<p>SOUTH AFRICA (JOHANNESBURG): Dear Cindy, First time posting here, I must say, you are incredible, professional and very friendly. I already bought some programs from you, as I am very new in Polymer Clay, and I have funny problem. Whole day I was looking for cornstarch, and everyone was looking at me, as I arrived from another planet &#8211; I live in Johannesburg, South Africa. I am sure it is called differently over here, and &#8220;impossible&#8221; question will be, can you, or someone else help me, with some description or some way, to find cornstarch? Best regards. <strong>~Srdjan-R</strong> <span style="color: #808080;"><em>&gt;&gt; This comment was originally posted here: </em><a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/baking-beads-on-cornstarch/87/#comment-24945" target="_blank">Baking Beads on Cornstarch</a></span></p>
<p>FRANCE: Bonjour. Merci beaucoup pour votre envois, c&#8217;est trés gentil a vous de me faire profiter de ses videos. J&#8217;apprend beaucoup à voir les videos, même si malheureusement je ne comprend pas ce que vous dites, puisque je ne parles que le français. Merci beaucoup, Françoise [GOOGLE TRANSLATION: Hello, Thank you very much for your mail is very nice of you to make me enjoy his videos. I am learning a lot to see the [beginners course] videos, although unfortunately I do not understand what you say, since I only speak French.

<p>SWEDEN / HOLLAND: I am a Dutch woman living in Sweden with her family. There is not much to buy here for bead making so I have to search the internet for that. I will look into the video&#8217;s to get improved!! Thank you so much for your reaction. We give workshop in Sweden for spinning and dying wool. So I thought of making row counters for the contestants with their name on it. I wanted to make beads and write the letters on it to form their names.

<p>RUSSIA (URALS): I&#8217;m from the Urals, European part of Russia. As for my city, there are only two rather small shops that sell polymer clay, but actually nowadays it&#8217;s not a problem to visit one of the many Online stores and order some clay. I guess, our city is having a boom of polymer clay new born artists, but I can hardly call anyone a unique designer. It&#8217;s a quite understandable situation, as everyone is trying to satisfy the wider possible range of needs, they reach more perfection day by day, but no uniqueness. To my mind, uniqueness needs more braveness not to be appreciated by some part of the audience. As for me, I started my experiments with clay in October of the last year, but I changed it for felting in April, because of the same issue of not 100% natural material. But I guess, I&#8217;ll return to it in a short time, as it&#8217;s a curious material worth attention. The biggest challenge for me is that issue about the chemicals in clay. Most people live in blocks of flats, so you sometimes can&#8217;t arrange some artist corner for yourself with a separate oven. In summer the balcony is good, but in winter its too cold. <strong>~Marta-G</strong> <span style="color: #808080;"><em>&gt;&gt; This comment was originally posted here: </em><a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/phthalate-free-premo-polymer-clay/86/#comment-28044" target="_blank">Premo Polymer Clay</a></span></p>

Just finished my first sanding in my new Lortone Rock Polisher so exited can&#8217;t wait to buff them, I didn&#8217;t have river rock so I tumbled my own as we have lots of white stone in the garden.

<p>NETHERLANDS: Hi Cindy, I just became a member and watched your video on the tribal cane making. I used the extruder before and could not clean it properly so my light colors of clay always had some dark color mixed in. What I do now is I take a baking sheet and clip of a piece of paper that just fit&#8217;s the roll that goes in to the extruder. Than I place it in the extruder and get to work. In that way my extruder keeps very clean and I do not have to worry about the colors. Just my two cents here. Have a nice clay day. <strong>~Schakel</strong> <span style="color: #808080;"><em>&gt;&gt; This comment was originally posted here: </em><a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/polymer-clay-tutorial-tribal-cane-design-bohemian-jewelry/7620/#comment-29113" target="_blank">Polymer Clay Tutorial Lessons</a></span></p>

Nobody probably knows where to find it on a map but it is a very nice little place to live in. I am a french speaking admiror of yours and I learn so much with your course. Do not change anything it is all perfect. Hope to learn more and more from you. You sure are the friend we all want to have to learn polymer clay tips.

