Member Benefits 004-5: Course Feedback

I loved the videos. They were easy to watch and I learned a great deal. I’m new to polymer clay and am very thirsty for knowledge. The bonus videos were very helpful. I feel I got my money’s worth and would do it again. I can’t wait for more videos. ~Lynn @ Comment Received Via Email

Hi Cindy: As you know I recently bought your Beginner’s course and I find it is just great. All those hints and tips make a great difference for someone like me just learning how to work with polymer clay (don’t find these in books). Some of us are more visual and need to really see how to do it rather than read on how it needs to be done. I find it just amazing that I can get a video course and see it as many times as I want and stop it, go back, etc. I started making jewelry as a hobby about 5 years ago and think that being able to create our own beads, pendants, etc. in the colors of our choice is amazing. The other thing I like about it is that creating something really opens up your mind and imagination as to what we are capable of. Keep up your great work and please let me know when your next course will be available as I will certainly buy it. Thank you so much. ~Gail @ Video Polymer Clay Tutorials

Member Benefits 004-4: Color Mixing

I love the two shades of green. It really brings more dimension to a piece when I can emulate light and shadow. ~Kimberlee @ Sunflower Polymer Clay Colors

Can you say MUD!! I have had my fair share of mixing the wrong colors together. I have never had a course in color theory and learned pretty quickly that is is difficult to always get the desired result. But thanks to your color recipes I’m doing a lot better now! ~Katina @ Starter Polymer Clay Colors

I love these colors, how u put so much effort into them, making them so accurate. i love how the blues bring out the yellow and orange, and no so much the greens, which makes the flower look more prominent. i tried making a few, and although i didn’t have all the colors that were required, i was able to substitute, and i can pretty close. this really saves alot of time, and no weird heap poo colored clay at the end which u aren’t able to do nothing much with. ~Shirley @ Color Mixing

Member Benefits 004-3: Cane Making

I have tried several canes and they have not worked well, but what the heck. Adventure is the name of the game, and try, try again is what we as clay artist should do. It’s like a runner going for 26 miles and hitting a brick wall at 24 miles. We need to push through it and when we do the feeling can be so high. So I say to all of you who want to quit. Reach for the the Moon and if you fall short, you are still among the stars. Cindy I so want to meet you, and thank you for helping all of us start our journey. ~Sandra @ Polymer Clay Canes

I have to admit that making canes is the most intimidating part of this new craft. I’ve seen some breathtaking canes, realistic peonies and roses and irises (my favorite) that take my breath away. I spent my fiftieth birthday in Venice (amidst the antiquity, heh heh) and was amazed by the milefiore glass on Murano. Just as with polymer clay, a number of different techniques yeilds numerous effects. I think I will master some basics before I explore caning, but I am certainly intrigued! Thanks! ~Sue @ Polymer Clay Cane Inspiration

I stumbled upon your site while searching and researching the internet for any information and help with polymer clay. Ive been working with it about a year, and I’m self taught. I am so anxious to get into the loop and learn from you. Thanks for all you do. Hugs. ~Peg @ Polymer Clay Tutorials

I LOVE your website, Cindy. I have been working with polymer clay for about a year. Thanks! ~Ronda @ Comment Received Via Email

Maggie’s video is an excellent tool for those of use who are growing from “playing” with clay, to turning it into a more serious and mature artform. I have long had difficulty with blending colours and now I have a logical approach to providing my own solution. Thanks for showing us Maggie’s video. ~Carol @ Polymer Clay Color Mixing

You perform a great service to newbies and to those of us who are seasoned clayers. It is surprising how much we sometimes forget about. ~Kriss @ Polymer Clay Tutorials On Video

Dear Cindy, I am so fortunate to have found your blog, and I am very grateful that I have been able to enjoy your “Polymer Clay Bead Making for Beginners Course.” I have learned more from your course, and your bonus videos, than I could have ever guessed I would learn. Each of your videos is so jam-packed with information…yet, because you really know how to teach, you make it all so seem so simple and doable. You explain, in detail, how every part of each process works. You have taught me what tools are the best to use, and how to use them. You have taught me the differences between each different kind of polymer clay, and the best way to work with each of them. Each time I finish a video that you have made, I go away knowing, without a doubt, how to do what I have just been taught. I now have great confidence in my abilities when I work with my clay, thanks to all that I have learned from watching your videos. Through your videos, I have learned how to avoid many mistakes (after all, you have already made them for me!), and how to make beautiful beads, jewelry, and anything I want to make! Making beads and other projects with polymer clay used to be so mysterious to me, now, thanks to your beginner course, I understand what I am doing, and I just get to have all kinds of fun!!! I can hardly wait to so what more you have in store for all of us! Sincerely. ~Cindy @ Comment Received Via Email
