Photorealistic food is on the menu in this collection, which features tiny dishes for polymer clay artists of all levels. Crafter Allingham begins with a series of techniques commonly used in her projects, including methods for preparing, cutting, and blending clays, adding realistic texture and color, and affixing jewelry findings to finished projects. Each piece is described as beginner, intermediate, or advanced level, and the amount of detail is stunning. Tiny one-inch pancakes are topped with even tinier blueberries, a miniature tart is decorated with doll-size slices of kiwi, and a cheese board looks mouthwateringly realistic. Patience and the ability to work with small shapes is essential; the directions provide a helpful guide. VERDICT Allingham's delightful creations are perfect for polymer clay jewelrymakers and doll house furniture enthusiasts.
