1-A: Pine Wood 2-A: Pine Nut 3-A: Pine Cone 4-A: Pine Tree . . . . |
Pine Wood is the soft yellow brown found on the inside ‘petals’ of the pine cone. Pine Nut is the pale cream found in the highlights of the cone tips. Pine Cone is the purple brown of the stripes on the petals and is the main color of the pine cone when it is closed. And Pine Tree is not only the color of the tree that this cone fell off of, but also the green color found on the tips of the petals as well.

Customer Reviews: Faux Enamel & Viking Knit Bracelet (6 Videos):
- Wow Cindy – talk about getting a ‘bang for your buck’ !! YES! So happy that you are covering this technique **happyhappyhappy… :) ~Tantesherry
- Ohhhh… doing a happy dance. Cindy this tute is wonderful. Your instructions for the viking knit is much more in depth than what you would find on youtube. ~Sandra-J
- Cindy, only you could get me this excited about learning the Viking Knit. I had absolutely no interest before watching your video. I thought it looked too hard and complicated as I had watched a video on youtube and was thoroughly confused when It was over. Oh my gosh have you made it easy! Your step by step close up shots of doing this special technique just blew me away. I am immediately ordering the required tools and wire ends and cannot wait to start making my own wire viking knits for my jewelry creations. Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. It certainly was a lot of bang for my buck! Because of your skilled teaching and the ease of learning your tutorials I have been commissioned to create several necklaces and bracelets that will be gifts to women in China early next year! Wishing you and the family a most wonderful blessed Christmas! ~DixieAnn-S
- Wow! You hit it out of the ball park, Cindy! This is a tool that I never thought would interest me in the slightest! As I was painting some of my ceramic Christmas ornaments (snow babies, too cute to stop doing my ceramics for), I thought to myself, I have this beautiful necklace that really needs a copper chain or something to highlight it, and voila! The mad scientist/Polymer Clay Guru strikes again! So many thanks to you, and your ideas that keep one inspired. ~Marianne-O
- Have wanted to learn this from way back when I bought the draw plate. A BIG THANKS Cindy. ~Elaine-F
- Wow… this video is great. My friend has been doing Viking knit jewelry for awhile and we had been doing shows together. It looked so complicated but you make it so easy. Can’t wait to buy the tools. She made her own by using a dowel and a board with holes drilled in it for the sizing. It’s an alternative to buying one. Not sure which way I will go. When my friend, Ani, made the Viking knit, she placed beads inside the coil before she finished it off. Can you image how beautiful that would be with our polymer clay accent bead in the middle of a plain Viking knit bracelet… or several beads. Thanks again for this great tut. ~Natalie-H
- Sitting in the Jury Room this morning, with Viking Knit tool in hand, waiting to see if I would be impaneled on my 4th jury. Had people around me ask “what is that?” Showed them a sample of finished knit and got a couple of Ooos and Ahhhs. Then I turned on my iPhone and thought I’ll just open my browser and check if there is anything new on Cindy’s site. Who said there are no coincidences? :-) I love the idea of the magnetic clasps and the hooks. ~Bertha-A
- I really like this one. Thank you Cindy for all the great projects. ~Sherry-C
- Cindy Lietz makes the ‘scary’ part So Easy – She breaks down each little step and her husband Doug is great at all the close ups so we don’t miss anything. ~Sherry-L
- Love the faux enameling technique! ~Jocelyn-C
- I have made 4 viking knit chains, one out of single 28 gauge wire, too soft I found, one out of double 28 gauge, a little bit better, one using 26 and one using 22. I am now using 24 and this is by the far the nicest wire to use. It doesn’t get stuck or kink, the 28 wire kinked really badly as it was so soft. This is such a great technique. I “knit” while watching tv, stops me from snacking :) ~Sandra-J
- This is such a wonderful tutorial. Just had to let you know that I am loving the viking knit. It is very relaxing and fun once you get the hang of it. Thanks for the fun. ~Karonkay-C
- I used a metal stencil and as long as you wet it first it works fine. Made two particle ones and they came out great. ~Natalie-H
