SO much easier than I would have done it. Thanks again Cindy! ~Pollyanna >> This comment was originally posted at this link: Cookie Cutter Canes
Well, I’ve actually made a couple of these canes before; but, as always, Cindy adds a few tweaks into her techniques and the results are fantastic! I’m also looking forward to [...]

I love this cane. I also love learning how you do this. You see things so differently then I do. What a creative mind you have. Somehow you can think sideways, backwards and upside down! And then Ta Da everything is in the right place! ~Casey-C >> This comment was originally posted here: Backgroundless Tulip [...]

Cindy the tile idea is fantastic! – I have made these kaleidoscope canes in the past but I always had difficulty getting a triangle shape – this is a very useful and logical solution – you always manage to come up with a practical solution to solve problems in technique – I am so glad [...]

Cindy, this video is totally amazing. How do you ever figure these things out? I was watching and thinking okay, next she is going to… and I was totally wrong and amazed. I saw you slice the block and thought, well that is a interesting way to slice before forming the petals and “Presto Chango” [...]

Everyone who saw my butterfly wing cane absolutely loved them! And there’s absolutely no way I could have done this as a first cane without Cindy’s guidance and video, and have it come out near as well as it did! All credit goes to her when I tell anyone about any [...]

Hello Cindy! I made a leaf cane using the technique you showed us this last week, and it was awesome! I made it to make a very special necklace for my 3rd anniversary with my fiancé. I truly appreciate your time and energy, and everything you put into your tutorials and website. ~Karrah-S [...]

Another Grand Slam. You always have that special little secret that just makes everything come to life so much easier. I have covered many heart beads with canes and never once thought about shaping it into a square to make it so much easier and elegant. You have made another fantastic video that will help [...]

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 few months ago I took a beginner polymer clay bead making class with a local artist and we quickly made a leaf cane similar to this one.  It was just an overview and my cane was terrible.  I’m looking forward to learning more about it and actually learning how to do it! ~Marsha @ [...]

Dear Cindy. How do you always read my mind? I was just trying to figure out the best way to store my canes (which I’m happy to say are looking better!) when out pops this video. Thank you, yet again! ~Maria @ Polymer Clay Storage
LOL – okay, now I HAVE heard everything!  How cool is [...]

I have tried several canes and they have not worked well, but what the heck. Adventure is the name of the game, and try, try again is what we as clay artist should do. It’s like a runner going for 26 miles and hitting a brick wall at 24 miles. We need to push through [...]
