great for everyone. I love to work with my daughter who is 9 years old.

Daughter's New Favorite Book

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

My 10 year old daughter is really into making anything and everything with clay. She has recently been making clay foods and this book has taught her so much. She is very smart for her age and this book gives her small challenges. It has tons of different food how-tos, has pictures on every one, not overwhelming but not elementary. She loves this book and so do I. Also lists everything you need for every project. We will definitely buy any other books from this company.

Easy to make adorable charms

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2013

Verified Purchase

Easy to follow instructions, lovely photos and a great beginners introduction to polymer clay in the front of the book. The style of work reminds me of some of the cute Japanese miniature food toys and doll sets that are so hard to get in the US. With this book you can start making you own, be if for doll dioramas or jewelry (as shown in the book). It is a great book to show people who have a fear of polymer clay, the ideas are so cute they will want to try making a few. :)

So glad i bought this book!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2011

Verified Purchase

I bought several polymer clay books online and I have to say that this is my favorite. I am a beginner and what i like most about this book is that everything is written in a step-by-step format with pictures, and that they start out each project with a reasonable amount of clay so you're not wasting a fortune. Other books that I bought online for polymer clay miniatures, start out with giant amounts of clay which is ridiculously expensive to make.
This book is fun, well written, and teaches you how to wear your creations....what's cuter than ice cream cone earrings???

E' un libro molto ben fatto, molto ben descritto con foto e autoesplicativo. Da' molti suggerimenti utili soprattutto per chi si dedica da poco alle paste polimeriche. I progetti sono molto belli. Ho realizzato molti braccialetti con i soggetti proposti che hanno riscosso molto successo. Lo consiglio vivamente.

It's a very good book, good descriptions with lots of pictures as examples. It provides several useful tips especially for beginners. The proposed projects are very nice. I've made several bracelets with these subjects that had great success. I really suggest it.

Dieses Buch ist der Hammer!

Reviewed in Germany on November 29, 2013

Verified Purchase

Habe mir insgesamt drei Bücher über Polymer Clay gekauft, aber das hier ist der Hammer!
Super-ausführliche Einleitung, Materialkunde, Grundtechniken etc. Unglaublich viele bebilderte Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitungen kleine, süße "Leckereien" für Ketten, Ohrringe, Ringe. Es gibt so viele Variationen, daß man sich nicht genau an eine Anleitung halten muß.
Habe mir jetzt erst mein Material gekauft, so daß ich noch keine Ergebnisse beschreiben kann, aber mit diesem Buch sollte das kein Problem sein.
Ein bißchen (oder auch mehr) englisch sollte man allerdings können.

Bin alles in allem zufrieden

Reviewed in Germany on July 23, 2013

Verified Purchase

Das Buch ist nicht schlecht. Ich bin ein vollkommener Fimo-Neuling und kam mit dem Buch auf Anhieb gut klar. Es sind Dinge zu Techniken und auch zum Schmuckbasteln erklärt, das hat mir gut gefallen.
Auch die Ideen, die im Buch gezeigt werden, haben mir an sich ganz gut gefallen, nur man merkt das es kein deutsches Buch ist. Mit den gezeigten Feiermtagssüßigkeiten kann ich persönlich nichts anfangen. Auch sind die gewählten Motive zwar schön und verständlich erklärt (also mir reichen die Bilder um auch ohne riesige Englischkenntnisse alles zu verstehen) aber die Auswahl der Motive an sich ist sehr gewöhnlich und nichts wirklich besonderes dabei.

Aber als Anfänger erhält man einen guten Einblick in Techniken und wie sich mit Fimo arbeiten lässt :) Ich würde das Buch wieder kaufen!
