CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Great Dragons -
Wonderful book, great instructions, wonderful pictures was able to make a really great dragon the first time.
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
Very Good on Scupting with Polymer Clay but a bit less than expected. - 
While I did learn a bit from this book on sculpting dragons in polymer clay, I had hoped for a bit more than just the one dragon she sculpted for instruction. Although Christi Friesen offers a bit of extra instuction on different aspects of dragon sculpting, I believe she could have done a bit more in this 48 page book. Oh Well, I will say I enjoyed it and do recommend it to those who are fans of Ms. Friesen's type of art! A+
Dragons Lead to Addiction -
I discovered Christi Friesen through this book and dragons were the first step to the 'darkside'. As a potter with potter friends, I had heard the near-audible sniffs when I mentioned polyclay. "not real clay, don't cha know". I took a Polymer Clay Cruise in 2008, where Christi was one of the teachers, just to see if I could learn a few sculpture tricks. Well, I'm here to tell anyone that CF clay techniques transfer to "real clay" just fine. Potters, most likely, will find they have the tools already in their studio. And if you had the desire to work small, but found pottery clay a hard medium to use, please consider polyclay. A wee, bit of practice and you're good to go.
Humor, clear pictures, and precise instructions in the book will make "Here. There be dragons." a reality.
Cheers,
Shaun
Normal. Just a button on a dryer.
Dragons -
What can I say, Dragons are a figment of humans imagination, so how one decides a dragon looks can't really (fairly) be argued with. The dragon ideas here are Extremely cutsie and snake like in form. The instruction is very thorough, as long as your expecting cute! If your looking for a more sophistcated style, its not in here. But you could start here and grow it into your own.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
Not Quite as Expected -
As some reviewers already mentioned, this book gives wonderful photographs of the authors "signature style" with ideas for changes and creating your own unique style. The ideas truly are wonderful and whimsical. I didn't expect the dragons to be so flat though! I was expecting a true 3 dimensional sculpture-type dragon. Instead, the dragons are flat on one side. She does give some clever ideas for turning her flat dragons into nice (though large) focal beads.
