Create Anything With Clay
This combination book and Sculpey clay kit has everything needed to "Create Anything With Clay."
Did you know you can furnish an entire dollhouse with just clay? How about making greeting cards, jewelry, puppets, picture frames, tiny gift boxes, snow globes and more all with clay? Well, you can and this book shows you how. Klutz lays out everything you need to know to create original sculptures with Sculpey clay.
Starting with the "Absolute Basics," learn about storage, kinds of clay, how to use it, safety issues (don't eat it), how much to use, how to make basic shapes and how to make non-clay add-ons. It also has some really good hints, like using foil to fill in your creations so you don't use so much clay and how to shine the clay after baking.
The "Stuff and Tools" section teaches you how to add finishing touches on your sculptures using common household items like paper clips for adding tiny dots, paint brush tips for making bigger dots and cookie cutters for specific shapes.
A clay color wheel illustrates how to use different color combinations of the provided 8 colors to create up to 4,372,114 new colors.
The 58-page book is full of actual photos of completed projects with step-by-step instructions on how to duplicate them with your own two hands. Sections include Frogs, Rain Forest, Dollhouse Furniture, Bears and Birds just to name a few.
Children love to work with their hands and creating something out of a block of clay will be fulfilling to all who try it. Kids 6 and up will be able craft most of the creations in the book just by looking at the pictures. Of course, the baking will have to be done by an adult. Klutz has given the opportunity, once again, to turn the imagination loose with this inclusive kit.
