Once again you have blown me away Cindy. These colors are amazing!! Prettiest ones yet I think. ~Laurel-B >> This comment was originally posted here: Blue Spruce Polymer Clay Colors

I have to share with you that this article gave me the confidence to really commit to experimenting with mixing colors. I’m using your little pill sample technique and I’m so happy with the results! Plus my experimentation has led me to find a beautiful shade of purple that is just perfect for making beads to support my local university team. Fancy that! Plus it’s just a pretty purple! Thanks for instilling confidence and providing some really great recipes. I think the best part about these recipes is the way the translucent works to enhance the quality of the color. Kinda makes it POP! ~Kimberlee-J >> This comment was originally posted here: Mixing Polymer Clay Colors

Cindy, this new palette is gorgeous. I love the way you key your selections to the natural world. Thank you for sharing them! ~Jocelyn-C >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Recipes

What great information! It certainly opened my eyes to some possibilities. ~Cynister >> This comment was originally posted here: Alohol Ink Techniques for Polymer Clay

Cindy, I love how you say that if you want to be good with color, you can. It gives me hope. Yes, it’s true that some people are just “born with it;” they just have that innate sense of how to use color. But others can work at it, and develop a sense of color with practice and the proper training. One can hope, anyway! ~Phaedrakat >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Millefiori Beads

I love the pumpkin earrings. I get the small color recipe size by saving it to “my pictures”. It allows me to print four recipes on one page which automatically reduces the size. Mine fit in a baby wipes box. Your newsletter makes my Fridays a treat!! Thank you. ~Sandra-G >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Pumpkin Beads

I’m still new at mixing colors. I have a few colors to work with and then I see another one in the recipe I don’t have so that’s frustrating when I am ready to mix my colors for a bead. Some day I will have all the basic ones. Thanks for the recipe it helps so much. ~Brenda-E >> This comment was originally posted here: Mixing Polymer Clay Colors

Hi Cindy, I just bought the extruder and I am anxiously awaiting ways to stretch my investment. I also work full time so the more I can maximize my time the better it is for me. I am enjoying all of the back ordered videos and color recipes, such a wealth of knowledge! ~Tinuke-C >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Extruder

Beautiful palette Cindy! And boy would it be nice to see how that cane would be made. ;) ~Kelly-L >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Recipes

Love the colors. I could easily see that palette used in one of Julie Picarello’s pieces… just add some gold to it. The picture looks just like one of my cats that I used to have… Teddy was his name. Thanks. ~Lupe-M >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Recipe

Cindy, you won’t believe this but I was going to ask you if you would post a blank of your color recipe] card, something we could put into Word or some other word processor to type up our recipes on. Again you’re Psychic and reading our minds. Thank you both again. P.S. Yes please send us more formulas. Between Cindy’s cards today, Carrie’s formulas today and discovering that chart on the Kato colors yesterday my head is spinning rapidly and I’m quickly falling behind on preparing the chips for the cards. Having a blast though. ~Ken-H >> This comment was originally posted here: Sculpey III Polymer Clay Recipes

Those are so fabulous!!! Oh how happy colors make me! ~Melinda-H >> This comment was originally posted here: Hawaiian Lily Polymer Clay Color Recipes

I’m in on the excitement too Cindy. Love your colour combos in this video as well! Roll on Friday! ~Aims >> This comment was originally posted here: Flower Canes

More beautiful colors, Cindy. Looking forward to working with them. Nature is truly awesome and it is so wonderful to have you tuned in and sharing all the splendor. Thanks. ~Joyce-M >> This comment was originally posted here: Color Recipes Polymer Clay

The Salmon Pearl colors are as beautiful as the picture. You must be so thrilled your husband shares in your talent. The two of you must inspire each other and together comes such beauty. I am looking so forward to spending more time with you and my clay family in 2010. It is going to be a great year with breath taking colors, thanks to you and your hubby. ~Peggy-B >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Inspiration

You are so right! Some of the happiest days in my craft room are those when I get distracted and start working on a technique or combining colors just for the sake of wanting to know how it would turn out. Interestingly, the results are often those I love the most. ~Elizabeth-S >> This comment was originally posted here: How To Make Polymer Clay Beads

So I made watercolour beads today, as usual I had to put my own spin on the technique though! I’m proud that apart from the white and black, everything I used was scrap clay or leftovers from another project. If I’d made a New Year’s claying resolution it would have been to try to use as much of my leftover clay as possible rather than just adding it to the (admittedly quite small) scrap pile. Like if I make a particularly nice Skinner blend it seems such a shame to waste the beautiful colours in the trimmings. ~Silverleaf >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Bead Making Tips

I haven’t had time to try any of these recipes yet, but I intend to try the peony recipe tomorrow. I think it will make a beautiful color for one of the hearts you taught us last month. ~Linda-K >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Recipes

This week’s color, rose cream, is a beautiful pale pink – good enough to eat. I used it for a heart with dark red lace. Also made a black one with silver lace. I’m looking forward to getting them out of the oven and finishing them. ~Rose-M >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Rose Color Palette

I totally identify with what Kriss said about the Mica Shift Tutorial! I have been doing tons of mica shift dangle earrings, they are selling like crazy at a hair salon that has my stuff for sale! Plus, I’m having a lot of fun seeing what new colors I can make by mixing the pearl clay colors! Also, it is SOOO much easier to slice the design when it is on something round! Thanks Cindy! ~Carrie-W >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Mica Shift Earrings
