I LOVE your teardrop method and I really think you should get that in PC magazines so it can become a household name, it is really that great! ~Tina-A >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Tutorial

Absolutely loved the Video. I have been struggling trying to do these wire wraps on some of my projects, but they were not turning out so good. This video has showed me what I was doing wrong… can’t wait to go get started. This time I know they will turnout good. Thanks again for really great videos. ~Jackie-N >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay and Wire Jewelry

Brilliant!!  I was trying to anticipate how you were going to put the cane on the heart (thinking it was in heart shape form first) and the way you square it first then add and meld, well, I was really surprised.  Thanks again!! ~Catherine-R >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Heart Bead Tutorial

Member Benefits 020-4: Fun Contests

Found it! That was fun and I learned a lot in the process and added more valuable information to my polymer notebook of goodies. I may have to start a second book since I joined. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us. ~Lupe-M >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Treasure Hunt

Cindy; You always seem to come up with bigger and better ideas. I for one would love the chance to win some of your beads. Let the fun begin. Having your beads up close and personal would be a tremendous bonus. See how you have things assembled up close would be of benefit to all who make jewelry. Tried tested methods are always the best. Looking forward to this. ~Illaya-B >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Update

Well, I got 8 out of 10. I missed knowing who was the first to invent polymer clay, and I forgot that it is Premo, not Fimo who basis their colors on traditional artist pigments. Well, I know I will always remember these things from now on!!! I feel good knowing that I remembered everything about which clays work best for what :) Good test, Cindy. I think I’ll go back and watch your Bead Making Basics Course again! I haven’t watched it for a little while, and I obviously need a tune up! ~Cindy-E >> This comment was originally posted here: How to Make Beads

Member Benefits 020-3: Cane Making

Simply wonderful and once again with a brilliant tip about squaring everything up to avoid unsightly gaps between the cane slices!  That is really simple and really clever. Thank you once again Cindy. ~Susan-B >> This comment was originally posted here: Heart Shaped Beads

Very good tutorial today. I’m so glad you kept your cane at a reasonable size…. I’ve seen lots of sites where they use literally pounds of clay to make a cane. I would just sit back amazed and astounded at the sheer volume of clay and huge amount of money. Now eventually I got past that hurdle and scaled back measurements for my canes and eventually learned the little tips you freely gave out in these tutorials. I really wish I had this a year ago. Fabulous teaching!!!! AND I love the petal which is different than any of the petals I’ve learned before and the center made by the extruder is GREAT!!!! It makes such a nice natural center. I will definitely be using that center a lot! Thanks. ~Melinda-H >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Flower Cane Tutorial

As always thank you for the wonderful teaching. I fired up the Gerbera Flower Cane video yesterday and actually made one as I watched, stopping and rewinding as I needed to until I finished all the steps. It felt like you were right here — it was very cool (and my cane is, too). ~Elizabeth-S >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Beads

Cindy, as a newbie I can’t get enough of your videos. I already went through your 39 basic polymer course videos and they were great. I’ve seen a lot of other videos on the web but yours are so easy to follow. You Rock!!!! ~Catherine-R >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Pendants

Cindy, I’ve been watching your tutorial videos I had ordered just last night, and I had to stop midway to say THANK YOU! I’ve been beading for a few years now, but started with polymer clay only a few days ago. As you can imagine, I’ve been feeling like a babe lost in the woods! But your very detailed explanations and clear, close-up video instructions have taken away my fear of getting started. It’s like I’ve hit a gold mine!!! Thank you so much!!! Your eternal fan, ~Melek-J >> This comment was originally posted here: Making Polymer Clay Jewelry

I have several books that show some of the faux turquoise techniques, but seeing it on video is much more useful for me. ~Diana-P >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Faux Turquoise Beads

Just wanted everyone to know not only is Cindy a fantastic teacher (as you will all agree) she has now become a household name in our family. Since I joined her course in July all I have talked about polymer clay so to the reason Cindy is so talked about. I have been a smoker for 52 years now that is a long long time so when I watched Cindy at work with all those wonderful gadgets I knew if I stopped smoking I could afford some of them and more fab videos. I haven’t had a cigarette for 3 weeks now but I am the proud owner of an extruder, some tissue blades and lots of beautiful polymer clay, so when I think of cigarettes I now say that will be 4 packs of clay. A great big thank you Cindy because of you I’m a NON SMOKER. ~Josie-T >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Canes

June, these are wonderful! I am an occupational therapist and especially interested in collecting stories such as yours, because this is what my field is all about! You found a passion that turned a negative life experience into physical healing AND a new found interest. I agree with Cindy that polymer claying can help with physical healing and stress management and an important part of healing is the support and company of others. I think Cindy has created a community that meets so many needs…learning and fellowship. Thank you for sharing your story,and to Cindy for creating this lovely space for us to meet. ~Sue-W >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Art Therapy – Muscle Shoulder Injury

I have been working with clay for about two months and find it very relaxing. I own a home daycare and need something like this to relax. I used to work with clay back in school and didn’t realize how much I missed it until I purchased some. I am glad that I have ran across your site. ~Brendan-M >> This comment was originally posted here: Conditioning Polymer Clay

Let me congratulate you for your amazing site, very user friendly and terribly helpful, but mostly for the way you run it always having a kind and encouraging word to give to everybody. I’m very new to polymer clay and trying to find my way. Many thanks. ~Helena-G >> This comment was originally posted here: How to Make Beads

Hi Cindy. I really enjoy your videos and the way you explain things. You have inspired me to try different things. I am new to polymer clay so really appreciate that there is some online teaching available as there is very little in New Zealand. I have attached a couple of pictures of things I have made from polymer clay as I feel more confident thanks to you.  I started making miniatures just for fun and enjoy that too. I think it is amazing that you answer emails to you as you must be so busy. Thanks again. ~Jo-S >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Bead Making

I LOVE recipes….because I can’t really make up colours in my head yet.  I am very new to polymer clay!!  And frankly don’t want to waste my money on making ugly colours!!  So it is nice to have that work done for me… gives me more time to play. ~Kam-K >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Mixing Recipes
