Wasn't sure where to post this art or picture books

-it's both!

We recently found this beautiful picture book with the most incredible illustrations - they are pictures made from polymer clay and photgraphed. It would be a great art project for a variety of topics. The art goes beyond a polymer figure and is really a work of art. The pictures are amazingly realistic and three dimensional. We have read the Coral Reef book and now see that there is also a jungle version we'll have to check out.

Over in the Ocean: In a Coral Reef
Over in the Jungle: A Rainforest Rhyme

I'm thinking that it would be fun to do small mosaics with Sculpey, based on her illustrations in the books. Would be a great use of all those little bits, huh?

Mary, What a cool idea! Fits right in with our current ancient Roman craze.

What would you use as a base to glue them on??

Just bumping this. We were just completely captivated by Jeanette Canyon's art!
