Vol-071-1: Video #502: Introduction: In this 6 part video tutorial series, you will learn how to create my original Polymer Clay Foxglove Earrings and Raindrop Pendant deigns. Included are many tips, tricks and techniques that you can use to create translucent color blends in the colors I suggest, or your own, to make truly one-of-a-kind Foxglove and Raindrop Beads. These pretty and stylistic looking flower beads can then be used to create gorgeous earrings, pendants, and other jewelry projects. As well, you will learn to make Rainbow Raindrop Beads that you can use the make the wire wrapped pendant in Part 5 of this series, or a myriad of other creative jewelry projects of your own.
Vol-071-2: Video #503: Rainbow Raindrop Beads: In this video, I show how to make the custom color blends using Premo Sculpey White Translucent polymer clay and Sharpie Permanent Markers, that will allow you to make the lovely rainbow colored raindrop beads in this Part 2 of the series. I give the exact amounts of clay needed for the project, and teach you how to combine them into custom ink blends in a way that you will be not only surprised about, but will be pleased how easy it is to recreate yourself… even if you are a total beginner.
Vol-071-3: Video #504: Sculpted Foxglove Beads: In this video, you will take what you learned in Part 2 a step further, by creating a new color blend and sculpting it into a beautiful stylized Foxglove Flower that can be used to make the gorgeous flower earrings. You could also make a matching pendant or dangle if desired. Customizing the color blends is easy by following inspiration from Google Images of Foxgloves… or maybe even from your own garden. What you learn in this video can be adapted to other polymer clay projects as well.
Vol-071-4: Video #505: Baking and Finishing: In this lesson, you will learn about some specialized information for baking the translucent polymer clay beads and flowers created in the previous videos of this series. These gorgeous beads need very little finishing, though there are a few small pointers that will help to make your beads look more professional than if you just used them straight from the oven. Both the Raindrops and the foxglove beads are very versatile and can be used in any situation where you would use a teardrop or flower shaped bead… almost anywhere!
Vol-071-5: Video #506: Wirewrapped Raindrop Pendant: In this video you will learn some simple wire wrapping techniques. I talk about what gauge and temper of wire is best suited to make it easy for you to create classy wire jewelry designs for yourself and your friends. The pretty design I show how to make in this Par 5 video, includes a crystal at the bottom that brings a little sparkle to to the project, and makes your rainbow patterned raindrop bead dance in the bright Spring sunshine… just like you will shine when you wear this dainty charm!
Vol-071-6: Video #507: Kidney Shaped Ear Wires: In this video the Foxglove Earrings project comes together! First you will learn how to make your own custom sized Kidney Shaped Ear Wires, one of the most secure of all the earwire designs. You will learn the secrets to making these ear wires in several different sizes, as well as the type of wire and tools that you will need to get them made at a fraction of the cost of purchasing ready made ear wires. With all the tips and tricks I share in this tutorial series, it will leave your head spinning. Let’s just say, once completed, your whole world will be coming up Foxgloves and Raindrops!

1-A: Stream 2-A: River Bed 3-A: River Flow 4-A: Brook . . . . |
Stream is that peaceful blue green of the water as it flows over the boulders in the stream. River Bed is the color of the shallow waters flowing over the pale river rocks. River Flow is the soft blue color where the deeper blue tones of the mineral dense waters mix with the frothy bubbles of the turbulent rapids. And Brook is the clear true blue where the current moves the slowest and swirls around the deep sink holes created by the years of erosion.

