@Laurel: Too funny! You definitely gave me a chuckle!

@Polyanya: Sounds like you would be a good friend for Ellen DeGeneres! :-)

Sadly I despise it and think its only value is to adorn christmas cards – go on shoot me down! Haha!

Don’t know if any of you have seen this saying but it totally cracked me up.
“Glitter is the herpes of the craft world.”

True, true, I love it but you can never get rid of it and unless you are very careful, it gets dragged into everything you don’t want it in. LOL

Thank you so much for the kind words Beverle. Glad to hear its been fun for you. I know exactly what you mean :-) Polymer clay is a blast! And in regards to the camera work and editing, that is compliments of my dear husband. He is as much a part of this polymer clay family as I am.

Cindy – I have spent the whole weekend “with” you and your videos. I don’t think I have ever gotten more value from a purchase. I feel as though I know you and we are friends. Your teaching style is so warm and genuine. I have learned so much already and still have a long way to go. I will probably be watching some of the videos many times. I don’t want to ramble on and on but thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity. I haven’t had so much fun in a long time.

Love,
Bev

PS – who does your camera work? They are very good and the editing – insets, etc.- are excellent!

Oh Melinda I did not mean for you to feel “guilty” for expressing your opinion about glitter. I think it is great that everyone has their likes and dislikes. It makes the world much more of an interesting place.

While we are still on the topic of glitter, I have to say how interesting it is to see how the “laws of the universe” work. After talking about glitter in today’s post, just by coincidence it up again in helping Ritzs with a PYM II (Preserve Your Memories II) question. You can see what I’m talking about by following the link by my name. I just posted a video from a scrapbooker who talks about how to solve some of the mess issues associated with glitter crafts.

I agree with Silverleaf…. glitter in canes not good…. it leaves drag marks and just frustrates me…. however I like the look of sprinkling glitter on a bead before making it into a lentil swirl…. I love the swirl towards the middle that it makes… I also do that with little pieces of metal leaf…. it swirls very nicely. You just can’t have too much of either when doing this because the pull of the clay with the surface still needs to be pretty strong so you can’t cake the clay with glitter or completely cover with the metal leaf.

I was actually guilty of saying I would never buy clay with glitter in it again… and I probably won’t but glitter as an accent can be very pretty. I am a HUGE fan of metal leaf and mica powders, though!!! Love pretty shimmery things.

I love glitter! But in the right place, and definitely not over-used.

I made some simple black round beads with black glitter on the surface which looks very subtle but pretty.

Don’t like glitter in canes though.
