Member Benefits 038-1: Color Mixing

How lovely!  Looking forward very much to the Forget-Me-Not palette. I always save your descriptions of the four colours, Cindy  – they’re very poetic, you Nature Lover, you! ~Mary-U >> This comment was originally posted here: Premo Color Palettes

Hi Cindy, I want to say thank you for the great color palettes and amazing projects. I love making canes inspired by your rich color groups, and cannot wait until Fridays to see what wonderful projects you have up your sleeves. ~Lindsay-M >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Recipes

I’m useless at colour mixing so it’s brilliant that you guide us through. ~Andrea-D >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Palettes

Another wonderful color palette, Cindy. Someday I hope to take the time to play around with mixing colors but for now I love what you do the best ~Joyce-M >> This comment was originally posted here: Premo Color Recipes

Member Benefits 037-4: Tutoring Support

Cindy, You are the polymer clay guru. Every week I look forward to what new thing you are going to teach us. If you doubled your prices I would still be a member. Thank you so much for all of your time and effort. ~Jayne-S >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Canes

I love the variation you offer Cindy. It is great to not only get polymer clay techniques but also ways to help use your creations. I love the polymer clay bit of jewellery making, but often struggle to turn it into something interesting to wear. Your tutorials help me with this. Always looking forward to my Friday emails. Thanks! ~Cara-H >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Tutor Video Library

Another brilliant tut. You make everything so easy… even something like this that looks so complex, and I love your method where things don’t have to be too precise or perfect!  – Maybe I should just quit my daytime job so I could have enough time to try out all the techniques I have on my ever-growing list! ~Susan-B >> This comment was originally posted here: Easy Kaleidoscope Canes

Now why didn’t I think of that? You make it so simple. It seems so obvious now! But, that is why you are the best! I got to try this tomorrow. I kept thinking how you were going to attempt this and couldn’t come close. You just amaze me. ~Catalina >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Hollow Beads

Member Benefits 037-3: Techniques Tools

OMG, I just watched this video and I have to echo what has already been said here many times – so clever to use a cube to add the slices, then make into whatever shape you want! Why didn’t I think of that? And I have to add that I am learning so many things, WELL WORTH the membership fee! ~Joyce-R >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Bead Swaps

I’ve done mica shift before, but every time you have a video on something I’ve already done, I find out something new. ~Freda-K >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Tutorials

Yes, yes, Yes. Does that count as three votes? Am always looking for ways to make my pieces more unique and you never fail to give me both inspiration and techniques to do just that! And it doesn’t hurt in the least that they are always economical. ~Deb-N >> This comment was originally posted here: Hammered Metal Bezels for Polymer Jewelry

Member Benefits 037-2: Tips Baking

Baking for an hour at 265 degrees is perfection. I haven’t burned anything yet! I did however, sandpaper my finger in my enthusiasm in my first project (a faux rock :). I’m feeling a little more confidence as I go along and am having fun instead of worrying about perfection. Thank you Cindy for your wonderful tutorials and easy style. ~Trudy-M >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Inclusions

Joyce, hang in there girl! Sure sounds a lot like one of my early days at this, lol. The best thing about polymer clay is that it waits for you, so you can take your time and refine each step.  Suggest you get the type of oven thermometer that registers temperature in a marked tube filled with red liquid. They hang from the top shelf of most ovens, and are reasonably priced. You can watch how quickly your temps spike and fall, which helps you to bake it longer for more strength and durability. I burned plenty. Learned to like the look of it too, it can be a lot like raku if there’s some sparkle or mica in it already. ~Jocelyn-C >> This comment was originally posted here: How To Make Polymer Clay Beads

Using ceramic tiles to help avoid problems with baking flat pieces of polymer clay is something I have not yet encountered (told you I was new to this!!). And know I can fix it before it happens!! YAY!!! ~Kam-K >> This comment was originally posted here: Baking Polymer Clay
