Stamping; Polymer Clay & Wire

Stamping; Polymer Clay and Wire

Stamping; Polymer Clay & Wire

By Cheryl Nemanich and others
Published by Design Originals (a CanDo Crafts booklet)

    • Good variety of projects packed into a budget book
    • Perfect for stampers who like working with polymer clay
    • Will appeal to those who are into metallic or iridescent finishes

    You’ll find lots of jewelry projects, here, including three variations on art doll brooches. There’s a project for making window cling transfers and instructions on covering tins with clay then decorating them. I like the polymer clay postcards and the natural stone look beads. Many of the projects have a metallic sheen. If you are a fan of metal leaf, foil, Rub ‘n Buff or Pearl Ex Powders, this book will be right up your alley.

While all projects involve stamping and polymer clay, apart from jewelry findings, wire features as a decorative item in only 4 of the 20 projects, so the title is a tad misleading. The book also skims over basic information about working with polymer clay, so if you are a total newbie to this product, you might find it confusing at times.