- Thanks, Cindy. A great way for me to use up all the Viking knit pieces that I have made! You make it look so much easier than I thought it would be! Hugs. ~Nettonya-R
- I just got my first bracelet made… Thank you, Cindy! Your instructions made it even easier to make, I love it! ~Marianne-O
- Cindy, I had often seen Viking Knit taught at bead shows, but this, by far, is the clearest one ever. Thank you so much cuz now I need to go to Michael’s or JoAnn’s to see if they carry the two implements… yum! ~Marilyn-P
- Thank you, Cindy! Every tutorial I watch, I say, wow, she’s good! So helpful and thorough! ~Fran-C
- Still enjoying your videos! Even though I’ve been working with polymer clay for almost 15 years now, it seems like there is always something else to learn. Thank you for your time and talent! ~Gayle-T
- I’m loving the viking knit… I can see it fast becoming a favorite! Thanks for introducing us to such a cool technique, Cindy! ~Betty-B
- Hi Cindy, HONESTLY I think I have bought MOST of the tools/products needed to complete every project you have done a tutorial on for two years. Well, maybe not every one, but pretty closeto it. You make these projects look so EASY, and the fact that if I need to stop and go somewhere, when I return to my work table, I can just hit play, and you are waiting to continue my personal lesson, as if you were sitting right next to me… Thank You for ALL the GREAT INFO, TIPS AND TRICKS and TESTS YOU SPEND SO MUCH TIME ON, TO BRING US THE MOST UP TO DATE, CORRECT INFO ABOUT POLYMER CLAY and MIXED MEDIA CREATING!!!!! ~Kelli-N
- Cindy, you made my Christmas, fevourish working on viking knit, went through 15 yds of wire already, still growing! ~DixieAnn-S
- LOL Dixie Ann I have gone thru about that same amount of WIRE!!!! I never thought I would enjoy doing Viking Knit BUT I very much do enjoy it, THANK YOU Cindy for the GREAT TUTE!!!! ~Kelli-N
- Thanks for another great tute Cindy! Have been working all week on my viking knit and my pendants. ~Jan-W
- Hi Cindy, wow, I’ve been so busy this month, as I’m sure we all have been, that I’m just now getting to my tutorial. It’s amazing as always. I just made a piece with a rose on it using liquid Polyclay, alcohol inks, and some embossing powder. ~Michelle-A
- Hi everyone – a while back, I mentioned I had received my wire and was ready to tackle this Viking Knit tutorial — well I did it:) and with Cindy’s way of teaching us each and every step — and Doug’s close up shots that showed exactly what Cindy’s talking about — It Was A Lot Easier than I had a right to expect — love that pause button;) Video tutorials are great — thank you guys:) ~Tantesherry
- This was a really great tutorial. Thank you for sharing this with us all. It sure makes you think about all the different projects you can start after watching it. ~Suzanne-H
Customer Reviews: Pine Cone A-Series Color Palette (4 Recipe Cards):
- Love this palette as I love pine cones. We used to toss them in the fire when camping. I have a basket too near the fireplace with pine cones. ~Cherie-H
- Gorgeous palette! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted here at the blog, although I keep up with the tutorials, color recipes, YouTube videos, etc. I read the posts here from time to time, though I need to comment more often. Unfortunately, my chronic pain issues and other stuff keep me from being active here the way I used to. I miss all my “Cindy friends!” So, I just wanted to say a quick “Hello” to everyone. Plus, a “Thanks for everything” to Cindy and the Lietz gang. This site just keeps getting better! It’s strange (since I’m not responsible, lol,) but I feel so proud of Cindy and Doug… they’ve made the PCT brand awesome as ever! ~Phaedrakat
- Thanks & keep up the good work! Love, love, LOVE the videos! ~Shawn-W
- Yes I have learned so much from your videos. I know they’re not easy to do, so thank you for educating all of us. ~Sherry-W
- Thank you Cindy… your stuff is fantastic! And you thoroughly explain things… The best kind of teacher :) ~Alison-C
- This color palette brings back so many happy memories of walks in the woods with DH and it will not be the same without him this year, but I will light a special candle and remember lovely Christmases past. So a BIG thanks to Cindy Doug Fisher and Willow, bless you all, have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year…..cheers xxxx. ~Elaine-F
