This fun book shows readers how to make standalone character figures with polymer clay - what the author calls "Oddfae" - dragons, treefolk, witches, wizards, fugitives from fairy tales, figments of the imagination, and the slightly off-center. Readers learn about materials, special precautions and quick, simple techniques; then they will get 9 step-by-step demonstrations. Each demonstration shows how to make accurate figures, from beginning supports to sculpting the head, hands and feet (including eyes, chins, noses, brows, lips, cheeks, mouths, ears, makeup and hair), bodies, baking and costuming. There are stories by the author and poems about each character.
