So if you want another use for irredescent flakes check out polymerclaycentral.com/2_rosequartz.html I haven't tried it yet as my Snowpak hasn't arrived yet but I found it today so thought I would post it before I lost it again ;)

(I shall post it on the newer page too)

@Silverleaf: That's very nice, Anna. I hope it's okay--I posted a link to this offer at the newer "Faux Opals" page in case someone in the UK gets in a jam. I think the panic is over now, though. The tut is in 2 weeks, and everyone seems to either have their snow or know where it's coming from. Have fun! The link to the newer page is in this comment, if you want to see what they are talking about over there...

Oh and if anyone in the UK needs some I can send some out once mine arrives!

@Cara: Thank you! I've ordered some – a girl can never have enough shiny glitter, right? ;

Yes, in case you haven't noticed, there are 2 (& sometimes 3) threads on a subject. At least it seems that way, IMO. The first is a feeler, to see if people like & express interest in a project or idea. People's comment's are "votes," so Cindy can see if there's enough interest to make a video. The second thread is a teaser of sorts, where Cindy tells us it's a-comin' up, sometimes with a specific timeframe, sometimes not.

Eventually, Cindy will announce a calendar of videos for the upcoming month. She usually puts links to the four video topics in her announcement; the links usually point to that 2nd thread. Eventually, when the video preview comes out, it is posted on that page. It seems like when there's a third page involved, it's because a lot of information has been gone over, a lot of time has passed, or something along those lines.

Cindy writes so many articles and comments, films all those videos, keeps up with emails, etc, I don't know how she does it all or keeps it all straight! And that's not even counting how she creates the techniques & projects to begin with! When does she find "time to clay?"

Anyway, back to the point, sometimes there can be four different places where people have commented on a topic (like "snow" for Faux Opals.) That's why I was trying to help, because it's easy to miss. Especially when the project is as popular as this one seems to be!

@Phaedrakat: Thanks, I missed that, there are so many variations on this topic.

I just found out I got the postage wrong from the site I mentioned first and it would be £4.49 for the postage! SO order canceled and buying from the same company through ebay where the postage is £1.40. Here is a link if you want it

Anyone else still hunting for buffalo snow if you live in the US I might still be able to get you some by Friday if you let me know soon. I have enough for several more people. I will ask Cindy to please give my email address to anyone who needs it.
Thanks, Peggy

@Tiffany Morkovsky: Hi Tiffany if you are still hunting for the snow let me know and I can send you some out in the mail. Just contact Cindy so she can give you my email address and you can send me your mailing address. Wow I hope that makes sense. I might not be able to get it in the mail so you have it by Friday but I will try my best to get it there soon. Cindy said a couple of Tablespoons goes a long way. If interested let me know.
Uuuugggggs, Peggy

@Cara: Cindy did mention a couple of other things we need on the post where she announced she was going to do the Faux Opals in March, where she tells us that it's optional, but we can pick up alcohol inks & TLS or Bake-n-Bond while we're out supply shopping if we want the depth shown in her example.

Ordered my Snowpak from economyofbrighton.co.uk/. It cost me £3.50 including postage for a 40g bag. I sat down and thought great I am ready for when that tutorial arrives but then I thought I wonder what else we need?

For the super impatient amongst us would you consider posting the equipment and materials needed when you send out your preview posts so we can get kitted up? Maybe that's too much effort or perhaps it would give too much away and I should just wait……
