Amazing Clay Flowers: Creating Realistic Flowers & Floral Arrangements Paperback – September 1, 2010

A book with good pictures, explanations, the whole process of sculpting the flower presented with maximum clarity, indicated even some clay and what color to take, then there is a book suitable for all skill levels. Chosen a very good set of flowers for sculpting. Master - many thanks.

I am so happy that I bought this book. This book is packed with awesome tutorials and tips for making clay flowers. I bought it to use with polymer clay as many of the ideas and tutorials can be done there too. But this book could be adapted for gum paste, sugar paste, fondant, polymer clay, air dry clay, cold porcelain, and more!

Lovely to look at but the photos are so small as to not be as instructional as larger, more clear photos would be. Most of these instructional photos are about 1” x 1.5” and that’s very small for instructions. However the small size does allow for more photos in the book. And, as others have said, changing to B&W in the back of the book is disappointing, especially when there is not enough contrast in the photo.That said, it IS detailed and one should be able to follow along, especially if you already have some clay experience. A beginner might be frustrated.

Amazing details in this book, I haven 't made anything from it. But it has clear instructions on how to make each flower. The only thing I wish it said on the book cover is that you don 't use polymeric clay. She uses resin clay.

This book popped up when I did a search for "polymer clay." The flowers looked pretty and realistic, so I bought it. Only when I received it did I find that she's working with RESIN clay -- a kind I have no experience with, and I'm happy with my polyclay and don't want to start over in another kind. The projects may be possible in polyclay, I haven't tried, but I wish it had been more obvious this is not the clay I work with and have invested quite a bit of my crafting budget in stocking up with.Any advice from resin clayers on the difference between resin & poly? Please leave comments for me if so. I know that resin clay air dries and some of it must be mixed, like liquid resin. Other than that, are the 2 clays similar when you work with them?

this is a great book easy to follow well done for me to create clay flowers love it. There is a lot of detail and how to get to making beautiful flowers. I want to encorperate them into making jewelery or just great floral arrangements

A wonderful read and filled with lovely content.

Well written with clear instructions and lots of photos.
