1-A: Chevy Bel Air 2-A: Pink Flamingo 3-A: Orange Sherbet 4-A: Red Leather Panel . . . . |
Chevy Bel Air is the hot tomato red of this fantastic vintage car interior. Pink Flamingo is the color of the iconic flamingos so common in 50′s fabrics and decor, as well as a color pulled from the dash of this stylish car. Orange Sherbet is the color of the steering wheel where the sun washes out the red… and for the popular treat you might buy at the counter of a soda shop back in the day. And Red Leather Panel is the dark brown red of the door panels in the shade, where the red looks deeper and heavier than in the rest of the vehicle.

Customer Reviews: Polymer Clay Batik Technique (6 Videos):
- Wow I am so excited. I have been trying to figure this technique. Thank you so much for making this available. ~Claycass
- Can’t wait for this tutorial! I love batik and have done some place mats and some material for a friend when we were in high school – long time ago. I used fabric dyes of course and wax. She used the material to sew herself a top. Love making tasseled pendants too and with this technique there will be so many more ideas. ~Cherie-H
- Me, too, Cherie! I had two pieces of quilted Batik wall hangings that won awards. One went to the Governor’s Show in Ohio and one went to Japan – unfortunately I wasn’t able to attend that show. But, my work has traveled a lot! So, glad Cindy got this (polymer clay batik technique) figured out for us!! Cindy… your pendant is amazing. The crackle is really unique. This will take polymer clay sky high! ~Catalina-L
- Well, you know I love anything that looks like fabric, Cindy, so this will be a great treat :) ~Monique-U
- Hi Cindy, I have so enjoyed watching the last 3 Vols. with my new subscription. And I can’t wait for tomorrow- I am already addicted. I stayed up late going through all the YT videos to see what was there also. Thanks again for your personal attention to each and every member- it certainly comes through when I read the member comments and Q&A. ~Laurie-M
- This totally blew my socks off! What an exciting series of tutes. Being an avid quilter I use batik fabrics extensively and have a huge cabinet full of them. To be able to transfer this technique to polymer clay is just the most exciting thing. I had no idea this was even doable but leave it to Cindy to come up with a way. This is that “more bang for your buck” I’m always telling my friends about. If any of you out there are still only thinking about signing up, DO IT! believe me you will not regret it. Thanks guys for another fantastic video series. ~DixieAnn-S
- I’ve just watched this series and I am so excited to try this. I’ve already got ideas flying around in my head and one in particular I am going to try tomorrow. It will be Saturday here (in Australia) so will have ALL day to play, roll on morning. Thanks again, Cindy. I almost bought a tutorial about batiking from somewhere else… sooooo glad i didn’t. ~Sandra-J
- Wow! I adore this technique… leave it to you to come up with an original method, using white glue and egg whites. Thank you Cindy! This technique is the bomb!!!!! ~Jocelyn-C
- Love, love Batik!! Like Dixie Ann, I have batik fabric in my fabric drawer. Maybe I can copy some of the designs. Low tech wonder!!! Had to laugh – old ways are sometimes the best yet!!!! This will be one of my all time favs. Thanks so much for spending the time to figure this out. Did I say I loved Batik?????????? Oh boy -oh boy- oh boy………..grin. ~Patt-W
- Yes, my Mom and Dad trained at the School of Arts and they talked about egg white for a crackling effect too. My mom used to also make some special composition (not egg) and make textured frames for their paintings. ~Cherie-H
- I love being able to design anything I want with the glue and using ink colors that I like. This is a very nice technique – reminded me of the raku look (if that’s the right name). Thank you Cindy, I enjoyed watching this video. ~Vivian-M
- What an original technique! Egg white…. who would have thought? The results look absolutely beautiful!!!! ~Lesley-S
- You guys are going to freak out when you see how easy Cindy has made the new original way of making this faux Batik — One of my fave things to do is make beads and as you can see from her free intro video this technique can be used to make beads Cindy’s monthly rate works out to about $3.33 — An amazing deal! Everything she and her hubby Doug produce is very well planed out and the close-ups are a huge, huge help. If you can find $10 every THIRD month you will be trilled with all the knowledge she gives you! What ever you have a question about, type it into the search box at the top right of the blog, and be prepared to learn and don’t forget to read all the comments. A Lot of X-tra goodies and info there too. ~Sherry-L
