Member Benefits 032-3: Sculptural

Thanks, Cindy, for showcasing my first attempts at polymer clay and my little collection of miniature doll furniture and accessories. It’s been two years now and I have learned more here than anywhere. Keep up the good work! ~Catalina >> This comment was originally posted here: Dollhouse Miniatures

Somehow or another I have never come across your website before Cindy. Until last night! I finally decided to give myself an early holiday present and subscribe today. I just watched my very first video, the feather cane, incredible! And you make it look so easy! I have been hand sculpting little clay animals and such for years. But lately I have found myself drawn to the beautiful clay beads that I see. I desperately want to broaden my knowledge of polymer clay art. I know the basics, and I know how to put balls of clay together to make animals and flowers, but I want to know the techniques to make the fancy looking stuff too. None of the books I have looked at really give great instructions or a wide variety of projects. Thank you so much for offering such wonderful tutorials, such a wide variety of project ideas, and at such a great price. ~Anita-M >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Tutorials

How interesting! Just looking at the pictures opens up many ideas. I think a video would be great. Just to let you know I tried one of your recommendations, PYM II spray. I love it! And have a matte spray ordered to use on my sculptures because I don’t want any shine. It makes the bead and chains feel and look so good. After putting them through the rock tumbler, etc. and then with the spray, they are just like satin. I’ve used it for other things also. Thanks for letting us know about it. I have so much catching up to do! Love your site and your videos! Hugs. ~Lynda-D >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Techniques

Member Benefits 032-2: Color Mixing

You know, if you ever decide to give up clay, you’d probably be very successful at Interior Design. Your color palettes are awesome. ~Katie-C >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Recipes

I totally agree that you just need to really “see” what you’re looking at and you’ll find inspiration everywhere. I’m currently working on making beads with the colors that are in my friend’s fleece jacket. I’ve been a decorative painter for many years and often saw things that I’d like to paint, but didn’t think I could pull it off. With clay, you have so much more creative freedom! You can pick up on colors and shapes and experiment with them. You don’t have to reproduce things exactly how you see them. And sometimes there are exciting results to those experiments! ~Linda-K >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Creativity

Cindy – I am amused to tell you that I don’t need to come to your site to know what colours you are featuring next – my sales went up on Glow in the Dark suddenly, and at first I couldn’t work out why! I guess I need to thank you and your team of followers! ~Penny-V >> This comment was originally posted here: Glow in the Dark Premo

Cindy, it takes a special person, like you are, to inspire so many others – not only artistically but by touching their hearts. Oh, and I just LOVE your low tech system with the file cards for storing all of the color recipes. I put mine in a binder, instead of a box, for easy reference! xoxoxoxoxo, ~Lori F >> This comment was originally posted here: Johnny Jump-Up Pansy Cane Video

ETHIOPIA: This is Grace from Ethiopia, I am sure I must be the first person to comment on your blog from Ethiopia. I would like to thank you for your cheerful attitude towards the newbies like me and your encouragement (which sounded very sincere to me, that is why I am writing :) ~Grace-Y >> This comment was originally posted here: How To Make Large Polymer Clay Beads

CYPRUS: As biochemist I work for the ministry of Education and Culture. I finish also an Art School in Athens. I’m teaching stained glass, mosaic and handicraft to the Adults Education Centers. I have for this year 150 students every week. Last July I started the Cyprus Polymer Clay Association. Now the association has 63 members and still growing. I teach Polymer clay for 4 years now and Silver Art Clay for 1 year only. My book will be ready next year in English and Greek. Thank you for your video library. ~Maria-A >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Mixing

NEW ZEALAND: Hi Cindy. I really enjoy your videos and the way you explain things. You have inspired me to try different things. I am new to polymer clay so really appreciate that there is some online teaching available as there is very little in New Zealand. I have attached a couple of pictures of things I have made from polymer clay as I feel more confident thanks to you. I made a cane using the a clay gun and covered a wooden frame that has a picture of my grandson. I started making miniatures just for fun and enjoy that too. I think it is amazing that you answer emails to you as you must be so busy. Thanks again. ~Jo-S >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Success Stories

Member Benefits 031-4: Cane Making

Cindy, this video is totally amazing. How do you ever figure these things out? I was watching and thinking okay, next she is going to… and I was totally wrong and amazed. I saw you slice the block and thought, well that is a interesting way to slice before forming the petals and “Presto Chango” you made it into another log, several times. If anyone has doubts about becoming a member, this video is an example of how fortunate we are to have access to these lessons. ~Anna-S >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Flower Cane Tutorials

Wow!  Now that was one excellent tutorial series, Cindy. Thank you!  I learned so much and had so much fun trying each of the components! Finally, someone demonstrated the need and proper procedure for adding the registration line. Now I understand why so many of my earlier attempts at canes failed. By trying to reduce them by rolling them like a snake, the inner contents got all twisted and irregular. So many wonderful tips, and the final result is spectacular. Due to the nature of the flower chosen, many other natural flowers can be done using the same techniques but changing the colors: blanket flowers, ox-eyed daisies, sunflowers, primroses, phlox, marsh pinks, violets, genetians (ahaha, can tell I have the wildflower book out now…). Just an incredible value for the cost of membership and one series of videos. ~Jocelyn-C >> This comment was originally posted here: Gerbera Flower Cane Tutorial

Goody, goody, goody!! More canes! I’m a bit of a cane-aholic. It is one of the first things I started making when I found polymer clay a loooong time ago. And I have amassed quite a collection by now. I’m familiar with the lace cane and with the jelly roll too. But as usual Cindy, you have put your own very cool spin on them. I especially like the use of the scraps. And the extruder cane I love! Who would have thunk of that? Why Cindy of course! That’s why we love ya sweety! Cant wait for part 2 and 3. Come on Friday! (oh wait, it is Friday, hee hee hee!)  XOXO ~Jamie-H >> This comment was originally posted here: Gerbera Flower Cane
