Member Benefits 031-3: Health Wellness

I’m an aging nurse (still working) with two beautiful grand girls and Parkinson’s disease. Working with clay really helps my hand strength and coordination, not to mention my stress-level!  I sell some of my pieces at the local craft show, on Etsy and on my own web store. ~Susan-A >> This comment was originally posted here: Making Polymer Clay Beads

Alexa, Your jewelry is just beautiful, I can not imagine the pain you are in. I do know that polymer clay is a wonderful escape to ease pain, not only physical, but emotional as well. My husband passed away recently and because of his believing in me, I use polymer clay as a kind of therapy to help ease the pain. I hope it does help with your pain. You are in my prayers and keep making your beautiful jewelry. ~Jackie-N >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Emotional Therapy

Jackie I wish I could take away your pain and sorrow. I too lost a very much loved brother very suddenly and the only way I could cope was do what I love the best… make beads and clear my mind of anything else. Your beads are beautiful and I hope just looking at them will bring all the good memories to you and make you happy once again. May god help you through this sad time. ~Ritzs >> This comment was originally posted here: Coping With Loss

Member Benefits 031-2: Tutoring Support

Wow, that was awesome! I have been playing with the idea of purchasing your course and the weekly videos, and now I’m convinced that it will be worth it! I’ve been wanting to play with clay for awhile, but am a little afraid of it. I SO want to make some of the flower canes to make the trumpet flower beads. Thanks! ~Joyce-R >> This comment was originally posted here: Tear Drop Quick Skinner Blend

Just like Peggy said in a previous comment I had been looking around here for quite awhile, not realizing there is so much more for you when you really join. So I joined only a few days ago, and like Peggy I found Cindy to be on top of everything and couldn’t do enough for me, and yes I feel I have found a like minded friend in Cindy. As you say Peggy I don’t know when she sleeps, because as soon as I had emailed her she has come back with a reply which I needed to know about even tho we are in different time zones. How she does it all I don’t know I am so glad I have joined and have already made use of the content I have in my paid for videos. I have a Makins Extruder and am having fun with it as I had only used it warily before now I’ve got beautiful mod canes I didn’t know I could do. I have been Polying for about 4 yrs on and off , but being here has made me want to focus on becoming really good at what I do and with Cindy’s on going tutoring I sure will. It is so much better to see the videos and see how someone else does things. Thank you Cindy for being who you are and having such a passion for Poly clay and inspiring so many people. Keep up the good work I cant wait to get to the computer every day now. From another Aussie down under Madly passionate Polymer Clayist. Thank you Cindy. ~Elizabeth-K >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Beads How To Videos

Wow, the tuts have helped. I wanted to do advanced things with PC and had absolutely no knowledge of how to work with the stuff. I had just started experimenting on my own and was trying to watch youtube videos but I have found everything I need in this one location and for a reasonable price. The books aren’t very clear and the videos on youtube are hit and miss. I took the beginner course from Cindy and will now start viewing the library videos as well. Still need to mix colors better. Thanks for all the nice comments. Thanks! ~Lorrie-A >> This comment was originally posted here: Craft Glue for Polymer Clay

Member Benefits 031-1: Video Learning

Cindy: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you – for the Bonus Videos – What a treat!  I love the this one with the crayons – can’t wait to try the technique. I am thoroughly enjoying all the videos – I feel I am learning lots! I have my computer running while I am mixing up my colors and playing – it’s like having a friend right there with me. Thank you for all that you have put together with your web site. I hope you don’t get tired of producing videos – because I so look forward to seeing an e-mail from you. Happy claying. ~Molly-F >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Inclusions

I think the $3 per month is well worth it because your instruction are so good and I need someone to show me.  I don’t learn well from pictures in a book that don’t show half of the steps, whereas your videos show all of the steps right there in front of you. Your site is a very valuable service to me and well worth the price! ~Diana-P >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Tutorials on Video

Cindy, Just want to let you know that I have learned so very much from watching your videos, and I enjoy your relaxed style of teaching. You have kept me going during some trying times. Thanks so much! ~Barbara-L >> This comment was originally posted here: Fimo Jewelry Making

You never stop amazing me! I just watched the Hammered Copper Findings video. I was making a necklace last night and I did not have the right findings. So, I was going to use what I had, but I was not happy with that. I was going to go to the craft store to get some. But now thanks to you, I will be at the hardware store instead. Thanks so much Cindy. Oh, I cannot say enough nice things about you so this will have to cover it all: Cindy, you so ROCK! ~Sherry-W >> This comment was originally posted here: Hammered Copper Jewelry Clasps

I got into beading about the same time that I got into polymer clay – they do tend to go hand-in-hand!  I started by making polymer clay pendants then hunting beads to go with them.  It didn’t take me too long or very many internet searches to figure out that I could make the beads at the same time that I make the pendant and everything would match.  Throw in some contrasting glass beads and the results are amazing. Plus you can have different sizes in the same color…  earrings to match… the possibilities are endless! And clicking on to your site (and signing up immediately, I might add) has greatly improved my workmanship! ~Arlene-H >> This comment was originally posted here: Creating Your Own Polymer Clay Beads

Love all your videos so far and have really gotten into making some simple Mokume Gane pendants. Just on the first stage of sanding, but it is making a HUGE difference in how they look as opposed to just putting varnish on them. Thank you so much for your time! ~Dawna-M >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay How To Videos
