Member Benefits 048-2: Color Mixing

Polymer Clay Membership SiteAnother amazing set of colors! And another beautiful picture for us to admire! Cindy, I love the little stories you tell with each new color recipe. Thanks to both you and Doug for bringing us these color inspirations! ~Tanya-L >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Butterfly Garden Polymer Clay Colors

Dear Cindy, There you go again… teaching us how to smile and work happily with our artistic muse (I think she is you!), and taking the frustration out of working with polymer clay! You are such a natural, clear and precise teacher! Thank you so much for that. Your sunflower picture and color recipes are making me burst with excitement!!! I will be trying the new color combinations this evening (who knows what lovelies I will come up with now!). You have really inspired me, and I have tons of ideas running through my mind now that I see how combining colors from the clay packages creates COUNTLESS POSSIBILITIES!!! :) You are teaching me that working with color in PC is very similar to working with color in other mediums. I have been painting with oils, water colors, and acrylics for years, and got really excited about polymer clay when I just happened to run across your blog. Since then, my painting is on the back burner while I excitedly follow your examples with my new found love… polymer clay!!! Thank you from the bottom of 1/2 part white, 1/2 part translucent, and 1/8 part alizarin crimson heart :) Sincerely. ~Cindy-E >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Mixing Up Polymer Clay Recipes

Another winsome colorful story Cindy. With today’s rocky roads there is always a place to go for respite …your blog with the color palettes. Always a fun place to visit and join you in fond memories that can trigger memories in our own growing up years. Thank you, Cindy, for taking us along down memory lane. And now on to take hold of inspirations abounding from these truly beautiful colors! ~Joyce-M >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Polymer Clay Maple Pods Color Recipes

Awesome descriptive writing you have here, Cindy… you “done good”, kiddo!  Looking around our world is not only good for finding inspiring artwork ideas, but it also nourishes the soul… and makes our eyeballs happy campers! ~Garnie-S >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Polymer Clay Cane Designs

Unbelievable…. I just mixed a fabulous coral color. Your colors are so pretty. ~Melinda-H >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Polymer Clay Colors

They’re my favorite colors too! I’d love to learn how to make the flower. Thanks Cindy, I look out for your email every Friday. Have a great week. ~Cheryl-H >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Geranium Polymer Clay Color Palette

I don’t know what I would do without the recipes – I guess everything I make would be in the basic purchased colors. This is a beautiful palette! ~Elizabeth-S >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Polymer Clay Color Recipes

Thanks Caroline, You are right Cindy’s Pallets are the best place to start. I have been started to save them now. Before I would copy my recipes and file them away by color group. Until recently I have not been saving the newsletter with the pictures. I also thought a color wheel might help me make some colors of my own. I would love it if I could put a copy of Doug’s picture in my recipe box with the recipes. Until recently I just didn’t care about mixing my own colors or taking advantage of Doug’s wonderful pictures with Cindy’s magnificent colors. NOW I AM – Thank you Cindy and Doug the Dynamic Duo. Uuuuuggggggs to all. ~Peggy-B >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Custom Polymer Clay Colors

Lovely color palette! Spring is definitely in the air here, birds singing and crocuses blooming everywhere and there’s a pair of collared doves sitting on eggs in a nest in one of our hedges. And I LOVE the purple Viola colours, so pretty. ~Silverleaf >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Johnny Jump-Up Flower Palette

Cindy, you have my compliments not only for the beautiful colour palettes but also for their lovely names! Where do you find such a poetic sounding from? ~Nevena-S >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Purple Wallflower Palette

I love the butterfly wing. I would love to see a tute on it. You have such a good eye for color!! ~Sandra-G >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Polymer Clay Spotlight

What a bright cheery palette! Very summer-y… I like it. ~Lisa-W >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Forget-Me-Not Palette

Hi Cindy, Just popping over to say hello. These are such warm, homey colors. You can do so much with this color palette. Although I’m a “winter”, as mentioned in my current post, I love these shades.  Love them. ~Susan-K >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Polymer Clay Color Recipes

Those look like southwest colors. Turquoise for the desert and red for our hot, hot, hot and orange for the sun. ~Bonnie-K >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Polymer Clay Tutorials

Ouuu… I like these colors. The greens are hot. ~Claycass >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Marsh Reeds Color Palette

Cindy, thanks for choosing this flower and palette of colors. The snapdragon was very special to me too. When we first moved into our dilapidated farm house, while my Dad worked on the insulation, windows, and redid the floors, my Mom started raking, mowing and creating garden areas. The snapdragons were on sale at the local nursery so we got them. Tons of them. My first attempt at planting, watering, and deheading. They grew fabulously. We even saved seed from year to year. Every time I close my eyes I can see those beds of them, in every color imaginable. Such joy. Now, I have to go find some and make them roar, LOL! ~Jocelyn-C >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Snapdragon Flower Palette Premo Sculpey

I was driving home the other day and was admiring the gorgeous sunflowers that were in the bright sun. What a beautiful pendant this would make, like the example in the video but put together slightly differently. The “fresh turned soil” color is something that needs to be used by anyone who gardens. I think that’s what draws me to that color especially. ~Koolbraider >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Spotted Lily Petal Cane Video

Ken: I’m so with you on the Stargazer Lily colors! I’m thinking that both of the B Palettes this week would make beautiful lilies, too. Cindy, HOW do you think this stuff up!! I think my brain is going to explode with all the things that could be done with this tut! ~Linda-K >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Polymer Clay Videos

Could make the B-series a separate situation somehow. If indeed the reason the B-series is not treated the same as the A-series is because it is too much extra work, then perhaps members should pay extra or something. It would be a comfort to know we can retrieve any of the palettes when we need to. ~DMc >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Polymer Clay Library
