Basically, the website tells us, ‘blog’ is an abbreviation of ‘weblog’ which is a journal or diary on the internet. I didn’t know what it stood for either, so I’ve learnt something, thanks Elaine!

I also love your term ‘CF’, I think we should adopt this! Sadly there won’t be a ‘CF’ on Friday (29th of July) as there are 5 Fridays this month. How are we supposed to last a full two weeks without our ‘CF’ ? I always get withdrawal symptoms…!

Pasta machine (brilliant) Flexi shaft (wow my beads now shine like they should). Wallnut Hollow clay extruder, this is soooo good, (I destroyed my Makins but keep it as a spare and have adapted it to work) Had crossed threaded it but turned the barrel the other way round so it still works (kinda)
Clay shapers (had these as used to do ceramic beads). Cookie cutters, again have stolen them from my sugar-craft days. Stamping tools, have a great set of BossButtons from New Zealand, used to do leather work and these are great for Polymer clay, leather, pottery etc. But strange to say my fav tools are found in nature.
Shells, leaves, stones, sea urchins, seed pods, nuts, fan coral, fossils, bone, wood and pearls, semi-precious stones and chrystals, oh! and I nearly forgot, feathers!!!!!
But I think my greatest “tool” is my subscription to this unique site. The videos are the greatest (even I can understand “how to”,) and if I get it wrong I can go to my library and pull out the one I am having trouble doing and start again “even at 3am when I cannot sleep)

The BLOG (can somebody tell me what these letter stand for?)I “waste” hours reading all the tips and tricks from members old and new.Going back to when Cindy started.

The UK members are really helpful in knowing where to buy and it is great to read comments from members from all over the world. I’m sure Cindy wouldn’t be surprised to get a membership request from an Alien from outer space. (That would be cool!!)
Man from Mars or woman from Venus?? Not sure if they could get the supplies though??
Not claying tonight as hit my finger hammering a copper bookmark and have now got a huge blood- blister,(It hurts) but have four great new bookmarks. Loved this tute Cindy. Would be great to have more male orinentated (is that spelt correct?)items, just glad you embrace copper wire (very macho)
My leather-work always is snapped up by ladies for their “men” and now I can add chunky polymer clay (beads) to enhance the leather-wear.

Here in Leigh-on-Sea in Essex we are an “Arty community,” many festivals including the “Art Trail” where artists display their work in the various local shops and you can wander and pop in to see without being hasseled to buy.

The old town has some amazing shops and on the beach is where the cockle sheds are. The cockles are collected, cooked and sold from the sheds as well as being loaded and sold in London and other places. Just thought you would like to know a few facts about my home town!!! Well back to Cindy, just want to say, what a brilliant idea to set up this site.I’ve still got a lot to learn, including using my lap-top, camera etc. but know I will get there one day!!So in the meantime will get back to “sorting my stuff and getting organised. Looking forward to CF (Cindy Fridays) xx

I didn’t see anything on all of the posts here about polymerclayexpress.com .. so I thought I would leave a link. So far I don’t think there is anything I needed clay related that they don’t carry. And if you call “Rob” he will get it if he can. Awesome people to do business with. Shipping and handling is very reasonable as well.

Hi
I am thinking of buying the Makin Professional Ultimate Extruder and it comes with the CLay Tool Kit .Do you get much use out of the Clay tool kit..I know you said there are no directions..but does Makin supply any support for its use.
