What a cool technique! Of course, it’s one of about ten I’ve got lined up to try now that I finally have some time. Looking forward to the videos next month. I’d like to second the comment about value for money. Your videos are great information. Thanks so much, Cindy. ~Sue-W >> This comment was originally posted here: Deep Crackle Bead Techniques
This technique is so cool, I really like the round and lentil beads in previous lessons. I could never figure out how to do this on my own and need a visual. The nice thing about these beads is they are different that what most other people are making. With 12,000 polymer clay listings on Etsy, these would really stand out. I have not yet listed on Etsy and my concern in is how do you get noticed. I know a good photo is the key but originality is also very important. I hope others will realize the great opportunity to learn this Raku Technique and will hound Cindy to make a video lesson. ~Anna-S >> This comment was originally posted here: Faux Raku Mosaic Tube Beads
Hey Cindy! I’ve been in Heaven part of this morning — checking over all of the clay information. Plan on trying a bunch of them!! Your techniques are unbelievable, and so simplified!! Can tell that you really found your LOVE! Oops!! I should add, other than your True Love (your hubby)! Thanks so much for all that you are giving to us (a gift)! I am elated with your website, and glad that I am a member too. THANKS FOR SHARING!!! ~Diana-S >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Tutorials
I just finished watching your tutorial on adding the thread to the clay. I thought it was a great idea, which got me thinking. As I was drilling some holes in some of my beads I had these small shavings from the beads, so I decided to mix them in with the translucent clay. It worked great and made some really beautiful beads. Anyway just wanted to share it with you. Thanks again for your wonderful tutorials. ~Jackie-N >> This comment was originally posted here: Jewelry Making Tutorials
Well, this gives me idea with what I am to do with my acrylic paints.. Thanks :D for the info. ~Melissa-S >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Instructions
Thank you so much, this was really informative. I was wondering how to make my beads all the same size without having more equipment. Thanks Again! ~Sarah-B >> This comment was originally posted here: Baking Uniformly Sized Polymer Clay Beads
Cool Idea!!! Love it. You are so creative. I am certainly going to give that a try. I was trying to practice my Mokume Gane cane for an upcoming class and wasn’t sure what to try it on, so I covered a small stainless steel utility pocket knife (only on one side) and wow… it really dressed up the knife. I gave them to my nephews and brother-in-laws for Christmas… and they also make great stocking stuffers as well. This is why I just love polymer clay! ~Lupe-M >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Beads and Wire
I am so glad I watched the video about the Makin’s extruder. It had not crossed my mind about the vacuum that could build up if you pulled the clay out of the chamber instead of pushing it out with the plunger. Thanks for the tip Cindy. ~Adrienne-L >> This comment was originally posted here: Makins Professional Ultimate Clay Extruder
Thank you so much for the video on taking my pasta machine apart and cleaning it. I’ve been working with polymer clay for a few months and was going to go out and buy a couple of spares, not now. ~Paul-A >> This comment was originally posted here: Taking Apart And Cleaning A Pasta Machine
That’s the truth, I would NEVER have tried to clean my pasta machine without having watched your video, even though I have a different model than yours on the video, after a few days I figured out how to get the scrapers back on. Thanks a million Cindy, and I am slowly building up the back volumes at one or two a month, I can easily find the $10-$20 a month that I waste on other things than aren’t necessary (breakfast on the way to work) to purchase the videos, although I still would like to see them offered on DVD. ~Ken-H >> This comment was originally posted here: Skinner Blend Plug Technique
I have been all over the net looking for inkjet info for transfer. Thought only toner would do. Got all the materials. Can’t wait to get going. Yeah! Thanks Cindy. ~MaryEllen-S >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Image Transfer Technique
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: Instructions For Making A Mod Cane
Wow Cindy! This is the first of your videos I have watched, and I have to say what a nice job! The camera angles were great and the picture was very bright and clear. Much better than the blurry, dark, jumpy videos I have seen elsewhere. If all your vids are this well done, then what a value your membership really is! Thank you so very much for sharing this one in particular with all of us. I am sure everyone who watches this will be able to use this method easily after watching you do it. Even if they have been intimidated by the skinner blend in the past. What a sweetheart you are to give us all this chance to see it. XOXO ~Jamie-H >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Teardrop Method
This is a brilliant idea and I can’t wait to try it, Cindy – thanks for sharing! I too think you should give your name to it ;-) ~Caroline-H >> This comment was originally posted here: Modified Skinner Blend
WOW! I’ve been putting off purchasing a pasta machine for the Skinner blend because it looks so tedious. You are blessed with such a creative mind and now you’ve outdone yourself and have saved thousands of polyclay artists time, money, and frustration by inventing this unique alternative! Thanks Cindy! ~Sharon-T >> This comment was originally posted here: Teardrop Method for Polymer Clay Color Blends
I’ve had a bit of a break from the internet, and look what I’ve missed! What a great idea, so simple and effective and easy. I do love Skinner blends and don’t mind all the precision but it just takes too long. You’ve solved that problem… how awesome. ~Silverleaf >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Canes
Amazing, I thought these were so much harder, you sure make everything thing look so easy! Thanks. ~Tina-A >> This comment was originally posted here: Pillow Beads
Without the food processor my time for clay would be very limited as Arthritis visits often and without the pasta machine there would be no level pieces of clay to cut from so being very new to polymer clay these items are really necessary. I think I’ll really enjoy my next purchase which will be the Makins Professional Clay Extruder and that may become a favorite. Love this new hobby and your lessons and videos Cindy. ~Joyce-M >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Tools
I LOVE the hammered copper! I actually have some of the wire at home that I ran across in a recent clean-up of my late husband’s workshop! I can wait to see how to do this – up close and personal – in this week’s video. Got family reunion Saturday but I know what I’ll be doing Sunday afternoon!!! ~Arlene-H >> This comment was originally posted here: Hammered Copper Findings
These are so cool and I’d love to learn how to make them. Cindy, you are making it very difficult for us to choose!!! I still want to learn the faux raku and memorial keepsake beads too. Can’t wait!!! ~Cheryl-H >> This comment was originally posted here: Graffiti Beads
