Polymer clay bears

Birdy Heywood shows how to make cute and funny bears using polymer clay and simple modelling techniques.

First we learn how to divide a block of clay into the correct proportions to create the Simple Bear, which is the basis for all the other bears in the book, then there is advice about the few simple tools needed to model the bears.

Then it is staight on to making the Simple Bear, and with a few adaptations, a whole host of other bears such as Wedding Bear, Halloween Bear, Musician Bear, DIY bear, Baby Bear and much more.

The constituent parts of the bears are shown with the step by step instructions, and annotated for clarity, then each finished bear is pictured in all its splendour.

Bear lovers will be delighted with so many appealing designs to create, and the many different themes make these bears wonderful gifts for a variety of friends and occasions.