- I have to agree with Sherry-L, Cindy Lietz is a most wonderful teacher, together with her husband Doug they create fantastic videos. I own each and every one they ever made. I can highly recommend getting a subscription to their videos! ~Christl-P
- Hi Cindy and all. Congrats Cindy on this fine tut. What a great technique, I love batiks and have done it with the wax and silk paints on material. I will be trying this soon as I also make Sculptured fabric dolls. This would be great to make some embellishments with. Cindy, you are so right to say to protect your tutorials as some people only need a few words to put things together, so keep it under wraps gals, and have everyone ooh and aaah at your expertise. Bye for now. Love to all. Back to Claying. ~Elizabeth-K
- Love Batik, tie-dye etc. Us ‘recycled hippys’ never grow up. We just fade in the sunshine. (unlike Ren wax) Our fantastic Cindy spends hours figuring out, testing and trying out different experiments until she gets it right. It is what makes this site so unique, it is not “half-baked” unlike many other people who put freebies on U-Tube but give you wrong information or only part of a technique. With Doug’s camera work you can follow every step. (Thanks Doug) Now Cindy has generously given away her special secrets such as “teardrop method” etc I think that was a very brave thing to do. I am sure a whole lot more peeps will want to become members. So if you are reading this, come and join the most informative, detailed tutorials you will ever see. Yours to play over as long as you subscribe to the PC Tutor. It is the best. ~Elaine-F
- Love this technique Cindy… Thanks for your great videos! ~Shauna-B
- I had a go yesterday, and I have to say, I really, really enjoyed it! It is true that I successed only with the second batch, but I have to say it is an awesome technique, and so much fun! ~Helena-B
- Cindy – this is one of the best, MAYBE the best, tutes you have ever made. Love it! ~Patt-W
- Hi Cindy, Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I have learned so much since I joined PCT. ~Kay-B
- In the past I’ve tried batik using artists’ latex masking fluid but it only worked on baked clay. When l saw Cindy had worked out this beautiful, realistic method l decided the day had come to subscribe! I love the videos, Cindy and Doug – they are so clear and detailed. ~Carrie-H
- I work as a machine quilter in a small town in Oklahoma, and my very favorite section of our wonderful quilt shop is the extensive batik collection. I was so excited to see this video series and tried it out immediately on some ink pen barrels. They turned out great! One set I just used white glue, but the other set I tinted the glue with green alcohol ink to deliberately stain the white clay, since many of the batik fabrics I love have tinted designs – not white. It worked well, although to get a good stain, I will either use a darker ink or simply more for further color saturation. It also does make the design easier to see as you paint it on. ~Robin-S
- l now have several amazing, wonderful sheets of batik-ed clay making me go “oooh” and “aaah” … it all worked an absolute treat! I am a bit scared to cut into them, to tell the truth! I mostly used stencils as l am not too good at freehand and they worked extremely well. I also dabbed with the blending pad tool and that was a success as well so l am a happy bunny this evening! Now l just need someone to remind me to wear gloves next time….. So glad l joined! ~Carrie-H
- I love your videos of the stunning polymer clay projects you make. I hope one day I am able to create them as well as you do. Thank you very much for creating these videos. ~Nicky-G
- What a wonderful video this is, I love Batik and wanted to learn how to do it with polymer and now I can do it. Thank you so much for such easy to follow and clear tutorials, so glad I found you. ~Beverly-R
Customer Reviews: Chevy Bel Air A-Series Color Palette (4 Recipe Cards):
- Oh Cindy what a great flower recipe These colors would make. So rich and vibrant. Can’t you just picture roses, and tulips and fushias and oh my, so many wonderful flowers! It is so drab and dreary looking outside and now it’s snowing. You couldn’t have come up with a better color combination at this time! ~DixieAnn-S
- Looking forward to using these pretty reds — I seem to have some kind of block mixing reds — they never look quite right. ~Tantesherry
- Love the vibrant colors. ~Pollyanna
