Hello Cindy, I am enjoying my in home tutor classes very much! While I started out with Sculpey III, I am still using it to learn with while waiting to grab some of the firmer clays. I had all but given up, thinking I was doing something wrong or just wasn’t a ‘clayer’. Thanks to you, I have rediscovered my love for clay.

I’ve done many crafts over the years but making my own beads to add to my beaded works is just fantastic!

Your instructions, tips and ‘you can do this’ attitude are wonderful. The videos are easy to understand and are not long and drawn out. You explain the process as it is listed in the title and then move right along. I also like that I can view them at any time from the comfort of my home, in any order. The price for your course is fantastic, as well. I can’t go get books that describe all the things in your tutorials for that price – no way!

Thank you for an excellent product, wonderful instruction and fantastic tips! If there was only a way to add a ribbon now … lol!

Sincerely,
Roberta

Yeah I know what you mean Laurel. Polymer clay beads used to be only the polymer clay cane slices of moons and things, strung on hemp cord. I’m glad clay has come a long way too!

(Not dissing moons or hemp or even cane slice beads. Just glad there are more options.) :-)

Cindy thanks for sharing. I really need to tell you though, that these kind of beads are why I wasn’t interested in polymer clay for a long time. I am glad you have progressed because when I found your site and looked at the beautiful stuff you were doing I decided polymer was no longer just for “hippies”.

Cindy, I bet that olive stabber became prettier and prettier with each martini.

Cindy, My husband gave me the ultimate compliment when he noticed that the pendants I made for this year’s church bazaar were “light years” better than last year’s. I must say that one reason for this is the online education you provide us. Thank you!

I too have some vintage pieces which remind me of how far I have gone! Thanks for sharing this bit of nostalgia. Pearl
