Publisher Description

A thousand and one ideas for making beautiful polymer clay millefiori. In Venetian glassmaking, slender rods of molten glass are shaped, then cut to reveal amazingly detailed patterns: flowers, geometric shapes, dancing colors. These slices are called millefiori, “thousand flowers,” because they form a carpet of flowers when placed side by side. Now celebrity author Donna Kato shows crafters exactly how to re-create these intricate, fascinating designs in polymer clay. The Art of Polymer Clay Millefiori Techniques reveals the entire process: how to work with the polymer clay, the basics of planning and creating a cane, and using color effectively. Dozens of canes, from simple to simply stunning, are included, and everything is clearly explained and illustrated with full-color photos, the Donna Kato way. Throughout the book, examples of stunning work by such millefiori artists as Kathy Amt, Pier Voulkos, and Kathleen Dustin provide inspiration. There must be a thousand ways to make beautiful millefiori . . . explore them all in The Art of Polymer Clay Millefiori Techniques.

    Polymer clay

    A fantastic resource for polymer clay artist!!!

    JoHumanist ,

    If you buy one book for your polymer clay library... This is the 1

    This is one of the first books I bought 7 years ago when I became interested in the versatile craft of polymer clay. I still refer to it. My favorite thing about it? The amount of canes she teaches you how to do- this book simply has the most information out of any book out there( this one and her surface technique one).It starts out with basic canes such as bullseye, stripe, and jelly rolls, working up to more advanced canes like her wonderful zipper cane to a beautiful Monet cane. She even has a few canes that use translucent clay to create a window effect, and has wonderful pictures for each step in many wonderful projects that look professional, and museum worthy - all by combining her canes that she shows you how to do. Oh, and it features the best face cane I have ever seen- with very thorough instructions( though it uses a lot of clay). I promise this will be one of your most used , if not the most referred to book you will ever buy on making canes with polymer clay.
