If you did not already know, comments are treated like “votes” here at the blog. So your request for a video on how to apply polymer clay fabric sheets to vases or lamps, has been noted. Thanks for making the suggestion.

In the mean time, I do have a tutorial on how to make the actual fabric or pattern background sheets, that you may want to check out in the members library. It is in the Vol-011 back issue package.

Have fun as you start your exciting journey into the world of polymer clay. You are going to love it!

About your Polymer Clay Beginners Course… I don’t know how else these video tutorials could be improved. You explain clearly; you demonstrate every step clearly (anything that I can’t see, I click on for a full image view and viola, it is there) – is there anything else to improve it? I can’t think of it – if I can, I’ll let you know.

When I start on polymer clay, I will be accessing the Basic Course again to refresh my memory. As I have written before, I can’t wait to be a monthly subscriber – my loft re-org is getting interrupted ever so often with shoveling snow – but I am getting there. I’ll have the stuff set up the way I’ve seen it, get the supplies in, and be ready to roll – as your many other e-students have.

I know you are EXTREMELY BUSY, but would you please consider PC e-lessons in other forms – like vases, or lamps? I thought much about perhaps applying PC sheets onto homemade light structures – I love lights and I think any kind of lights (little lamps) would attract visitors to say, one’s table in a local craft show – but I don’t know much yet. I have no experience in the local craft scene. There are a whole lot of jewelry artisans here, many of them extremely talented – so there would an influx of jewelry in local craft shows. Of course, I’ll start with very small things – like beads first, and hopefully, I may be good enough to advance to another area and on…and on…and on…

You are a GREAT TEACHER – so thankful that I “found” you online while typing polymer clay lessons in my google search. I just don’t know what else to suggest that will make your e-tutorials a lot clearer. It is pretty clear enough even for a non-artistsan like me. Of course, the problems will crop up when I actually put my hands on the PC. That’s when I’ll revisit, a great deal, the PC basics course.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed – hopefully a PC start in mid-March 2010. I need to practice till I can produce some reasonably good things for sale this coming Christmas. TKU for the bonus videos – TKU for your e-tutoring – I like them better than books (step a fold here, step b …step c… I just run out of time/patience reading and referring to the diagrams and reading through the paragraphs etc. It’s not like reading a mystery novel…at least that’s my personal opinion)

TKU and blessings from ol’ yongi.

Hi Francesca — I live in Florence (Italy) and would be glad to help you understand any of Cindy’s brilliant videos if you don’t catch some of the explanations.

Ciao Francesca—Io abito a Firenze (Italia) e sarei felice di aiutarti a capire quello che dice Cindy nelle suoi video eccezionale se qualcosa ti sfugge.

@Melinda: I can SOOO relate to what you said about “…looking at the beads and feeling beads and playing with beads.” And you too Phaedrakat.

@Phaedrakat: Glad you liked the musical interlude. Music is such a powerful and emotional medium. It can move mountains if we tune in to it’s potential.

TRANSLATION USING YAHOO!BABEL FISH: I am francsca and I am gotten passionate to your workings I want to buy your CD I know to me translate those things that he sends to me and the purchase ways thanks.

The musical posts were a wonderful addition to the blog. The song “This Little Light…” was certainly apropos, and it was cool to hear “The Boss” do it. And how cute (and TALENTED!) are the African Children’s Choir? That was truly a remarkable performance!

Doug and I are glowing right along with you Susan. Thanks so much for being part of the community… all the way from Florence, Italy!!!

This one’s for you… Bruce Springsteen and The Seeger Sessions Band performing This Little Light Of Mine in Torino, Italy on the 2nd October 2006
