Vol-068-1: Video #468: Introduction: In this 6 part video tutorial series, you will learn how to create three different polymer clay journal covers using several mixed media techniques. You will also learn many tips, tricks and techniques that you can use to create your own unique style of art journal. The ideas and techniques can not only be used for the projects I demonstrate in this tutorial series, but also for other home decor and jewelry projects as well.

Vol-068-2: Video #469: Rainbow Zebra Journal Cover: In this video, I show how to make a funky rainbow zebra patterned journal cover, that will inspire you whenever you look at it. The youthful cover has a smooth, layered, dimensional design, that looks cool… and it feels great too, when you run your fingers over the raised stripe pattern. This technique works well for journal covers, and anywhere else that colorful zebra inspiration may roam.

Vol-068-3: Video #470: Pavelka Peel Technique: In this video, I demonstrate the simple techniques and tools needed to do the Pavelka Peel treatment, originally created by well known polymer clay artist Lisa Pavelka. I’ll be teaching you how to use Lisa’s signature Transfer Foils as well as metal leaf, to create this wonderful technique with unlimited possibilities. The information you learn in this video will cross over to many other polymer clay projects as well.

Vol-068-4: Video #471: Make Time Altered Book: In this video, I walk you through the process of creating an altered book, mixed media project, with a theme that I call Make Time. It has a rustic distressed looking polymer clay cover, that’s made using alcohol inks, rubber stamps, embossing powders, powdered pigments, metal embellishments and reclaimed watch parts. You can let your creativity run wild with this one, because the the possibilities are truly endless… and I’m not just saying that!

Vol-068-5: Video #472: Baking and Finishing: In this video, I teach you how to how to properly bake and finish your Polymer Clay Journals so that they not only look great, but will also be strong and durable for many years to come. Just as there were many techniques and options for creating the actual journal covers, so are there many ways to finish them. I share with you many tips and ideas, that you can use to customize your creations with your own unique voice.

Vol-068-6: Video #473: Creative Options And Ideas: In this video, I give you a brain dump of ideas to pick and choose from, for working into your own Polymer Clay Journal and Altered Book projects. I show many examples of the options available for the actual journal base, as well as the crazy unlimited ways you can customize the inside pages. Basically, there are as many creative choices for making these art journals, as there are artists themselves! I can’t wait to see what you guys come up with!

Customer Reviews

Speed Boat is the vibrant turquoise shade of this awesome vintage speed boat, parked at the dock on the lake at a campsite in Cor D’Alene Idaho. Aquamarine is the darker teal color of the tarpaulin, protecting the interior of the vessel from the elements. Pinstripe is the soft gray of the racing stripes down the side of the boat. And Wake Foam is the color of the top side of the pleasure craft, as well as the color of the foamy wake the boat leaves behind as it speeds through the water..

Customer Reviews: Polymer Clay Journals (6 Videos):

  • So excited to see this tutorial. Love the different techniques – the journal covers are awesome. Already have an idea for my journal. You’re fabulous! Cindy really inspires us, doesn’t she? ~Cherie-H
  • Oh I am just squealing with delight over this tutorial. I have seen others make these and have always wanted to make one. I’m still keeping notes in an old spiral notebook that must be 30 yrs. old but the wealth of information I have in it covers many different Crafts. ~DixieAnn-S
  • My goodness Cindy, you have outdone yourself a thousand times and more with this set of videos. My mind IS spinning from what you have shown.Your dedication to us is astounding, your love for art shows thru in what you teach and the fact that you don’t charge nearly enough for the privilege (for indeed it is a privilege) to be a part of this group. In all honesty I do not know how or where you find the time to do all that you do. In this video series alone, there must have been oodles of hours that went into it. No wonder you delayed a week. I sincerely hope you do take time for yourself and your family. Take care. ~Sandra-J
  • UNBLOCKING OUR MINDS… a poem by ~Elaine-F
    • Our dear CINDY sets us free
      Just like we were at the age of three
      Getting all messy with paint and inks
      (I reckon I’ll fetch my shades of pinks).
    • I’ll dab and I’ll rip
      This is sooooo much fun
      With some cogs and some watches
      (Yep THIS is the one).
    • Who would have thought
      It would blow my mind
      CINDY dear
      YOU are one of a kind!
    • I loved the Zebra
      With stripes and all
      A rainbow of colours
      That will never pall.
    • Gold or Silver, it’s hard to choose
      So, I might use both
      I’ve got nothing to loose
      Shall I make it textured, or really smooth?
    • So, thank you CINDY
      You’ve done it again
      You bring on my sunshine
      Amid all that rain … (flooded here in UK).
    • Makes me want to do one
      For my own special mate
      (Although he’s passed and departed, it’s never too late).
      SO, I’ll say it again Your journals are GREAT!
  • I love the journal covers. Elaine your poem is very creative! ~Kelly-B
  • Really enjoyed the journal tut but I liked the letter T stamped sideways on clay. You showed a nice variation of techniques. It is amazing that you have time to journal and scrapbook. When do you sleep? ~Anna-S
  • Cindy, you have out done yourself again :) This January 2014 tutorial is overflowing with amazing ideas and tips – Thanks for all the hard work you and Doug put into these. ~Sherry-L
  • Thank You for doing this tutorial!!! I never could get mine to work and you showed me my errors!! ~Shilo-T
  • Wow Cindy!  How do you have time to do all of this?! Amazing tute once again!! Thank you so much! ~Karen-K
  • Thank you Elaine! I giggled all the way thru the wonderful poem.  You have added another dimension to Cindy’s tute. Cindy – yes my mind in a whirl.  Have to think which way I want to go!! Mixed media is so much fun.  Anything goes. Thank you for leading us thru this new way to express ourselves. This is soooooooooo freeingggggggggggggg! ~Patt-W
  • I am a newbie, to both polymer clay and this site, and am totally awed, amazed, and inspired! This video is wonderful. Very loose and freewheeling. I love – among so many other things – how you seem to anticipate our questions and provide the answers like magic. Quite a bit after you had cut those neat little square holes in the cover, I was wondering “Hmm, I will have to ask, how does she actually get the cover onto the book,” when, Voila! you turned the book over and showed the coils and how to open them. Even though I am new here, before I joined I watched as many free tuts as I could find, and this seems to be one of your great skills, knowing just what people really need to understand to accomplish what you are teaching. Also, and to me this is the most important thing, you have a way of encouraging and inspiring to bring out our own creativity. I am one of those people who gets crippled by her own fears when it comes to expressing myself in creative ways, and your ease and manner and judgement-free style are very supportive. So thank you, thank you. I believe I am going to have many years of fun and joy here. Oh, and I am from New Hampshire, and when you go on that road trip to Florida you will have to go the long way ’round and stop here! ~Fran-V
  • Cindy – I really love your site! In fact I love it so much that I purchased the rest of the back issues. I’ve been wanting to go to Milwaukee for the Bead & Button Show for the last 3 years to take their ‘Fundamentals of Polymer Clay’ 3 Day Class, but it was too expensive and I didn’t think that I’d be able to sit through 3 days and work all day with polymer clay and retain the info especially with my Fibromyalgia and other health issues. Then I found your site last October and figured this is the way to learn. I love your teaching style and clear videos. I can sit at home and learn a little at a time with no time restrictions. I’d also be able to look up the instructions when needed and see up close what to do. Also I’d be able to ask any questions and get almost instant feedback from you and/or other members of the PCT Family. I’ve already learned so much more from you than I would from any 3 day class. Thank you. ~Marianne-H
