Customer Reviews

Harvest Sun is the soft buttery yellow found on the tips of this happy sunflower’s petals. Pumpkin Spice is the soft spicy orange found where the color shifts on the petals from the yellow tips to the dominant orange ring near the seeds. Rose Hip is the fiery dark orange that still has a softness to it. And Fall Field is the dusty green of the sunflower leaves, as they begin to dry out and fade as the sunflower seeds begin to ripen in the fall sun.

Customer Reviews: Polymer and Wood Ornaments (6 Videos):

  • Perfect timing Cindy. With the recent birth of my 2nd nephew, I was just talking with my mom about needing to come up with a Christmas ornament for both. This will do Very Nicely thank you Cindy :) ~Tantesherry
  • Cindy, I am so excited about this tute series. Only watched the first couple of videos.  A Cindy quote:  “There is no use doing a clunky job.”  Well, that’s the truth! Just so impressed with this lamination technique, and love that DREAM piece, done with a Teardrop blend using the new black glitter Premo. There a just tons of wooden things that could be used in this approach, and that Kato PolyPaste hold fast, I’ve used it for years. You could use the PolyPaste to apply a lamination to a regularly finished wooden piece as well, would just sand down the one spot, cut some scratches into the wood so the PolyPaste  has a surface to grab into, then voila.  Watch pre-finishes in the oven, they might bubble or darken, but the small finished wooden boxes I’ve used have done an hour at 275 degrees, no problems. K, now back to the videos… ~Jocelyn-C
  • About 5 years ago while doing a craft show I wandered round the other stalls while my pal looked after my stall. I found a guy selling laser-cut wooden tree ornaments. Never seen them before and never got round to using them, but seeing what Cindy is showing us, I have searched in all my craft places and eventually found them so really glad that Cindy has come up with this tutorial. Thanks Cindy.  Now off to the shops to get some easy cook meals so I can play with clay with Cindy. ~Elaine-F
  • Just what I was waiting for!  My husband made a small wood jewelry box earlier this year from some nice maple wood, left it sanded but not decorated in any way.  So I was wondering how I could put polymer decoration on it.  Now I can learn!  I will study this tutorial very, very carefully and try to force myself to follow directions ;) Thanks, Cindy! ~Anna-G
  • Never have I seen this application! I can see using the techniques all year long! Isn’t that great? During the hot summer, when things are really quiet – play with your clay and laser cut forms! So mannnny possibilities – my mind is spinning – in a good way.  Thank you Cindy (and family) for all your hard work. We are so lucky to have you as our Polymer Clay Tutor!!! ~Patt-W
  • Cindy, I think you read our minds. I was looking for some new ideas for Christmas and this tut is great. I covered some small wooden needle cases for a woman who is in a quilting group.  She just loved them.  But, I learned the hard way that you should bake the wood before covering. Otherwise, there is a possibility that the wood will expand and break the clay. Thanks for all your insights. They are wonderful! I know I don’t contribute much to the comments section, but I truly love all the tutorials. Just this year, I started doing craft fairs. I am very introverted so it is a big deal for me. I’ve used your faux rust, abalone, etc. tutorials to cover various items  and people just love them. The pens are  a hit too. I cover the pens with all of your great canes, etc. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.  You are truly a gifted woman and I appreciate you sharing your gifts with me :)  ~Vivian-B
  • There is definitely something of the psychic in you Cindy. I’ve recently bought a wooden bracelet blank and was wondering what I should do before applying polymer clay. This is so brilliant, thank you very much! ~Marion-R
  • Perfect timing Cindy! I was just in Michael’s yesterday looking at all the wood letters and words … and wondering how I was going to do something with them. ~Michele-K
  • I watched all the videos and can’t wait to get started. I always have a lot of wooden ornaments and other wood projects around for the grandkids to paint on. Just wait till they find out they can use the colored pencils then put translucent over it. Only one thing they like more than coloring and painting and that is Polymer Clay. I need to go through all my wood items so I can pick out my favorites before the kids get to them. This is going to be so much fun working with these. I am so excited about this new tutorial. Thanks for another great group of tutorials. Sending lots of Uuuuuuggs. ~Peggy-B
  • Wonderful tutorial and so inspiring, like everyone else my head is just spinning with possibilities! Btw I have found that in removing stickers if you hit them with a heat gun or in my case as I don’t have one, the blow dryer, they peel right up without lifting any fibres or leaving any residue behind. I have used this technique when cleaning jars that have tacky labels, so much faster and cleaner than soaking and scrubbing. ~Cheryl-B
  • Very nice Cindy.  I too have some wooden frames and ornaments that have been hanging around my house just waiting for this technique, lol.  ~Michelle-A
  • Thanks again Cindy! Love this series. Just in time for me too; our Guild is doing Christmas ornaments at our next meeting. Ummm… I’m thinking I’d love to try your micro mosaic technique on these wooden pieces. ~Dawn-B
  • Thank you, and please keep the great videos coming! You have inspired me to do great things. ~Marianne-O
  • Been with Cindy for 5 years now, she still comes up with the best tutorials! ~Tina-A
  • My first paid tutorial and what a little beauty it is! Thanks, Cindy. I have three million (well, almost!) Prismacolour pencils and I’ve now learned a new use for them. Thanks for the inspiration :-) ~Chrissie-F
  • I love Cindy’s Tuts. I don’t remember when I joined but it was pretty close to the beginning of Polymer Clay Tutor (2008). Many times I do not get around to making the Tut of the Month, but will go back later and work on a project. The great thing about subscribing to Cindy’s tutorial series is they never expire. I just finished a project using two of the previous tutorials, Journal Covers and this Polymer Covered Wood Ornaments series. I am really bad about loving the process, but being critical of my work. I LOVE how this project turned out !!! The wood butterfly ornament is gorgeous but next time I will pick a wood ornament with fewer holes… LOL. Now I am on to micro mosaic pins and finishing the viking chain for my enamel bracelet. ~Anna-S

Customer Reviews: Sunflower Field A-Series Color Palette (4 Recipe Cards):

  • Lovely colors Cindy, never get tired of them Just reading Pumpkin Spice makes my mouth start to water for Pumpkin Pie and anything pumpkin with a big dollop of whipped cream on top. With temps in the lower 40’s here, now is the perfect time for those warm harvest colors. Thanks again for another great color palette. ~DixieAnn-S
  • Wow, it’s amazing how close that color combo on the sunflower comes to the blanket flower I grow here, it’s beautiful! Simply fabulous tute, Cindy, I learn more from you about color than I have anywhere else.  Thank you so much! ~Jocelyn-C
  • Thanks Doug and Thanks Cindy for all the colour recipes you create for us. Love the Sunflowers. ~Elaine-F
