This book is labelled as the “All-Media Reference To Surface Effects And How To achieve Them”
It is a part of the same series of books released by New Burlington Books. I reviewed one of the other books The Jewellers Techniques Bible.
I must say that I love these books, they are easy to read and follow, spiral bound and they act as great reference books.
It gives you the basics and quick instructions on how to achieve the effects without going into wordy descriptions.
This book is divided up into the foloowing chapters
*Stone
*Wood
*Metal
*Fired Clay
*Plaster
*Resin
*Cement and Ciment Fondue
The book is full of ideas that you can carry on over into Polymer clay, Precious metal Clay, Air Dry Clays and to any other medium you work with.
It is one reference book that will get your head running wild with ideas and stepping out of your comfort zone.
The best thing about this book is the price tag attached. I paid $19.99 AUD for it at Dymocks. Its excellant value for this series of books.
