Vol-064-1: Video #428: Introduction: In this 6 part video tutorial series, you will learn techniques and tricks for creating darling little owl beads, with feather cane wings… as well as a time-worn faux leather book bead… a stamped metal charm… and a charm hanger and clasp to put the whole thing together. The ideas and techniques can not only be used for this particular necklace design, but for many other polymer clay and jewelry projects as well.
Vol-064-2: Video #429: Owl Wing Cane: In this video, you will learn how to create a polymer clay cane that mimics the striped feathers of a Gray Owl’s wings. You will then take slices from the cane to instantly add detailed wings to each of your Owl bead creations, without having to start from scratch for each new bead. I think you will love how simple this cane is to make!
Vol-064-3: Video #430: Sculpting The Owl Bead: In this video you’ll learn how to use some simple clay sculpting tools to create the most darling little owl beads! Depending how you make his shape and features, and how you apply the wings, your little friend can take on a variety of different personality styles!
Vol-064-4: Video #431: Bound Leather Book Bead: In this tutorial I will show you how to make a rustic, time-worn, faux leather Book Bead that looks so tiny and real. You’ll swear it came directly off the library shelf of the wise old owl himself… since everyone knows that owls love to read.
Vol-064-5: Video #432: Hand Stamped Metal Charm: In this video, you will learn some neat little tricks for using metal letter stamps on small metal blanks, to make wordy charms for your Wise Owl Charm Necklace… or for any charm jewelry project you like. You’ll also learn how to antique your beads and charms to make the texture really stand out. And you will find out which are my favorite products that I use for Antiquing Mediums.
Vol-064-6: Video #433: Charm Holder And Clasp: Lastly, in this final video of the series, you’ll learn how to make your own custom hammered Charm Holder and clasp for your necklace, so that you can interchange your Owl Bead, Book Bead, and Charm, with any other charms of your choice. This is a simple, practical and beautiful design you can use for many different jewelry projects.

1-A: Nightshade Berries 2-A: Poison 3-A: Deadly 4-A: Nightshade . . . . |
Nightshade Berries is the rich vivid red of the lethal ripe fruit of the Nightshade plant. Poison is the acid orange color of the berry as it begins to ripen on the deadly vine. Deadly is the mysterious ghostly purple of the tiny hairs that stand up on the necks of the toxic tendrils. And Nightshade is the dark purple black of the Halloween-witch-like hats that the poisonous berries cling to.

Customer Reviews: Owl Charm Necklace (6 Videos):
- Cindy, I love the owl videos I am so glad I joined up with you. My grand daughter loves owls and I cant wait to make her one. Thanks again. ~Sherry-C
- Owls are special creatures and evoke feelings of awe within us when we see them – so it isn’t any wonder that sometimes we feel the need to add these darling birds to our accessorizing. ~Michele-L
- Love your owl videos!!! You are one awesome clay artist!!! ~Ruthie-B
- How CUTE the little owl is!!! I see book markers in the near future. Cindy – so glad you included how to make this charming (pun intended LOL) holder too. Your tutes are so complete – from start to finish. A finished, professional looking end result. Thank you so much for all your whole family gives to all of us. ~Patt-W
- Last year when we visited my mom my project for everyone was a charm necklace for Halloween. We had little witches, ghosts and pumpkins that I had made of polymer clay. I think this little owl will be a nice addition to that. Whenever we visit my mom each of us brings a project to teach and put together. Some are simple and some more difficult. I think I will make these little owls and surprise them with a little gift for Halloween that they can add to their necklaces. Thanks so much for all your efforts and hard work to bring these tutorials to us. ~Karonkay-C
- Loved this tut! I can just see a wise old owl sitting on a book on one of the jar lids already. ~Cheryl-B
- LOVE THIS!! LOVE THIS!! I saw the owl in your video last week and thought I sure hope she makes a tute for that cute thing! YAY! ~Christine-H
- So cute. Another one to add to my collection. ~Sandra-J