<p>AUSTRALIA: I love your online videos and look forward to them every week. There is no way that I wouldn&#8217;t renew my membership. Look forward to future postings and new ideas. Apart from more caning advice which will be covered in upcoming courses, (that I would definitely buy) I would love to learn how to make more flowers in the future. I love the flower jewellery of the 40&#8217;s and 50&#8217;s, especially the vintage Japan and West Germany beads and necklaces. I think if you know basic technique then you can experiment and perfect a certain style. I am definitely learning techniques from you and am successful at the new things that I am learning. That is a testament to a very good teacher. So thanks again- all the best. <strong>~Cara </strong><span style="color: #999999;"><em>&gt;&gt; </em></span><span style="color: #999999;"><em><span style="color: #808080;">This comment was received via email.</span></em></span></p>

<p>BULGARIA: Dear Cindy, I would like to thank you for the 4 free videos. I am a beginner in this beautiful art and i find them very useful. You made them simple, clear, easy to understand- in one word -just wonderful! When searching the net i came across your page and i fell in love with the trumpet bead and the roses. Your creations are lovely! I am from Bulgaria.The art of polymer clay is not popular here. That is why it was a bit difficult to find and get materials and some tools, not speaking of books or guides-practically there are none :) I have in mind your wonderful offers. Thank you once again. Wish you love. <strong>~Nevena </strong><span style="color: #999999;"><em>&gt;&gt; </em></span><span style="color: #999999;"><em><span style="color: #808080;">This comment was originally posted here:</span> <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/polymer-clay-tutorial-make-trumpet-flower-beads-from-cane-slices/2746/#comment-21520" target="_blank">Trumpet Flower Bead Polymer Clay Tutorial</a></em></span></p>
<p>GREECE: Dear Cindy, I have to thank you for being so generous to young clayers, I am not considered neither young nor new clayer since I know polymer clay since 1976, But I have to say how much I appreciate you people that share your experience with clay with all the world. I honour all the excellent women-teachers-clayers that during all these years exchange their knowledge with us in the foreign countries. I am the only teacher in my region, Rhodes Greece, that after a long personal journey claying I have the satisfaction to enter into one of the best private schools in Greece in a regular basis weekly the lesson-activity of polymer clay. Because the manager  is a fanatic admirer of the work we do with the kids, 4rth grade up, unfortunately I can&#8217;t find here all the special tools as tissue blades and brayers and I have to order them through the net. Anyway I am so glad we had this small talk I&#8217;ll visit your site the sooner possible to see your work if you want to see mine and my daughter&#8217;s wait a little bit , it&#8217;s under construction, I&#8217;ll let you know, Thanks again. <strong>~Helen</strong><strong> </strong><span style="color: #999999;"><em>&gt;&gt; </em></span><span style="color: #999999;"><em><span style="color: #808080;">This comment was received via email.</span></em></span></p>
<p>GERMANY: Dear Cindy, I was toooo late I know. Is there any chance to get the bonus recipes? I started with PC beginning of September and at the beginning I was not so vermiliar what I really need and what not. And now I know&#8230;. I need colors and of course a lot of colors, much more then Premo, Cernit and Fimo offers right from the pack. I will order the back issues within the next week, but how could I get the bonus colors.

<p>WALES: I am fairly new to this chat thing but I love your site. It has given me so much help. Like all of you I am polyclay mad. Made tons of beads and sold some in the local craft shop, but I live in the UK or at least Wales. My children say out in the middle of nowhere.  My question is I have just ordered a beach tumbler as the postage for the Lortone was too expensive. It has a plastic barrel. Is that OK? And what would be river rock in the UK. Is it the same as in the US? I have never seen any to know what it looks like. I am trying to help my pore arthritic fingers with the small beads. <strong>~Ritzs </strong><span style="color: #999999;"><em>&gt;&gt; </em></span><span style="color: #999999;"><em><span style="color: #808080;">This comment was originally posted here:</span> <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/lortone-rock-tumblers-for-polishing-polymer-clay-jewelry-beads/474/#comment-23971" target="_blank">Rock Tumblers for Polishing Polymer Clay</a></em></span></p>
<p>UK: Dear Cindy, I&#8217;m Darren Carrington an Artist in Brighton. &#8230; I’ve found your site really interesting, and people like me really appreciate your time and efforts. I&#8217;m a Puppeteer my puppets heads, arms and legs are made of the old ‘Sculpey’ but you see I created my main characters of my Comedy TV series ‘Thatch Close’ way back in 2005, it wasn&#8217;t until last year that I noticed a few puppets had got slightly worn and so I began to re-create the main cast of my series, it was then that I was horrified to find none of the clay was working for me and I was nearly convinced I&#8217;d lost my marbles and couldn&#8217;t continue my aim. &#8230; However Cindy you’ve been a great help and I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks so, so I thought I’d throw some light from my point of view. <strong>~Darren </strong><span style="color: #999999;"><em>&gt;&gt; </em></span><span style="color: #999999;"><em><span style="color: #808080;">This comment was originally posted here:</span> <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/best-polymer-clay-premo-sculpey-vs-fimo-clay-vs-sculpey-iii/485/#comment-21316" target="_blank">Best Polymer Clay</a></em></span></p>

<p>HOLLAND: Thank you for your site. I stumbled upon a blog the other day and was inspired to start making some fimo accessories. But thanks to your site I can learn step by step on how to start.

