Member Benefits 030-3: Color Mixing

I am a painter and didn’t think that I would need the recipe cards because I am so used to mixing paint colors together… well… I LOVE THE RECIPE CARDS!!!  You have shown me that there are sooooooo many different colors that I can make from my clay!  So many different greens, blues, reds, purples, yellows, and even metallic colors and different natural “white” colors.  Thank you so much! ~Cindy-E >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Tutor Library

I never thought of myself as a color person. But thanks to Cindy I’ve been playing more and more with clay mixing. It’s so fun to just take lots of bright colors like pinks and neon greens and blues and end up with a beautiful earth tone color. Very cool. ~Rada-F >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Quiz

I love how you take inspiration for color palettes from your environment! It’s so much more fun than just looking at color swatches. ~Karen-B >> This comment was originally posted here: Premo Clay Color Recipes

WOW, this technique of yours is awesome…. Thank you so much for sharing with us… I love your color blends and look forward to them every week, but this was the icing on the cake… I can’t wait to try it, especially since it’s much faster. ~Michele-N >> This comment was originally posted here: Lietz Teardrop Color Blend Method

Everyone who saw my butterfly wing cane absolutely loved them! And there’s absolutely no way I could have done this as a first cane without Cindy’s guidance and video, and have it come out near as well as it did! All credit goes to her when I tell anyone about any of my polymer clay work, but especially these. Thank you so much Cindy! ~Tanya-L >> This comment was originally posted here: Butterfly Wing Canes

Cindy, I absolutely loved your butterfly wing tutorial. I have been working on those for the past few days… Pendants, Pins, Hair barrettes… the possibilities are endless because of your wonderful ability to teach. I have also made dragonfly’s from the same cane. I was so amazed at how easy it was. I would love to show pictures as soon as I have them finished. I think I will probably post some on my face book page. Thanks again everyone for your encouragement it means the world to me. ~Jackie-N >> This comment was originally posted here: Butterfly Cane

I recently realized zebra print is more popular than I thought. I sold a set of bangles and got a request for a second set that I’m finishing today. Thanks for showing it to us. ~Katie-C >> This comment was originally posted here: Blend and Switch Technique

Hiya Cindy – I had so much fun making the Tribal Cane, I had to have my laptop next to me, playing, starting, and stopping the video – but I am extremely pleased with the results! You are one heck of a teacher Cindy, and I thank you for everything I learn from you!! And I learn a lot!!! ~Lisa-W >> This comment was originally posted here: Tribal Canes

What a cool technique!  Of course, it’s one of about ten I’ve got lined up to try now that I finally have some time.  Looking forward to the videos next month. I’d like to second the comment about value for money. Your videos are great information. Thanks so much, Cindy. ~Sue-W >> This comment was originally posted here: Deep Crackle Bead Techniques

This technique is so cool, I really like the round and lentil beads in previous lessons. I could never figure out how to do this on my own and need a visual. The nice thing about these beads is they are different that what most other people are making.  With 12,000 polymer clay listings on Etsy, these would really stand out. I have not yet listed on Etsy and my concern in is how do you get noticed. I know a good photo is the key but originality is also very important. I hope others will realize the great opportunity to learn this Raku Technique and will hound Cindy to make a video lesson. ~Anna-S >> This comment was originally posted here: Faux Raku Mosaic Tube Beads

Hey Cindy! I’ve been in Heaven part of this morning — checking over all of the clay information. Plan on trying a bunch of them!! Your techniques are unbelievable, and so simplified!! Can tell that you really found your LOVE! Oops!! I should add, other than  your True Love (your hubby)! Thanks so much for all that you are giving to us (a gift)! I am elated with your website, and glad that I am a member too. THANKS FOR SHARING!!! ~Diana-S >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Tutorials

Hi Cindy :) i L-O-V-E your site! i am brand new to polymer clay and i am trying to learn as much as i can – and your site is THE most helpful one i’ve found! thanks! ~Ashley-G >> This comment was originally posted here: Baking Polymer Clay

Hi Cindy, I am fairly new to polymer clay. And I was making mistakes and didn’t know it. But when I found your courses , I was delighted to see how much fun it was to work with polymer clay when you handle it properly. And your videos revealed my mistakes and the right way to do things, So I am delighted to be a part of your teaching and I will keep adding more courses as I progress. I am pleased to say I have already sold 2 necklaces I learned how to make on the videos. I have been making jewelry for a little over 2 years , but making your own beads is so cool. So thanks for making mistakes and sharing so I don’t have to. Sincerely. ~Marilyn-S >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Recipes

I’m thrilled to have found your course! I had played with polymer clay for a short time a few years ago but set it aside. Your course has helped to ignite a passion, and I’m very grateful for the work you put into it, along with your blog and your library. You see, I had a stroke in 2001. I’m okay physically, but the depression can really get in the way. One day in February was unusually warm, and I decided to go out and run a few errands (which is sometimes difficult when depression rears its head). I stopped by our local Barnes and Noble to have a cup of coffee at the café, and of course I had to find a magazine to read while enjoying the coffee. PolymerCAFE jumped out at me. Reading it caused me to feel something I hadn’t experienced in a long time – enjoyment! When I got home, I googled polymer clay, and found your course. Cindy, I’m hooked! I’m a rank amateur, but the passion is there. This feeling – being passionate about something – is one I haven’t experienced in many years, and your work has played a big part. I simply cannot thank you enough. Serendipity is always such a wonderful surprise, and that’s what happened – the warm weather, the magazine, your course. I never expected any of them, but together they have set me on a course that I’m thoroughly enjoying. What I love about your course (and your library videos) is your wonderful down-to-earth, chatting-with-a-friend attitude. Your depth of knowledge comes through, but it’s in a quiet way that I appreciate. It leaves me feeling encouraged, not intimidated (as many experts often make me feel). Thank you so much for being there! ~Linda-D >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Beads

I highly recommend Cindy’s site. I am a member and the videos and recipes are worth the fee. Maybe there is information for free on the net but you have to have the time to sift through all of it.  Cindy’s tutorial comes to you and they are very easy to follow with a wealth of information. Cindy always takes the time and is very prompt answering any questions and helping which you will not be able to get through any of the other free info out there. ~Pereira-F >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Extruder Mod Cane

Hi Cindy: I view your site as my own personal polymer clay guild as I am not able to get out to join one that is local to me. I truly appreciate being given the opportunity to be a member of your “club”. Thanks so much for everything that you are doing. I am learning so much more than I ever would on my own. Warmest regards. ~Carol-C >> This comment was originally posted here: Selling Jewelry to Niche Markets
