Has anyone tried the Adirondack Alcohol Ink “Metallic Mixatives?” They have them 40% off at JoAnn’s right now, in 2-color pkg’s: Gold/Silver, and Pearl/Copper. I bought both, but I wanted to see if anyone had any tips. I don’t want to try them out only to find that they do not work with clay the same way as the inks. If they’re not polymer clay friendly, I’d like to return them. So, any “Do’s or Don’ts with these?

OK Jill… you get the “made-my-day-award” for today… and it’s not even noon yet (I’m out here on the west coast :-). Thank you so much for taking the time to write those very kind words. Sharing feedback like this really gives others great insight about what they can expect from the video tutorials. I truly appreciate your support.

Very much looking forward to hearing more about how your beads and jewelry projects are coming along. If you are interested in showcasing a few of your pieces in an upcoming Spotlight Feature at my blog, then please do email me with a selection of your favorite pics, and we can then chat further about making this happen for you.

Hi Cindy. I’m new to polymer clay, but your style of teaching has made me almost an instant expert. You should have a show on HGTV. You are great!

Thanks to all of you that add your comments to Cindy’s instructions. I find that I am learning alot from all of you too. I was watching this Carol Duval segment on the web yesterday (HGTV) and it was about cinnabar and jade lookalikes. It is under the segment that features leather-like pillows in case this link doesn’t work. The lady teaching this is from Kato Polyclay. She explains the dangers of using real cinnabar:

It’s very beautiful jewelry, I have a book with instructions on how to recreate it in PC but haven’t gotten to try it yet.

I didn’t know that either. Here I was thinking it was a moth! ;)

@ Silverleaf

After my comment I did some research, apparently Cinnabar contains mercury. I was surprised when I read that bit of information.