- I love owls! I collect the carved ones and have embroidered large portraits of them. Thank you Cindy for a wonderful tute on this amazing bird. My Mother had a poem hanging in our kitchen when we were kids and every time we got too noisy she would point to the Owl poem and say “read that”. The poem went like this: “A wise old bird sat in an oak, the more he saw the less he spoke, the less he spoke the more he heard, why can’t we be like that wise old bird?” We always got the message :) ~DixieAnn-S
- Oh Dixie I think I will make a wall hanging for my daughter so she can have her kids read that poem when they get a little loud. She always refers to the inside voice kids. If you want to get loud go outside and then you can use your outside voice. I much prefer your little poem. Like you, I love owls. We have one living behind the house and you can hear him/her in the evenings. Cindy I really enjoyed this video, all of them. It is just perfect and I can’t wait to make some wise old owls. And my grand kids love the book beads. They make great gifts for teachers. Love it! Thank you and Doug once again for a great set of tutorials. ~Peggy-B
- I love owls too Dixie Ann – I use to collect them when I was in jr and high school but after we lost our home to fire, I never had the heart to start again — But I still love them! Cindy your owl is awesome the way you did his eyes caught mine right away, and the cane is too cool It was hard waiting for this months tutorial – seemed like August would never end ;) ~Tantesherry
- I love that little poem, Dixie Ann… can’t wait to start making little owls. There’s always room at my house for one more. ~Monique-U
- After reading Cindy’s write up about owls, got more curious about the one that visits the top of the tallest weeping spruce tree near my window. Turns out, I think it’s a barn owl, and it just looks white and grey reflecting in our street lights. Cutest thing, just about a foot tall. ~Jocelyn-C
- Just watched the amazing owl series. Loved it and liked the updated method of making the book bead (which is one of my favourite charms for copper book marks). It is so nice to think that Cindy always finds better ways to do things and then even better ways to update them… so a BIG thank you Cindy. ~Elaine-F
- Cindy, I love it when you make little critters, miniatures, animals, etc… Whether you’re creating them into beads or making them into something else, it is SO MUCH FUN to see you making these little guys!!! I hope you do more!! I made some little clay hockey players to set on the table when our team does their annual meet and greet next month. ? How cool to make some little Canadian hockey player beads!!! Too, too, cute! (And you KNOW they would love em in your neck of the woods) ;0) ~Sherry-L
- My daughter loves owls. I am so excited to learn how to make them. ~Terri-B
- Cindy, I have been buying a few back issues here and there to get various techniques. But – of course – there is always something else that I would love to learn that is part of a different back issue. I’m sure others have said – I don’t need 3 out of 4 of those topics in that issue, but oh that 4th. And then interest changes, and the other topics become relevant. By the way, it will probably sound kinky, but the best thing about your videos is watching your hands. I can read descriptions of how to do things, but it makes SO much more sense when I see you do it. Of course your verbal description really helps too, but I love being able to see you work. Thanks so much. ~Beth-W
- Great tutorial. I learned so much. Thank you. ~Melodie-F
- I saw the owls on your last video, and was hoping to see how they are made! Your paid video series are worth every penny! ~Janice-G
- I just got home from a long, fantastic weekend of ministry and sat down to watch this owl series. I just finished watching the first one and had to stop and tell you how fantastic this is. I kept saying this is sooo cool, and I’m only on the wing, lol! Anyhoo, back to the videos. Thank you. ~Michelle-A
- I just love Cindy’s tutorials. I think anyone/everyone who has an interest in polymer clay should become a member of Polymer Clay Tutor. Cindy’s sunny personality and knowledge is wonderful and amazing. I eagerly look forward to her tutorials each month. When the last series came out, I was not too interested in making that particular project, but I know that each series is always chalked full of great tips and techniques that are valuable and interesting, methods you can apply to any project. Always something for everyone. Love them! ~Melodie-F
