Bear in mind I haven't actually done anything with the clay yet. Firstly, the videos got me really excited about polymer clay, in a way that the books I have, never did. Secondly, I wish I'd seen your videos before I purchased all of the Sculpey I have lying around from years past. I had some Premo but a lot more Sculpey. Also, I liked your tip about buying just a few colors and mixing my own, since space is at a premium in my studio. The video tips have allowed me to purchase just what I need to get started, without wasting a lot of time and money on trying various products for myself. I like your emphasis on a quality product. I think that's what's been missing from the experience I've had with polymer clay, whether in books or pieces I've seen. I have high standards for my jewelry and I think that the lengthy sanding is where most people don't seem to go. I'll have more feedback for you once I actually start playing. My glass cutting board arrived yesterday (btw, very hard to find. I had to order it online and even then, the surface isn't smooth. I'm going to have to use the underside, and probably cut off the little feet). Carole Carlson Cindy,

I think they would make very fun beads! Cute as earrings too, for a doctor, nurse or other medical professional! @Valarie: What you could do is make thin sheets of each color you want to use in your camo. Then either tear or cut the sheets into random shapes. Put these pieces onto base beads or another sheet of clay to get a camouflage look. Alternatively, you could take odd shaped logs of your colors and gather them into one big log to make a camouflage cane. Whatever works best for you. @Katina: Cool idea!

I also think the little "pills" would make cool beads themselves and could be used in fun projects. Has anyone out there made anything with the "pills"?
