  • Still the best book of its type.
If you buy only one book on the subject of polymer clay mini-foods, this one will serve you well. In its 8th printing as of 2011. If you're a fan of basic English foods, all the better. Clay brand used: Fimo. Excellent info on mixing realistic colors for specific items. Sections on raw meats, raw poultry, salami, cheeses, pork pies, fish and shellfish are especially good. Included: Prawns, oysters, crabs and lobsters. Downsides: Nothing on making green onions and leeks, but the author's website has instructions for them. Since the focus of this book is on fresh market foods and generic bakery goods, there's nothing on fancy desserts. You'll need a different book for them. No expensive equipment is needed to make items illustrated. However, a manual pasta machine is strongly recommended for clay conditioning because standard Fimo is a stiff material. ... show more

  • Great hobby
Angie Scarr is a very talented teacher. I purchased this book 2 years ago and love the clear step by step tutorials. I gave my niece this book and polymer clay a few days ago ( she is here on vacation from the Philippines) because she loved all my polymer collections that I made from this book. This will be the 2nd time buying it. It's so handy especially when I'm making produce and bake goods for my nativity scenes. ... show more

  • Move over Re Ment!
Get this book while you can! My dolls have a kitchen full of Re Ment minature food but they have a distinct lack of what this book offers, English food. There's little chance they'll be making plastic pork pies any time soon so armed with a bit of polymer clay you can finally make all meat and potatoes your dolls can eat, not to mention produce, and some of the most beautiful fish I've ever seen. I was about to get rid of my polymer clay until this book came in. Even if you have some of the Japanese or Chinese dollhouse books you'll still need this to round out your menus. ... show more

  • Clear & Concise
I LOVE this book. I've kept it for 12 years because I am always going back to it to learn something new, or to refresh my memory. The instructions are clear & concise. The instructions are easy to follow, and the pictured items are simple to duplicate. A perfect book for anyone's crafting collection! ... show more

  • Great book, a real must-have
I am an experienced miniaturist of many years, and I checked this book out at the public library first to see if I wanted to get it. I thought it was fantastic, so I bought it from Amazon. These foods are largely universal although the Englishness of a couple of them is interesting, like the pork pie. I appreciated the instructions on how to do polymer clay seafood (where else can you find directions on how to make a fish skeleton with a fishhead attached??), and I also liked the instructions on how to make mini dishware to go with the foods. ... show more

  • Miniature food made easy
Angie Scarr gives very clear and detailed instructions how to make the food items in this book. From breads to cheese, meats to vegetables, it's all concisely described. Ms. Scarr gives a chart detailing the polymer clay colors needed to make all the items in this book, including how much of each color, by ratio. I highly recommend this book for the beginner or intermediate miniaturist. Even the more advanced will benefit from this book. Making Miniature Food and Market Stalls ... show more

  • The most stunning book!
I've been able to read newspapers since I was three, and this is one of my all-time favorite books, right beside childhood books like "The Mouse and the Motorcycle," "A bargain for Francis," and as a grown-up, Robert Bloch's "Psycho," (yes, where the movie came from--brilliant writing!!!)...Just flipping through this book is a complete rush. However, be fully ready to be buying a GREAT deal of polymer clay at $1.00 for the sucky, cheap kind (the colors aren't quite right, black is more grey, red is pink, so on) to $2.50 for the good stuff--PER PACKAGE. Skip it if you can't see the color through the plastic. If you can find this through the library, you'll see what I mean; there's lots of colors involved for most things. Also, buy 2x as much translucent, you'll be using it for nearly everything. It gives the food a very lifelike sort of look. Less "clay-like," if you will. Also, if you have a sensitive nose or asthma, please be aware this stuff stinks a bit while baking--I like a lot of air doing this and you can't place the unbaked clay on anything you eventually plan to eat on--use the backs of your cutting boards/baking sheets, and so on. I bake it at 250 degrees and I'm careful NOT to burn it--it's VERY toxic if you do; it says on some of the packages. It goes w/o saying that you want tight, surgical gloves to play with this stuff if you can find them--whatever you can't eat by proxy, you probably don't want on your skin; and eventually into your bloodstream. Gloves also help keep the clay clean; hard to do otherwise. For very small things, you can spray them with railroad hobby "Scenic Glue." It makes stuff shiny like varnish, AND it stays sticky, so tiny stuff won't roll onto the floor, never to be seen again. Also had good luck with spray varnish for tomatoes, which of course, dries glass-like and non-sticky. A very exciting book!! You'll love it. Seriously looking forward to her next book coming soon! ... show more
