Member Benefits 007-4: Color Mixing

I like your color recipes and really would like more. I do have a problem with picking colors that look good together. I like earthtones and they do not reduce well, and tend to get lost in my designs when reduced. I have been working with polymer clay for quite some years now. I have a lot of molds, tools, clay, etc. Thanks for your help from all of us clayers. ~Lynn @ Fingerprints and Polymer Clay

Oh cool, thanks for posting these color recipes! ~Kristy @ Red Polymer Clay Color Recipes

Dear Cindy, I was toooo late I know. Is there any chance to get the bonus recipes? I started with PC beginning of September and at the beginning I was not so familiar what I really need and what not. And now I know…. I need colors and of course a lot of colors, much more then Premo, Cernit and Fimo offers right from the pack. I will order the back issues within the next week, but how could I get the bonus colors. I love your side and your tipps. Greetings from Germany (and sorry for my horrible english). ~Janine @ Color Recipes for Polymer Clay Canes

Member Benefits 007-3: Cane Making

Dear Cindy. How do you always read my mind? I was just trying to figure out the best way to store my canes (which I’m happy to say are looking better!) when out pops this video. Thank you, yet again! ~Maria @ Polymer Clay Storage

LOL – okay, now I HAVE heard everything!  How cool is that? ~Laurel @ Polymer Clay Nail Art Canes

Dear Cindy… I just wanted to correct myself. I knew that I had seen your ingenious idea of keeping your clay on an ice pack while you were claying, and I thought I saw it in one of your video previews.  Well, last night in the middle of the night, I remembered that I had seen this great idea of yours on your cane slicing page (tutorial).  I just wanted to be sure to correct myself so that anyone reading my post wouldn’t go on a wild goose chase trying to find your idea in the wrong place. Thanks…and yes…I was claying in bed all night again!!! ~Cindy @ Problems with New Premo Formula

Member Benefits 007-2: Beginners

Hi, thought the mokume gane video was really helpful. I’m new to polymer clay and I’ve wanted to have a go but found the picture instructions quite hard to get a grasp of, but actually seeing someone do has made a big difference and I’m going to have a go. Thanks very much. ~Debbie @ Mokume Gane Polymer Clay Jewelry

I really liked the part about adding translucent clay to give it a more realistic translucency. I can see all the flowers in my mind now, of course being new it will take me a while but I will get there. Thanks. ~Cheryl @ Polymer Clay Cane Designs

Cindy I just purchased your beginners course and I like it very much. There are so many little details that no one else tells you. I have seen the lentil beads you make and they look amazing. I want to start making polymer clay beads and combine them with the tagua nut beads that I sell. I guess these will be the perfect combination. I am just starting with polymer clay and I am really apprehensive as to making canes or any other complicated project. I would also like to know when you will have your next 2 courses available as I would be interesed in buying both. Thank you for your help. Best regards. ~Gail @ Polymer Clay Bead Making

Member Benefits 007-1: Tips Baking

Thanks for the idea about the tile sandwich. I will have to put this in my notes. ~Brenda @ Baking Polymer Clay

Wow Cindy, I feel like such a Daaaaaa, never thought about putting another tile on top and let it cook a little longer. Great no more curled edges. Think I will invest in a few more tiles of different sizes that way I won’t tie up my main working tile. So much info in your articles. Thanks once more. ~Yvonne @ Baking Flat Polymer Clay Sheets

My primary interest in using polymer clay is to create beads for jewelry, but this article has sparked an interest in flat pendants, as well. I never would have thought of putting cardstock in the oven! Home Depot here I come, for drywall sandpaper and ceramic tiles – I can’t wait to experiment with this new idea! Thanks! Thanks also to the readers who posted some additional tips here! ~Sue @ Common Polymer Clay Baking Problems