Customer Reviews: Foxgloves & Raindrops (6 Videos):
- Cindy, just love this concept and design, especially using foxglove, one of my favorite flowers. In the lower part of the picture, the row of foxgloves radiate like the aurora borealis is bouncing off them. ~Jocelyn-C
- Just loved this tutorial! You tuck so much info into each video. I love the translucent with marker Skinner blend, love the wire wrapping, and of course, love learning how to make the kidney wires. Where can one get so much value from one tutorial? Well done, Cindy and Doug! ~Michele-H
- This is a great video and I think I can do the wire wrap. It looked pretty easy. Thank you Cindy for this tutorial and including the wire earrings and wrap. ~Cindy-P
- Thank you Cindy for such a pretty tutorial – Foxgloves bring back nice memories of growing some from seeds. It took 2 years but my goodness they were worth the wait. Also want to add that the wire working – as you do it, takes the fear of messing up, out of the project – so thank you so much for taking the time to make sure we see each and every step. It’s quite the confidence builder. It is just amazing how you come up with such creative ideas/tutorials each and every month Cindy – Just Amazing :) ~TanteSherry
- I do have to order the Sharpies! SOOOOOOO, while I am waiting, I will use inks instead. THEN, naturally, I will have to make more… Grin. This is such a versatile tute! Thank you so much! ~Patt-W
- WOW see I picked a great project to come back on. Love the foxglove flower and the jewelry you have designed in reference to it is magnificent. I haven’t been working with clay much at all this past winter and now spring. Hoping to get back into it a little more very soon. I love using translucent with inks and markers. The colors you can come up with are endless. Love this tutorial and have missed visiting with everyone here so much. Can’t promise I am back to stay but I will try harder to come around more often. Cindy and Doug have once again hit the ball right out of the park with another grand tutorial. Thanks so much. ~Peggy-B
- Hi Cindy and Doug, LOVE the foxglove flowers!! And the rainbow rain drops are just too CUTE!!!! ~Stephanie-B
- Hi Cindy, I know where I am going as soon as I’ve finished my coffee. Down to the print and copy shop as I spotted the coloured Sharpies on sale last week but only bought the dark set. They only had a couple of the light sets on display, so just hoping they haven’t sold out as it was a good offer. Both the wire wrapped teardrop and kidney shaped ear wires I hadn’t attempted before. Young sister’s birthday next week, guess what she’s going to get, made by my own fair hands, with expert tuition from our very clever tutor. Thanks so much for for choosing the rainbow as I know these colours go with everything….. cheers xx. ~Elaine-F
- WOW is right! These are magnificent! Imaginative and beautiful. What a way to begin my membership. And the added benefit of the wire work lesson is great, too. Thank you so much for such inspiring work. ~Fran-V
- I have so many ideas floating through my brain after watching these tutorials. The foxglove is such a pretty delicate flower. The wire wrap put just the right finishing touch on the bead. I never made kidney wires because they always looked a little complicated but the video was so detailed step by step I am so anxious now to make some as I have a problem losing earrings all the time especially the heavier ones. Short necks and woolen neck scarfs always seem to create this problem. I was equally impressed with the way the sharpie ink was transferred to the clay. Great idea there Cindy! ~DixieAnn-S
- Signed up today. I am a newcomer to PC (not much better with the computer). I find working with PC fascinating and am anxious to make the gorgeous things I see in the books. I am 96 years old so I guess I’ll have to hurry. ~Hannah-W
- I love this video series, you make it so easy to understand. Thanks Cindy. ~Paula-G
- Cindy – I love your videos and wouldn’t want to be without them! ~Margaret-S
- I love the tear drops, what a great tutorial, thank you Cindy, your videos have been a great help. ~Virgina-L
- I just want to say that your video tuts are very helpful – the best I have seen. I made a good investment. Thank you. ~Hannah-W
- I watched the full tutorial for this when it was first posted but I hadn’t yet worked it hands on until today. It’s so much fun and easy to follow! I was amazed at the beautiful blended translucent colors from Sharpie Markers! Who would’ve thought? I made both the Raindrops and Foxgloves and they came out so pretty. Wonderful fun tutorial…Thanks Cindy! ~Miz-J
Customer Reviews: River Flow A-Series Color Palette (4 Recipe Cards):
- What a beautiful photo, I thought it was a painting at first, it looks as though it should be framed and hung on a wall. I appreciate your color recipes for so much more than just mixing new clay colors… I struggle with color in every aspect it can be used!!!!!! From painting my walls to designing new pieces of jewelry and everything in between!!! I just wanted to say Thank You for these color recipes (I call them COLOR RESCUES). Currently I am working on a jewelry piece, as part of a design challenge, and this color recipe gave me the fourth color I was struggling to add for some dimension!!!! Thanks AGAIN for all the great information you and your family provide all of us for such an AWESOME PRICE!!!! Anyone on the fence about signing up for the membership ~ This site is about ALOT MORE than polymer clay and they don’t really know what they are missing!! ~Kelli-N

The river photo reminds me of all those good fishing days ahead. Cindy you certainly know how to invoke such lovely thoughts with your colors. You are certainly a child of Mother Nature! ~DixieAnn-S
- I’m learning more about color theory from the recipes than I could ever learn from a book. This is another beautiful palette. Thanks Doug for your uncanny ability to capture the beauty of nature, and to you, Cindy, for your uncanny ability to translate it into recipes we can incorporate into our work. What a team!! ~Elizabeth-S
