Don’t know how I missed this post. I was wondering too about making a mold of a carved bead and trying to figure out how I could join two halves together. This makes it so much easier. Thanks Cindy. ~Cheryl-H >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Heart Beads For Valentines Jewelry
Cindy I really love your videos. I live in a rural area where I don’t have access to workshops, so I really appreciate your workshop-like videos. Last weekend I made a mod cane following the instructions on your video and I was amazed at how easy it was! I have been wanting to work with polymer clay for quite some time, and had even bought some of the supplies. However, I couldn’t get over that hurdle of actually sitting down and making something until I watched your step-by-step videos. Thank you! ~Karen-B >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Polymer Clay Cane Making
I love these beads and have tried to make them before when I found tutorials, but they never turned out like this. This method is so much easier and more accurate! I can’t wait to try these again. You always make things so easy for us. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful tips!! ~Terri-N >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Pillow Beads for Your Jewelry Projects
Hi, Cindy! If it were for me, I’d gladly watch videos about the faux semiprecious stones every Friday. I enjoyed all the “faux” videos I’ve seen here until now. Of course, the faux raku was just the icing on the cake. And I love all the innovations you come up with and that we can see nowhere else on the net. On the other hand, all the techniques you teach are so instructive, even if we tried them before. So I’m sure you’ll continue to be great, whatever technique you’ll show us. ~Squash >> This comment above, was originally posted at the following link: Polymer Clay Jewelry Making Tutorials

Neato… I know my DH has a dremel… I will have to see about getting it out and seeing how it works! ~KeriLee-S >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Buffing Polymer Clay Beads with a Rotary Tool
Cindy, I just got around to watching the Dremel demo and I can’t wait to try holding the tool in my left hand. I have been working with Sculpey III for years and am just finding out, that it’s not me causing the problems. I am switching to Premo and looking forward to buffing some new beads. Thanks for this video. ~Susan-K >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Making Polymer Clay Jewelry
Cindy thanks for your instructions. They were easier to understand than the instructions on the back. Also I just purchased this extruder and it is easier than the push type. I didn’t get the case to hold the discs and extruder so your a lucky gal! This is something I thought about… if you use the alcohol to clean the end maybe it would make the 0-ring last longer if I put a little Armor All on the ring periodically. Would that help keeping it from drying out? Working with cars we do that to all rubber 0 rings. ~MaryEllen-S >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Makins Professional Ultimate Clay Extruder
Hi, Cindy, Great tutorial! I see teardrop blends in my future. Your method is much easier than trimming up all those triangles. Clay is fun, but I flub things up without even trying. This looks like it just may be a flub-proof method. This is exciting. Thanks! ~Cariad >> This comment above, was originally posted at the following link: Tear Drop Method The Quickest Skinner Blend You’ll Ever Make
Hi Cindy. Wow thank you for the work you put into developing this technique. The video is well done and your directions very clear! Thanks! ~Vanessa-G >> This comment above, was originally posted at the following link: Lietz Teardrop Method Polymer Clay Color Blends
Phaedrakat – I joined at video #15. I love each video set Cindy has. I went back and bought several of the back issues. #9 was one that I bought. I too, wanted to know her shortcut to the skinner blend. All of volume #9 has GREAT ideas as well. Yes, it is worth it. You won’t be sorry!!!! ~Stephanie-B >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Polymer Clay Flower Cane Tutorials
Ok, you finally got me with this one. I am becoming a member. You almost had me with the Rock Tumbler but thought I might be able to figure it out on my own (I haven’t) and since lately I have been into transfers, I have got to see / learn this technique. I guess it’s about time I didn’t have to make mistakes and let you do it. LOL. I will ALWAYS make mistakes but maybe a tiny bit less now. Thanks for your help Cindy. ~Laurel-B >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Alcohol Ink Effects on Crackled Gold Leaf
Thank you – I have always thought it would be too difficult to achieve so I have avoided doing wire work. You have made it look achievable and I know that I will be making these clasps for my jewellery now. Financially this is an amazing bonus – thank you again. ~Cara-L >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Hammered Copper Findings fro Polymer Clay Jewelry

This is the video that convinced me to become a member. I just love this effect and can’t wait to try it. I’m REALLY new to clay so I’ll have to start slow, but one day I hope to be proud of my creations. Thank you for all of the tips and tutorials! ~Jayne-W >> This comment was originally posted at the following link: Mica Shift Tutorial
