A riot of flowers in polymer clay but this time made like never before using stencils to 'print' the plant parts. This little handbook is largely intended as an aide to using Angie Scarr Miniatures stencils effectively but it is also full of hints and tips about getting materials and colours right and how to display your work. Stencilling with a mix of solid polymer clay and liquid clays (Goo) is a new adventure for both Angie and her students. Until now the world of miniature flower making traditionally centred around three basic materials; paper, cold porcelain and solid polymer clay, each of which have their drawbacks as well as their benefits, and each of which required a lot of patience to produce the flowers in large enough numbers to fill a dollhouse shop. These ideas look at new and different ways of using polymer clay to produce beautiful, delicate flowers and plants which are resistant to moisture and can be semi translucent, in delicate subtle or glorious strong colours without individual painting of leaves and petals. You don't have to have endless patience to use these simple techniques. Just a love of flowers and a love of miniatures "I invent easy ways of doing things because I'm essentially lazy and lacking in patience." Angie.

Miniaturist, self builder and serial creative Angie, never did things quite the way anyone thought she should. This is the story of how challenging and also how rewarding life can be if you take an unconventional path and stick with it in spite of all indications that disaster is looming. Angie and her 'Computer Geek' husband Frank's exploits in England and Andaluc a are unusual, maddening, cringe-worthy and sometimes very funny indeed. There are moments of triumph and moments of despair. And almost always a blind faith and a can do attitude. Woven through the whole story is her absolute passion for thinking up new creative ideas, sharing them and inspiring other people. This rags to rags autobiography is both a cautionary and joyful tale for anyone thinking of living a non-traditional creative life, or anyone contemplating making the big leap to another country in the belief that it will all work out.

Once again Angie Scarr lets you peer into her workshop, her mind and, in this book, her garden. Leading you through more explorations into uses of polymer clay, liquid polymer and mixed media for a realistic depiction of nature presented in some simple and some more complex projects. Presented here are four types of garden: the kitchen garden, the allotment, the Mediterranean garden and an indoor patio garden. Concentrating on the vegetables for which Angie is best known, but also including fruit, green decorative plants and just touching on flowers - but more particularly the weeds without which most gardens would be incomplete Including projects onSalad vegetables, root vegetables, cabbage, cauliflower & sprout plants, herbs, tomato plants, potato plants, bell peppers, lemon and olive trees, Swiss cheese and palms, raspberries, strawberries, beans and peas, aubergines, artichokes and squashes, grapevines and cactuses ... and more.