- While I have been using Cindy’s Owl tute for jewelry, I also placed a little owl in a tree on a memorial votive candle made for a friend who lost a son way too early. His birthday is coming up soon and his mother wanted a votive candle to light in his memory. Owls had a special meaning for her son, so this was appropriate. ~Michelle-L
- Great tutorial. I loved the Owl in person… so cute…. and now can’t wait to try this myself. Thanks again I always learn so much from you. ~Cindy-P
- Thanks again Cindy for another great tutorial, love the owl and book charms and can see so many possibilities with them for my beaded bookmarks. ~Kay-B
- I absolutely loved this tutorial. First thing I’ve made since last November when I fell ill. I couldn’t work my clay. This little owl has inspired me to get creative again. I would love to see more sculpture techniques in the future. Awesome work! ~Brenda-M
- Took a class on stamping at my local bead store and learned more here on the “owl necklace” then I did there, especially helpful was to tape the entire piece onto the block and write the letters where you want them. Had a great time watching each segment, can’t wait to see more. Glad that I joined and will talk friends into viewing and joining also. ~Marilyn-P
- Hi Cindy and Doug! I Just want to start off by saying Thank You for all the time and effort you spend in the making of all these Wonderful video tutorials. Really Thank You! I enjoy them so much and have made such a difference in the quality of the things I have made… I had so much fun with the owls, they were actually the first project I made from your tutes. ~Liz-A
- I loved this tut! I’ve got so many projects lined up that I can’t decide which one’s to do first! lol! You have really gotten me going and I’ve got clay everywhere, and for the first time in months, my pasta machine really needs cleaning! That is so exciting guy’s! Take care, you and yours! ~Joy-D
- I did a Craft Fayre in our local Church Hall and made your cute little Owls as tree decorations (sold all twelve). As my theme was Birds I designed a fabric Owl perched on a Cinnamon Quill like he was sitting on a swing, then a few Penguins as paper weights again from fabric standing on a piece of slate (iceberg) and was kept busy using my Pyrography machine to personalise wooden items. Spoons, keyrings bookmarks etc. ~Elaine-F
Customer Reviews: Nightshade A-Series Color Palette (4 Recipe Cards):
- These colours look lovely, Cindy! ~Sue-F
- We had this plant in Indiana when we lived on 5 acres outside of town along with Jack-in-the-Box and so many others. I loved walking through my little forest and bringing home things for my DH to name for me. There are many beautiful plants that are so deadly yet look so delicate and lovely. I love this color palette. The colors are so rich and vibrant, like these hot days of summer. Wonderful choice Cindy. ~DixieAnn-S
- I LOVE this palette! … these strong vibrant colours are just my thing …. thanks!!! ~Lesley-S
- Such strong vibrant colors! Love the way you describe the colors and the names you come up with Cindy. ~Cherie-H
- Love the colours! Isn’t it weird how some things that are beautiful can be deadly. ~Sandra-J
- The Italian ladies of court in the 17th century used to squeeze drops from the berries into their eyes, this used to dilate the pupils making the eyes seem larger and more beautiful, hence “Belladonna”. A very dangerous practice and as Cindy says, all parts of this plant are TOXIC so not sure if the practice made them blind! (So don’t try this at home). These are a set of dangerous colors to make something really wicked and spooky with, so thanks Cindy, you must have been in a dark mood when thinking up this combination. Nearly full moon so had better dust off my broomstick. ~Elaine-F
- OOHHHHHHHH – almost spooky time! Belladonna – such a beautiful name for such a deadly plant. Thank you Elaine for the “eye opening” story! Love these colors – deeply saturated! What smashing MG these would make. ~Patt-W
- This is a beautiful palette Cindy, and the witch’s hat was quite a surprise. ~Sherry-L
- Such a beautiful colorway. So glad you “saw” it and shared it with us, Cindy. Will try your plus one color technique with these colors too. Bet you’d get some fabulous combinations, and for some reason, I want to start with those colors plus silver and translucent. ~Jocylen-C
