OK Ken, you are officially nominated to write a petition to those scientists that control time. Dawn and I will be the first to sign it LOL.

@Lynda – would love to see pics of your sculpture when it is done. Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for the address for Precision Blue. I had tried to find the spray and couldn’t. Just ordered some.

Recently, I’ve been trying to finish up another project, a sculpture, and have not had my hands in my beads, but am still reading and saving videos. Be back soon. Keep up the good work. Always enjoy reading you, Cindy. You are so filled with ideas. You amaze me!! Hugs, Lynda

Between work, my shows it seems like the day is over before it has begun, we’ve got to have a talk with those scientists folk and get them to add a few more hours to the day, wait a minute there are six hours a day that I’m not doing anything. I’m horizontal with my eyes closed sleeping, good grief what a slacker I am.

Cindy don’t worry about not getting the autumn and Halloween vids finished for this year, you’re just that much farther ahead for next year.

Anna the spray is called Preserve Your Memories II (PYMII) and it is actually an American product, so it is definitely available to you through Precision Blue. The confusion probably comes from the fact that it used to not be available in Canada. It is now, through shadesofclay.com

I love this spray! It works so well for clay, metals and just about everything else including paper. You can spray it right over a finished piece of jewelry to seal it and get a beautiful sheen. Don’t use any other sprays since most are not compatible with polymer clay and will get sticky over time.

Good luck with teaching your classes. Have a great time!

Especially when you have young kids. My life got much busier as my kids got older, until they started driving themselves around.Cindy, I am so glad you went on that vacation and spent time together as a family. Your PC “family” got to enjoy some of the beautiful pictures and you came up with a new color palette.
No worries about missing the Pirates tutorial as they are an all year theme. Skull and cross bones canes with a little Santa hats, skull and cross bone leprechaun canes, skull and cross bones with little easter bunny ears…the possibilities are endless.
We seemed to have missed Fall here in Iowa. We had great summer weather even through the beginning of October until we got the snow, rain, mud and ick for the past 2 weeks. So I was not really thinking about fall either.
On Thursday I taught the first of four polymer clay community education classes. This new adventure is exciting for me. One of the woman asked what spray on finishes we can use with PC and I really can’t remember which are are compatible and those that are not compatible with cured PC. I always use Future and we will being using that in class. I know Cindy recently found a scrap bookers spray but it is not available in the US. Any other suggestions out there. Thanks.
