Description
Grade 3-5-These slim books include beautiful color photos but limited instructions. Models presents recipes for both modeling dough and salt dough. Illustrations of equipment and finished products are artistically photographed, but there are no step-by-step directions for the crafts and readers won’t be able to finish the ceramic clay projects without access to a kiln. However, the author does offer a few hints for successful modeling with other mediums such as cake, marzipan, self-hardening clay, and papier-m ch . Of the two, Paper provides the broadest introduction and appeal for novices, and includes paper jewelry, decorative shopping bags, flowers, cards, wrapping paper, bows, tags, and even an aquarium of fish. Instructions are more specific than those in Models. Most of the ideas in these volumes can be found in numerous other craft. ―-SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
