The Polymer Clay Techniques Book by Sue Heaser (1999, Paperback)

My husband purchased this for me for my birthday and I was instantly stunned by the excellent projects featured in this book. This book shows a very wide variety of techniques including bead making, box making, miniature food, miniature china, figurines, enameling, marbling and more. Techniques range from simple to exotic. The text includes a great primer on mixing colors, attributes of different clay brands, and useful clay tools.

I am very excited to try some of these techniques (some of which I didn't even know existed).

The only drawback of this book is that there is not much detail-by-detail instruction. The instructions provided, however, can be applied to several different projects.

I recommend this book to all who enjoy experimenting with polymer clay.
