1-A: Watermelon Dahlia 2-A: Salmon Tulips 3-A: Purple Limonium 4-A: Purple Millet . . . . |
Watermelon Dahlia is the beautiful watermelon red of the fat Dahlia blossoms near the center of the photo. Salmon Tulips is the fiery salmon coral color of the yellow tipped tulips in a bunch near the back. Purple Limonium is the softest pale purple found in the tips of the wispy Baby’s Breath-like flowered branches used as a delicate filler in this amazing bouquet. And Purple Millet is the dark almost eggplant purple of the Purple Majestic Millet seed heads poking out like fuzzy spikes in the arrangement.

Customer Reviews: Polymer Clay Barrettes (6 Videos):
- Hi Cindy, Loved this set of French Barrette videos. Such a lot of priceless information and different techniques. Have always wanted to do silk screening, so a BIG thanks Cindy, you made it look so easy. Love rivets, eyelets and other metal fasteners. Now have to decide what to make first. Also a neat way to use those canes that you haven’t made into beads… love it… cheers xx. ~Eliane-F
- YAY, no more upset customers and embarrassed me ;) and So Many other techniques you are teaching us this month. Really looking forward to moving my product line up a few notches – Thanx. ~Sherry-L
- Wow – this video set is FULL OF INFO!! You are right – you made the mistakes so we don’t have to. Many thanks for that. What interesting ways of using your methods! Can’t wait to try them. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all of your videos. I have used so many in my projects – and will continue to watch FOREVER. Thanks to your whole team. I am addicted (but in a good way LOL). ~Patt-W
- Cindy you are beyond amazing! How many books would I have to read to gain all the knowledge you have presented here? And then would I actually understand what I read??? It will be a while before I can get back to actually doing these techniques but it always gives me a lift to see what is new and read all the comments. Again, where would we get all this knowledge if not from our clay family. You are all so wonderful and generous. Love you all. ~Joyce-F
- Yay – hair barrettes are my next step in my repertoire for the shop! ~Sandra-J
- This is a very exciting project for me. I have never worked with barrettes. I love the steampunk look as well as all the others. The scarf barrette is gorgeous Cindy, and the endless ways to do these is exciting. ~DixieAnn-S
- Wow that is so cool! I have made a couple of barrettes using the glue method, but as you rightly pointed out, one of them has already come apart. Am looking fwd to getting “stuck” into this one. I am going to be in France in a couple of weeks so I may even find some of the French Barrette in France in France. ~Sandra-J
- Some really useful info there, Cindy! I don’t do “hair stuff” other than using a plain ponytail holder for sport to ensure I can actually see (!), but the assembly techniques could be applied to all sorts of other things where glue might not hold permanently enough. And for minimalists like me who wouldn’t want rivet ends or eyelets to be visible, I guess you could use the approaches demonstrated to attach a plain backing piece, and then put your decorative layer on top of that, covering everything you didn’t want to show. (I’m pretty sure the usual approach of applying a thin layer of liquid polymer clay to the cured-and-attached backing piece before applying the uncured decorative layer would give a strong enough bond once the combination was rebaked.) ~Sue-F
- Wow, another innovative problem solving technique, Cindy! Love all the designs! For someone with thick heavy hair, I cannot count the number of over the counter stuff that cracked to bits when I squeezed to stay put for a few minutes. That’s regular store bought plastic, not precious purchased or gifted polymer clay art objects. The combination of well baked well finished Premo, combined with the rivet/eyelet solution, is going to keep my hard work trying this worth the effort. Thanks for an ingenious solution, kemosabe. ~Jocelyn-C
- What fun I am going to have. I have done a few barrettes before, but the glue did not hold and I gave up on that idea pretty quickly. My Granddaughter will be happy that she now gets more barrettes that will last longer. ~Karonkay-C
- Hi Cindy, thank you for helping get my credit card updated. I love your tutorials and don’t want to miss or lose any of them. ~Denise-O
