CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
The most stunning book! -
I've been able to read newspapers since I was three, and this is one of my all-time favorite books, right beside childhood books like "The Mouse and the Motorcycle," "A bargain for Francis," and as a grown-up, Robert Bloch's "Psycho," (yes, where the movie came from--brilliant writing!!!)...Just flipping through this book is a complete rush.
However, be fully ready to be buying a GREAT deal of polymer clay at $1.00 for the sucky, cheap kind (the colors aren't quite right, black is more grey, red is pink, so on) to $2.50 for the good stuff--PER PACKAGE. Skip it if you can't see the color through the plastic.
If you can find this through the library, you'll see what I mean; there's lots of colors involved for most things. Also, buy 2x as much translucent, you'll be using it for nearly everything. It gives the food a very lifelike sort of look. Less "clay-like," if you will.
Also, if you have a sensitive nose or asthma, please be aware this stuff stinks a bit while baking--I like a lot of air doing this and you can't place the unbaked clay on anything you eventually plan to eat on--use the backs of your cutting boards/baking sheets, and so on. I bake it at 250 degrees and I'm careful NOT to burn it--it's VERY toxic if you do; it says on some of the packages. It goes w/o saying that you want tight, surgical gloves to play with this stuff if you can find them--whatever you can't eat by proxy, you probably don't want on your skin; and eventually into your bloodstream. Gloves also help keep the clay clean; hard to do otherwise.
For very small things, you can spray them with railroad hobby "Scenic Glue." It makes stuff shiny like varnish, AND it stays sticky, so tiny stuff won't roll onto the floor, never to be seen again. Also had good luck with spray varnish for tomatoes, which of course, dries glass-like and non-sticky.
A very exciting book!! You'll love it. Seriously looking forward to her next book coming soon!

Great book, a real must-have -
I am an experienced miniaturist of many years, and I checked this book out at the public library first to see if I wanted to get it. I thought it was fantastic, so I bought it from Amazon. These foods are largely universal although the Englishness of a couple of them is interesting, like the pork pie. I appreciated the instructions on how to do polymer clay seafood (where else can you find directions on how to make a fish skeleton with a fishhead attached??), and I also liked the instructions on how to make mini dishware to go with the foods.
Miniature Food from Clay -
This book is useful not only for polymer clay, but also for making miniature food from paper clay. Of course not all projects can be made from paper clay, like orange or lemon, but there are many other fruits, vegetables, bread and meat that can be made with paper clay from this book. There are many projects here, and the explanation is very clear, with many detailed photos and instructions.
A book both for beginner and the more advanced one.
Move over Re Ment! -
Get this book while you can! My dolls have a kitchen full of Re Ment minature food but they have a distinct lack of what this book offers, English food. There's little chance they'll be making plastic pork pies any time soon so armed with a bit of polymer clay you can finally make all meat and potatoes your dolls can eat, not to mention produce, and some of the most beautiful fish I've ever seen. I was about to get rid of my polymer clay until this book came in. Even if you have some of the Japanese or Chinese dollhouse books you'll still need this to round out your menus.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
BEST BOOK ON POLYMER CLAY! -
Incredible step by step instructions, vivid and beautiful pictures, you can't make a mistake! THE DETAIL IS SO INCREDIBLE AND EASY you won't believe it's made of polymer clay. Angie Scarr is an amazing artist and an incredibly nice person! I can't wait for her new book to come out, I have two copies on pre-order, one to save and one to wear out. AN ABSOLUTE MUST
BOOK FOR THE POLYMER CLAY ENTHUSIAST!!!
