FROM THE DUST JACKET:

In this, her third book on doughcraft, successful designer Linda Rogers returns to her popular rustic themes to create over 40 charming designs inspired by the countryside.

Doughcraft is so simple to do, yet the marvelous results will make you seem like an instant expert. With no previous experience, anyone, including children, can follow Linda's easy instructions to make lovely decorative items from dough. There is step-by-step advice for making, baking, painting, and varnishing the dough, as well as techniques for sculpting basic shapes.

Put your modeling skills to good use and choose from the country-theme designs provided in the project-packed chapters. A thatched cottage from Home Sweet Home perhaps, or a seasonal fruit basket from The Country Kitchen? Other chapters include The Cottage Garden, The Farmyard, and Country Life. Finally, Decorating with Dough brings an added dimension to doughcraft by showing how it can be used together with simple paint effects to embellish everyday household items including plates, boxes, plant pots, and letter racks.

From lavender baskets for the hall to the cheerful figure of a cook for the kitchen, there is an ideal piece for each room in your home, a perfect gift for every friend. Step-by-step illustrations and inspiring color photographs make this the perfect book for beginners and experienced craftspeople alike.

Linda Rogers, a successful craftswoman and designer, has been producing and selling her doughcraft creations since 1989.

Linda's hugely popular designs are now available through several shops and she also exhibits and sells her work at numerous markets and fairs, as well as running craft workshops. She published her first book, 55 Country Doughcraft Designs in 1994, following it up with the equally successful 55 Celebration Doughcraft Designs.
