    About this ebook

    This is the second in the series of “Polymer People”. You learn about making your sculpting tools, proportions, the differences between male, female, children, and adult hands & feet.

    I love the human form. There is so much about it that intrigues me. But when I went looking for a book on how to sculpt it in polymer clay, I had very few options. Those that I found were showing how to do character-type creations. I wanted something grounded in traditional fine art techniques. Things they would teach you in a life sculpting class if you were to use only polymer clay and not earthen clay.

    She's tiny but mighty!
