These slices are called millefiori, 'thousand flowers', because they form a carpet of flowers when placed side by side. Now celebrity author Donna Kato shows how to re-create these intricate, fascinating designs in polymer clay. She reveals the entire process: how to work with polymer clay, the basics of planning and creating a cane and using colour effectively. Dozens of examples are included and everything is clearly explained and illustrated with full-colour photographs. This work also includes examples of stunning work by such noted millefiori artists as Kathy Amt, Pier Voulkos and Kathleen Dustin. Donna Kato is a teacher, product designer & artist. She served as a representative for Sculpey and Fimo and has partnered with the art-materials manufacturer Van Aken to design her own line, Kato Poly Clay. |

Gotta love Donna Kato's style, it is so out there, bold and fabulous! This book will open the door to new techniques and help you to build on your repertoire of skills. Fabulous photos and step by step instuctions make this a very practical book from which to inspire your own design techniques. I wouldn't be without this one.

What a treat this book is. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to take their polymer art to a high level. The lessons are precisely written and even a serious beginner would find all the instructions inspirational. Donna Kato has excelled in details and the photos are exceptional.