Anyway, I am looking for some craft which I can do from home so I have more time with my son and perhaps sell them. Hopefully this works for me.

<p>SPAIN: Dear Cindy, This video for buffing it&#8217;s fantastic, very useful. But I have a question for sanding. I have seen your video for sanding the beads.

I try to shortly translate your articles, for those readers, who don&#8217;t know English. I see that some ideas are common and people from different places tell about one thing simultaneously. For example, we begin to use something like your skinner blend version in automn classes. It was very exiting to see your post about it!

Hello from Belgrade. <strong>~Nena </strong><a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/how-to-make-pendants-out-of-polymer-clay/33/#comment-10797" target="_blank"><strong> </strong></a><span style="color: #999999;"><em>&gt;&gt; This comment was originally posted here: <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/heart-beads-valentines-jewelry-polymer-clay-mold/2335/#comment-10403" target="_blank">Polymer Clay Heart Beads</a></em></span></p>
<p>ROMAINA: We have the same problem here, in Romania. This medium is known for about one year, maybe two. We have translated &#8220;polymer clay&#8221; in two words &#8217;cause we have two words for clay meaning the same thing. Just like French people, they are calling it &#8220;pate polymere&#8221; and also &#8220;argile polymere&#8221;. Sometimes we are refering to it as Fimo, that&#8217;s the brand the most popular here, the suppliers also bring Cernit, but it&#8217;s not so used. We are not calling it plastic even though we state that this is what polymer clay becomes after baking. Indeed it takes time to explain the properties of the clay and many of my customers are convinced that I paint the beads, the millefiori concept doesn&#8217;t seem to be understood even when I explain it. I&#8217;m very curious about what other readers have to say about this problem. <strong>~Squash </strong><a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/how-to-make-pendants-out-of-polymer-clay/33/#comment-10797" target="_blank"><strong> </strong></a><span style="color: #999999;"><em>&gt;&gt; This comment was originally posted here: <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/plastic-clay-translation-polymer-clay-russia/2442/#comment-10338" target="_blank">Polymer Clay in Russia</a></em></span></p>
<p>SOUTH AFRICA: I&#8217;m one of the people in South Africa trying out polymer clay and WOH what a wonderful way to form with your hands some bead or heart! I&#8217;m now after a year experimenting ready to sell a piece or more. Very impressed with lots of info on the Internet for us. <strong>~Marthi </strong><a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/how-to-make-pendants-out-of-polymer-clay/33/#comment-10797" target="_blank"><strong> </strong></a><span style="color: #999999;"><em>&gt;&gt; This comment was originally posted here: <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/tear-drop-method-polymer-clay-skinner-blend/2613/#comment-10964" target="_blank">Tear Drop Color Blend Method</a></em></span></p>

<p>UK: OOH OOH membership news, now I&#8217;m afraid to leave the computer, don&#8217;t want to miss out if numbers are ltd. Also cos of the time difference I will just have to use matchsticks to keep awake. Great box tip, as I have several of theese just waiting to be filled and good to know that you don&#8217;t have to wrap [I couldn't make anything rhyme even if I tried-ha ha]. Going to frieds tonight and I had asked for some claying stuf for my birthday, so getting excited [I am also looking forward to seeing them]. <strong>~Andrea @ <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/ideas-for-polymer-clay-storage/78/#comment-4287" target="_blank">Polymer Clay Storage</a></strong></p>

<p>SPAIN: Hi Cindy. Thanks again for taking care of us. I guess that you have a lot of people in your Guest List so if each of us answers to each of your mails you&#8217;d end up crazy. I like to be grateful but after thinking about it I realized it would be worse for you if I reply to each message. I just wanted to let you know that I don&#8217;t mean to be ungrateful if I do not answer to your mails; be sure I&#8217;ll be waiting for them anxiously. I&#8217;ve never done anything with polymer clay, so I&#8217;m an absolutely newbie in this technique. In fact my favorite handcraft is cross stitch and the only one I&#8217;ve practised up to now. I&#8217;ve created a blog to show my stuff (from 2008 on, not previous things). I haven&#8217;t done much this year but I still wanted to show it. You can have a look if you&#8217;re interested and you have time. It is and will be mainly cross stitch but I plan to post all my handcrafts there. Hugs from Spain. <strong>~Mis Labores @ <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/free-polymer-clay-tutorials-on-video-weekly-access-still-no-charge/658/#comment-4954" target="_blank">Free Polymer Clay Tutorials</a></strong></p>
