WOW! This much easier than I thought – Love Cindy’s way KISS (keep it simple stoopid). No wonder we keep coming back for MORE. I would like to climb in Cindy’s mind LOL. I would never leave. Thanks to Cindy and Doug for these wonderful tutes. ~Patt-W >> This comment was originally posted here: Butterfly Wing Cane Video
Cindy, you’ve done it again. I am always amazed at how you even simplify what on first glance seems to be a simple process. First I would have tried to make too many layers for my cutters and then I would have tried to ram the centers into each other and wonder why my designs came out so squashed. This is why you make the mistakes so I don’t have to… so worth the modest fee of your site. Thanks for so many great tutorials. It’s the high point of my weekend! ~Sue-W >> This comment was originally posted here: Cookie Cutter Canes
Just watched your Blend & Switch Technique video! I think your are waking up the sleeping polymer clay beast inside me! Thanks! ~Kim-M >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Blend and Switch
Thanks for these videos. They have given me the confidence to try and do it for myself, and also to save some money. ~Lianne-L >> This comment was originally posted here: Making Your Own Jewelry Headpins
Hi Cindy: I love the UV Resin video – awesome. Can’t wait to purchase the supplies!! Love your website – I just highly recommended you to a friend yesterday who was talking about making clay beads. Hope she signs up – will be the best investment she’ll make in learning how to make polymer clay beads. Take care. ~Nancy-C >> This comment was originally posted here: UV Epoxy Resin Tutorial
I can’t believe how lovely this is. I’ve been watching your tutorials for more than a year now and this is quite possibly the most gorgeous technique you’ve shared. ~Vladadeska-V >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Mixed Media Art Sheets
I for see a shortage of old silver spoons! Here I thought all you needed to do was just bend the spoon and viola! Once again, a wealth of information from Cindy’s experience. ~Koolbraider >> This comment was originally posted here: Silver Spoon Jewelry Bails
Cindy: Great tut which has my mind buzzing with ideas! Plus you make it look so simple. I would just like to add a vote for the bracelet blanks which look exciting and although I have successfully made bangles using only polymer clay and think the possibility of actually building a design on a flat base which become part of the bracelet looks full of possibilities. ~Susan-B >> This comment was originally posted here: Affordable Hammered Metal Bezels
I purchased series 008 as my pasta machine was mixing colours by itself (hadn’t been taken apart in almost three years) and I couldn’t wait for our Guild demo in May. Now my pasta machine is spotless and fenderless. Thanks again Cindy. ~Lawrence-S >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Tutorials
Well I wasn’t that keen on the idea of this when you first mentioned it Cindy, not really an animal print kinda girl but having watched the video I am a coming round to the idea. ~Cara-H >> This comment was originally posted here: Leopard Cane Video
Love this idea and the video. Tons of old stamping blocks left over from an earlier craft phase, and so neat to see possibilities with inks and clay by combining them in the future! ~Joceyln-C >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Artisan Jewelry
I loved the tutorial on the quick aka teardrop skinner blends. I will use immediately! I may even find a way to apply Sarah Schriver’s techniques using this new Skinner Blend. I took her course and loved it, but the Skinner blending took soooo long. Perhaps I can find a way to use this method and shorten it. ~Kim-T >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Color Recipes
I love, love, love this technique. I may never try making pendants in the kiln again. Thank You Cindy. ~Kathy-B >> This comment was originally posted here: Faux Dichroic Glass
Fantastic tute!!! I love all kinds of rings and now I can custom make my own. I have chubby fingers… lol. Thanks again Cindy. ~Pollyanna >> This comment was originally posted here: Wire Wrapped Rings
Brilliant another good use of all my cutters! Thank you Cindy. ~Anne-O >> This comment was originally posted here: Cookie Cutter Canes
I tried this last night (was in desperate need of clay time after this week and packing last week). I learned: silver ink and alcohol ink do interesting things when you put them together. Try it sometime. My sheet (the first of many, I imagine) is hanging out waiting to become pendants, earrings, and beads. ~Katie-C >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Art Sheets
Love this distressed technique. I can see making some beautiful buttons with this, and I am getting ready to make some purse handles that would probably look awesome too. ~Loretta-C >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Tutorials
Cindy!! Excellent tute! I don’t use mouse pads anymore, but I did have an extra thick craft foam sheet that worked just as well. Something else I just thought of – for those of us who are “artistically challenged”, howzabout taping a computer-printed drawing onto the metal and using a stylus to trace in the design? I’m thinking it would only take one pass on the paper, then you could remove it and clean up the metal. Thanx for giving us a unique way to create our own stamps!! ~Cheryl-W >> This comment was originally posted here: Custom Made Embossed Metal Stamps
Thank you, Cindy, for this great tutorial. I love the fact that you can use “found” items to make this, so I am on the lookout for products that use them! ~Becky-C >> This comment was originally posted here: Embossed Metal Stamps Video
Just watched the tutorial, great work Cindy. One thing I will mention is that you can add more silicone to that already cured mold, like in the case of the round one that was too thin. Silicone is one of the few things the silicone will stick to. So if you get a thin spot you can fix it with more silicone. ~Terry-M >> This comment was originally posted here: Silicone Molding Techniques
Hey Cindy, just a follow-up to my original post here. I showed my polymer friend my fully resined blend and switch earrings and she thought it was so cool. I have brought in several items that I’ve since done using the art sheets and faux dichroic glass and she is quite impressed. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all you do!!!!! ~Laura-Z >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Library
Cindy a belated thank you for taking the time to get information on how to thin the Bake and Bond. I see I will be needing it with the polymerized cloth! Looks like a lot of fun! You have the most amazing ideas! ~Hanne-R >> This comment was originally posted here: Faux Druzy Tutorial
I was mesmerized with just the photos for this one and the preview has me counting the minutes until we get the whole thing. The finished pieces look so gossamer-like. ~Elizabeth-S >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymerized Cloth Mixed Media
Cindy, I am really inspired by the Polymerized Fabric technique. I have been working on combining my love of fiber with my love of jewelry and polymer clay. This is the perfect marriage. Your Fabric Rose is wonderful!! ~Heather-P >> This comment was originally posted here: Vintage Rose Choker
Dear Cindy, Every lesson from you is so beautiful that I’m happy with each and every one of them. I loved all the faux techniques you showed us and I hope you won’t stop this kind of lessons (faux gemstones or anything else). I would like to learn how to make more sculpted flowers. I loved your roses and your calla lily beads, tried them and they turned out great. Now I’m working on some sculpted orchids and I can’t stop myself from thinking :”Oh, if Cindy had a tutorial on that…” But I guess all good things require hard work, otherwise they wouldn’t be so rewarding :) ~Squash >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Lessons
Fran is so right in describing that video as “spectacular”. To see something like that in person must be the ultimate. Cindy, never not tell us a story. Those you have shared are wonderful. You give so much of yourself and for me this is a bit more and personal making me want to give you that extra hug. This is truly going to be “THE” technique. ~Joyce-M >> This comment was originally posted here: Aurora Technique Polymer Clay Video
