Member Benefits 030-3: Color Mixing

Polymer Clay Membership Site

I am a painter and didn’t think that I would need the recipe cards because I am so used to mixing paint colors together… well… I LOVE THE RECIPE CARDS!!!  You have shown me that there are sooooooo many different colors that I can make from my clay!  So many different greens, blues, reds, purples, yellows, and even metallic colors and different natural “white” colors.  Thank you so much! ~Cindy-E >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Tutor Library

I never thought of myself as a color person. But thanks to Cindy I’ve been playing more and more with clay mixing. It’s so fun to just take lots of bright colors like pinks and neon greens and blues and end up with a beautiful earth tone color. Very cool. ~Rada-F >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Quiz

I love how you take inspiration for color palettes from your environment! It’s so much more fun than just looking at color swatches. ~Karen-B >> This comment was originally posted here: Premo Clay Color Recipes

WOW, this technique of yours is awesome…. Thank you so much for sharing with us… I love your color blends and look forward to them every week, but this was the icing on the cake… I can’t wait to try it, especially since it’s much faster. ~Michele-N >> This comment was originally posted here: Lietz Teardrop Color Blend Method

I stumbled across your web site by doing a google search on how to mix polymer clay colors. Your site is so informative and user friendly. Thankx!!! ~Pamela-C >> This comment was originally posted here: Making Clay Jewelry and Beads

I like using the FIMO soft clay as well as the PREMO although there are more colors available in the PREMO than the FIMO at least at JoAnn’s or Michael’s. But your color palette cards come in handy when you just can’t find the right color and so you make your own. ~Lupe-M >> This comment was originally posted here: Premo Polymer Clay

I do love the idea of using nature as a palette and creating Skinner blends. My mom always told me that to match colors, “…ask the pansies. If God put it on a flower you can wear it too”. The photo reminds me of her, and makes me want to work on more blends based on nature. ~TK >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Cane Designs

Thank you for the recipes. These will come in handy in the future when I want to mix those exact colors for another project perhaps. ~Darlene-S >> This comment was originally posted here: Colors Polymer Clay

I enjoy all your colors you have come up with. Thank goodness you do not mind sharing your color mixtures. Thank-you Cindy. ~Lynn-W >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Palette

What a glorious tree! I love seeing the point of inspiration for artists and this tree is certainly colorful enough to inspire! I’m off to sign up for the March newsletter. Thanks for the offer! ~Shannon-L >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Recipes

Hi Cindy, Great info on how to obtain the various green (and for that matter any color) shades. Should encourage experimentation. ~MJ >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Tips For Mixing Shades of Green

I love the colors you made from the cactus flower.  The cactus had it’s first flower of the season yesterday. Thank you for all the helpful information. I love your site! ~Jeanne-C >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Colors

I so enjoy your posts and adore the photographs that Doug takes for your inspiration. Just love those flowers in your garden. Where do you get the time to do all that you do? You are a Wonder Woman indeed. ~Illaya-B >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Recipes

Hi Cindy, The texturizing with rubber stamps video was exactly what I was looking for. Great explanations and I loved the results. The columbine colours are gorgeous, too. My favourite lesson so far. Thanks so much. I can’t wait to try the technique :-) ~Sue-W >> This comment was originally posted here: Texture Polymer Clay Tutorial

Hi Cindy, Sorry I’m being so impatient! I look forward to Fridays for your videos and recipes. Will you be doing the raku video soon? I’d love to try that. I don’t have too many colors mixed up as yet, but am going to do as many of the recipes as possible and make myself the color samples to attach to the cards. That will make it so much easier to choose my colors. Warm regards. ~Cheryl-H >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Beads

Cindy, I thought your course was very informative. I never worked with clay before, but read several books. I like to be shown how to do things rather than just reading about them. Most of the things that are in your course I was familiar with.  I just needed to hear some of the problems that you had making things so that I could correct my way of doing things. I find myself looking forward to your new video every week, along with the color recipes. ~CJ >> This comment was originally posted here: Faux Leather Rose Beads

Hi Cindy, I can’t believe how much I’ve learned in such a short period of time. Your site is the greatest. :) And Carrie… thank you for sharing your recipes. The colors are so beautiful. :) ~Ariti >> This comment was originally posted here: Sculpey III Polymer Clay Color Recipes

YES!!!I love your recipes! More, more, more! ~Jaime-H >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Recipes

Cindy – you are such an inspiration to all of us with this site and with what you do. Doing this (posting for others) out of the kindness of your heart – well – it’s nothing short of amazing. ~Aims >> This comment was originally posted here: Sculpey III Clay Colors

This palette of lily colors is spot on. The next door circle has a dedicated gardener who has planted lilies of every size shape and color imaginable. Just checked the colors this morning… oh, Cindy, the pinks and oranges are perfect, but, wow the black violet is just spot on with hers. It matches the stamens, but also a new variety of lilies she just planted this year. Perfect petal match, just gorgeous. Thank you for the share. ~Jocelyn-C >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Recipes
