Seller's Description
Romantic Brooches made of FIMO by Marlis Meyer Softcover Book
A 28 page soft cover book giving instructions and ideas on making custom broches using Fimo. This is the second edition of the book but has no date. (Note: I found a first edition dated 1980 online.)
The book is written by Marlis Meyer and published by Adolph Thielmann
The book is in good condition with no rips or tears and I see no markings in the book.
With FIMO you can make your own tasteful fashion jewellery which suits your wardrobe. This book will not only give you ideas, it will show you how to make the very most of the material and how to create your own stunning jewellery.
The book begins by showing you more simple models without complicated decorations as an introduction to your new hobby. In the early chapters you will find the basic information necessary for working with FIMO and creating all kinds of brooches.
Below the list list of the chapters in this book. This list reflects the various stages of how a brooch is made.

Materials
In order to make the brooches as shown in this book, you will need FIMO in the colours black, terracotta and grey and as accessories metal settings, glass beads, rhinestones in different sizes, small pearls and various kinds of chains which are all available in the comprehensive range of Eberhard Faber.
For applying the finishing decoration to the brooch you can use Eberhard Faber bronze powder (Treasure Gold: classic gold and Treasure Silver of Schmincke) and black matt silk lacquer. To protect the surface of your finished brooch, we recommend you coat it with special Fl MO varnish.
For sticking the beads and the modelling parts in place use a two-component glue (activator and bonder).
Tools
The tools that you will need are few and simple such as a small plastic-coated cutting board, a small bottle for rolling out the FIMO, a wooden meat skewer, a crochet needle, a small knife, some rags and two small acrylic paint brushes. Furthermore you will need a nail cleaner and the nib of an old fountain pen for removing any excess paint or varnish from your finished jewellery. To cut the chains you should have cutting pliers or a clipper handy. The use of these tools will be explained later on in the book.
