Also, your video library has so much more and I’m excited about trying out the recipe cards. It is difficult at times to come away from your blog. All these artists who willingly share their talents also are wonderful. Its like an extended family in the clay world. Sometime I hope to be able to contribute an experience but for now I will be there with questions as I share this experience with my twin granddaughters who will spend their summer vacation here in sunny Florida. Thank you, Cindy.

As far as tumbling goes, there is a video on that in the membership library. If you click the link by my name, it will take you to an article that has more info on tumbling plus a preview video of the rock tumbling technique. There is also information about how to join the membership library if that interests you.

For tons of free info, type your topic into the search box at the top left hand corner of every page. Hope that helps!

Thanks so much for writing your kind words. I’m glad the free tutorial videos were helpful. Occasionally I email out other free videos as well. So be sure to stay subscribed to the Polymer Clay Guest List.

Also, you may be interested to know there are at least a couple of others from Serbia who have left comments here at the blog. You can read what they have to say by following this link: International Polymer Clay Artists

By the way, if you are ever interested in purchasing my library videos, and you are not able to use Paypal, just let me know. There may be other ways for you to transfer funds that could work.

All the best,
Cindy

That’s very cute that you have ‘fabriced’ every cane on your shelf. :-) As far as whether they could handle the tumbler or not, that really depends on how thin the cane ends up getting, not the fabric.

If you’ve seen the video for the ink and crackled gold leaf (the link by my name will get you to the preview), you can use the technique for making the ultra-thin sheet of translucent and lay that on top of your fabric sheet. That will give it a barrier to protect it from sanding.

I can’t tell you whether the vibrating rock polisher one is better since I haven’t tried it myself, but several trusted members here have recommended them, so that is up to you.

A tumbler is a nice time saver, not matter which kind you get and I’m sure you will like it. Make sure to keep reading the comments on the tumbler post because new info gets added by members often.

Hope that helps!

I’m really enjoying the weekly lessons, and have learned a great deal in a short time. Thanks.

I have two questions….since I now know how to make a “clay fabric”, I have gone wild and fabriced (no such word)nearly every cane sitting on my shelves. Also made lots of beads from that fabric. Can I put these beads into the rock tumbler? or is the surface too delicate. (I used a thickness of 4 0r 5 on my pasta machine with 7 being the thickest) I haven’t a tumbler yet but will buy one after hearing from you. . Would the vibrating kind be a better kind to use? Thanks for your help. Judith

Anyone else care to share? You are welcome to submit photos and an article if you like. But you certainly don’t have to go to that much effort if you don’t want to. Short comments added below, are just fine. What polymer clay techniques have you learned that you are proud of?
