The Miniature Gardens Book

Once again Angie Scarr lets you peer into her workshop, her mind and, in this book, her garden. Leading you through more explorations into uses of polymer clay, caning in polymer clay, liquid polymer uses and mixed media for a realistic depiction of nature presented in some simple and some more complex projects. Presented here are four types of garden: the kitchen garden, the allotment, the Mediterranean garden and an indoor patio garden. Concentrating on the vegetables for which Angie is best known, but also including fruit, green decorative plants and just touching on flowers – but more particularly the weeds without which most gardens would be incomplete! Includes projects on salad vegetables, root vegetables, cabbage, cauliflower & sprout plants, herbs, tomato plants, potato plants, bell peppers, lemon and olive trees, Swiss cheese and palms, raspberries, strawberries, beans and peas, aubergines, artichokes and squashes, grapevines and cactuses and more. If you’ve loved Angie’s other best selling craft books you’re going to adore this one. “Wonderful book, full of easy to understand instructions and clear photographs. Full of techniques, it’s an absolute must for all polymer clay artists, not just miniaturists. I’m thrilled with it.” Helen Cruickshank “I showed my copy to a friend – an artist herself. When I told her that Angie’s miniatures are not painted but that the colours are found in the material itself, she said “But she must be a world expert in this. This is incredible technique.” I think we all know that both statements are true!” RMK.
