Creating Life-Like Figures in Polymer Clay

Katherine Dewey

Description:The sequel to Katherine Dewey's popular book "Creating Life-Like Animals in Polymer Clay", this time she pulls out all the stops to teach both novice and accomplished sculptors alike just how she creates the realistic figures she has been renowned for over her 30 year professional career. If you aspire to be a figurative sculptor or already are one, this is a book you must have. In her no-nonsense, show-how-it's-done teaching style, Katherine shows with more than 400 full color photos, detailed illustrations, and step-by-step instructions how to do it all. Her modeling methods are not complicated. Rather than relying on classical "muscle on bone" physiology, she teaches how to sculpt exquisite figurines in any scale using her simple appliqué approach. Her book teaches anyone how to sculpt realistic human figures, but there is much more between the covers of this 144 page resource. From selecting your clays, to making your own modeling tools, to proportioning your figures, posing, ethnic and gender subtleties, facial expressions and posing, costumes in clay, to finishing touches, Katherine teaches it all. As one early bird reviewer put it: "It's like having a master sculptor right here with me step by step".

Creative Ways With Polymer Clay

Dottie McMillan

Sterling

1402701136

Description:It's hard to believe that polymer clay--a bake-in-the-oven plasticized clay--is only 10 years old. Artists around the world almost immediately capitalized on its easy-to-fashion, malleable properties. At first, most products were jewelry--beads usually created to resemble Italian glass millefiori. After early experimentation, items morphed into decorative accessories as well. McMillan straddles both sides and has the added advantage of tapping into the different expertise and styles of a variety of practitioners. Techniques, too, have expanded, using older methods such as gilding and glazing and newly invented how-tos such as the Skinner blend (melded colors) and image transfers. Even better, crafters can pick from among 31 projects, ranging from traditional (Chinese good-luck lantern) to extraordinarily modern (tiny jointed teddy bear). Directions are adequate but would benefit from more illustrations. A gallery of artists at the end adds insight and inspiration. Barbara Jacobs

Steampunkery

Christi Friesen

CF Originals

Description:Steampunkery? What's that about? Well, start with 'steampunk'. 'Steampunk' is a look-- a sort of Victorian-era mad scientist-adventurer look- all clockwork gears and brassy bits, leathery straps, and even the occasional bit of lacey filigree. Now apply that look to polymer clay creativity and you have 'steampunkery'! a wonderful way to combine polymer clay sculpting tricks (like making a miniature leather strap complete with wire buckle and tiny little fake stiching) with embellishments of vintage pieces (like watch parts), found objects (like old pen nibs), and stuff you've got in your craft stash (like beads and paper scraps). Doesn't that sound like fun?!

There is a lot to enjoy in this book- a hinged heart pendant that opens to reveal it's inner workings, cute little steampunk critters (complete with goggles of course) and other fun stuff-- pendants, sculptures, wall pieces, even thing you can add to costumes, if you're into that sort of thing.

All the projects are presented step-by-step with lots of pictures and thorough explanations (with some silliness thrown in, just for fun). It doesn't matter what your skill level, the projects are challenging without being stressful, and structured without being confining. Plus there are lots of hints and creative nudgings to help keep your creative gears turning.

Faux Bone JewelryTools and Techniques

Robert Dancik

Description:Robert's DVD is the best way to learn how to work with Faux Bone™ if you have not been able to take a workshop with him. With sharp attention to detail, Robert covers the basics you need to get started!

About Faux BoneFaux Bone™ is a new, user friendly, inexpensive and extremely versatile material. Faux Bone™ can be cut, and carved, sawn and sanded. It can be filed, hammered, polished, drilled, stamped, riveted, inlayed, dyed, and painted. It can look like ivory, have the patina of aged ceramic, be polished to a pure white, or, of course, look like bone. You can heat and bend it with nothing more than a small embossing heat-gun. It is so strong you can rivet on it, die form right into it, or hammer metal around it. Faux Bone is perfect for artwork as varied as jewelry and book making, sculpture, or printmaking. It can be easily embossed to make texture plates for PMC and basket makers can use it to simulate Scrimshaw on the tops of Nantucket Baskets. Rounds of Faux Bone™ can be heated and dapped (formed into a bowl shape) and filled with other materials or combined to make hollow beads. Its strength makes it ideal for use in tool making such as bone folders for bookmaking or as handles for files and stamps. It can be carved and used for printmaking and then the Faux Bone™ "plate" can be patinated as a finished piece itself. And all of this is just the beginning!

Margene begins her instructions with armatures, the hidden frameworks, or "skeletons," of clay bodies. She explains the basics of building up lightweight yet strong frames using aluminum foil, tape and wire. An empty glass bottle becomes the basis for a figure's full-length skirt. For free-standing figures whose legs will be visible, florists' wire is used with foil for pose and for shape. Scrap clay forms the outer layers of these unseen armatures.