- Lots of good ideas here. I’ve made a few barrettes with glue and pushing the top pc into the holes. ~Freda-K
- Love this! I really enjoyed the silk screening. Often wondered about trying that technique. Rivets are the way to go. I have made barrettes before and have been able to have good luck keeping them together. Pin backs are a challenge for me. I do cover the pin back with a thin layer of clay and blend it smooth where you barely see it. It is time consuming though and requires double baking. ~Catalina-L
- Another grand slam Cindy! A while ago, I had given up on making Barrette’s because no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t find a way to keep them together! So thank you for doing this tutorial series. ~Susan-R
- Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! :D ~Michelle-C
- I’m so happy that Cindy Lietz taught us how to secure barrettes without glue or clay:) I can now sell them without worry! ~Tantesherry
- Cindy, your videos are well done and informative and probably the best I have see. I like that you explain everything from start to finish and your knowledge is vast. I will definitely be sending people your way. ~Leanne-K
- Cindy – I am finding your videos very informative, and wish I could just stay home from work to play with clay all day. Thank you for keeping your prices very reasonable. ~Candice-D
- Cindy’s new way of connecting using the rivets instead of the clay on the back of the barrettes… what a nicer finish to my and everyone else’s beautiful work. ~Natalie-H
- I love that Cindy really listens to her members and covers every important detail of each step so we finish up with an item of quality. I look at some of the stuff I had made B.C. (before Cindy) and know that without finding this great site there my venture into PC would have been over. I am now proud of my AC (after Cindy) items and although I have practically every PC book that has been published, Cindy has that way that makes it easy to follow instructions, and Doug’s camera work is excellent. Have started claying again for craft fair in July and also have been asked to put a show case in a local charity shop with a percentage going to the charity. Well off now to see if I have all the colors to mix up my first Faux Burl Wood veneer. Keep well…..cheers xx. ~Elaine-F
- I agree with everything Elaine says about Cindy and Doug. They certainly are a very talented pair. They not only create these amazing videos with wonderful close-work that makes it so easy to see, they have also created an atmosphere which is so friendly and helpful; each time I get an e-mail from Cindy I feel very honoured, she takes so much trouble to make everyone feel welcome. ~Marion-R
- Loved covering the hair barrettes. This was so much fun and I got a little crazy decorating them. ~DixieAnn-S
- Thanks for more wonderful tips and great filming Cindy and Doug. You are both very much appreciated. ~Peggy-B
- Thank u Cindy for all the things I am learning from you. Absolutely wonderful. ~Sharon-S
- This project is amazing Cindy, I love the way you guys separated the videos – very logical – so many tips in just this one tutorial – for 3 bucks !! What a deal!! ~Tantesherry
- I agree … the price of these tutorials is ridiculous – Cindy and Doug don’t read this! : ) ~Maria-C
- This is the first set of tutorials I’ve had a chance to watch since probably March when my husband and I bought our first home. We got married in June so it’s been a REALLY busy year. I have to say… it’s good to be back with Cindy Lietz and all the other clayers!!! Wowza, this tute is AMAZING! It’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for and I can’t wait to start experimenting. Cindy – great job, you outdo yourself with every tute! ~Karen-R

- A Poem From ~Elaine-F
We loved the Sunday Market,
With CINDY by our side,
A host of fabulous colors,
Our eyes were opened wide.
Can’t wait to blend these colors,
With CINDY as our guide,
We wonder what’s in store for us,
When April shows her pride.
Gotta be something hot hot hot,
Perhaps another Gem,
Or something completely different,
A covering for a Pen?
What ever she comes up with,
Will surprise us and delight,
It could be something Egg-Like,
With Easter near in sight.
So tune right in,
And join this sight,
You’ll be so glad you did,
With Doug and co, It’s not much dough,
To spend on every Vid …….. sorry, video didn’t quite fit in!
