Synopsis


It's all about creating the curious. Inside this book, you will be introduced to 26 stepped-out projects, each offering new techniques using epoxy clay. Two-part epoxy clay can be sculpted and manipulated in a variety of ways and is extremely durable when cured, resulting in amazing effects. You will learn the basics of working with this new craft medium and then dive into the projects, which feature sculpted epoxy clay inspired by and often combined with altered remnants. Projects include mixed-media pieces such as a small totem, curio cabinet and fish tank, along with personal style and jewelry items fashioned in a curious, Victorian Gothic style.
