Kindle Customer said 1 star off for no sculpted bodies. I decided to edit my review after completing several project. While at first I was quite frustrated because this book wasn't what I expecting. These projects are all soft bodied - only the head, hands and feet are polymer clay. This wasn't made clear in the description of the book.However after making a troll and a witch - both modified, I really how much fun it can be to put your time into making those tricky parts and using a soft, poseable body which can stand on its own. I also have a tricky time with that. I picked up some great tips for costumes, hair, and armatures th. "fun book" according to Melissa Collins. Easy to follow sculpting instructions but needs a little extra attention and detail when it comes to clothing. Great reference for Polymer clay work Brian Propst I really like all the photos that show concepts. The photos show how to set up the armature and how to form the clay around the armature. A unique concept that I haven't found in other books is how to incorporate cloth with clay. This cloth and clay process is similar to those used in doll making, but these clay figures have an armature which allows the clay figure to remain flexible after the clay has been cured and the cloth and clothing have been added.
