Summary: 5 Stars
The book was wonderful and the seller was fair and fast to ship I am very pleased with this bookBook Review: Katherine Dewey is a fabulous sculptor
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is great for anyone interested in sculpting with polymer clay.
Katherine Deweys instructions are fairly easy to follow, the only thing that confused me was that you sometimes can't tell from the photos, which way she's holding the clay. (So you're not sure where to place your appliques).
None the less it is a great book for beginners and amateurs alike, and I would definately recommend it.
I would have liked to see some basic patterns for some different animals, perhaps some more common in other parts of the world, seeing as we don't really get any of those specific animals here in Australia. (I wanted to make a dog!)
Book Review: Creating Animals
Summary: 4 Stars
Katherine Dewey is a FABULOUS clay artist. I've bought all of her books.
The instructions are excellent; however, I took one point off for not
going into more detail on how to create the aluminum armatures. Scrunching up
aluminum foil is not as easy as one might think. Newbies like me need
as much idiot-proofing as we can get.
I guess I'll be going thru a few boxes of tin foil before I get an armature right.
I just hope I can get one to look like a characature of her art.
Book Review: Creating Life-Like Animals in Polymer Clay by Katherine Dewey
Summary: 3 Stars
My 1st book by Katherine Dewey -Creating Lifelike Figures in Poymer Clay, was absolutely fantastic. When I learned she had written a book on Creating Lifelike Animals,I couldn't wait to get that one too!! She explained proportions of the body to assimilate each animal. It was like starting with a skelton,then adding muscles, and fur.
The infomation on how to make tools for sculpting, was greatly appreciated. I only wished the coloration infomation was more truer to an animal. This is a great book for sculpting animals. I highly recommended it to anyone who loves to create animals.
