A real inspiration!! - By: Carol Blackburn, 29 Sep 2007
Polymer clay artists are frequently inspired by other art forms -from fibre & metalwork to painting & sculpture. Judy shows how to turn inspiration into reality & just how versatile polymer clay is for this purpose.

Each chapter starts from a material-based art tradition, eg. glass, metal, wood, & develops the techniques associated with these craftsin concise, clearly explained projects. Each technique has a gallery of beautiful examples of both the source artforms, such as exquisite pieces of wood furniture, & several worksin polymer clay inspired by the material & sometimes combined with itin mixed media objects. Judy has selected her gallery artists with care - the best work by the best artists -dazzling! By illustrating high standards of design & execution, she places Polymer Clay on an equal footing with older art material traditions & demands that we keep aiming higher. For me this is the real inspirational effect of a great book. Well done, Judy Belcher.
