@Kathleen: Hi Kathleen, did you get the information you wanted? I was curious, so I looked at the store she mentioned (El Nuevo Fenix) online. I don’t know the language well enough to navigate the site easily, so finding polymer clay was tricky. I did find Makin’s clay, but not sure what other polymer clay (if any) they have. The address, phone, email for the Guadalajara store is listed on the website (elnuevofenix.com/sucursal.asp — add the “http” and “www” part to the beginning of the web address…) Hopefully they can help you

It’s been awhile, so you probably already have the clay info you need. Still, I thought I’d comment in order to “bump” this post back into the recent comments list…just in case! Hope you’re claying & having fun! ~Kat

Hi Amanda,

Unfortunately I don’t have written instructions to go along with my video tutorials at this time. But there are over 700 articles at my blog that will keep you reading for a long time if you like. All of them have at least one photo. Hope this helps you out a bit.

All the best,
~Cindy

Do you have written instructions with pics because I can’t watch videos.

We were never sure what it could have been, leeching was one possibility, making the petals too thin and under baking were others. I am saving for a one of those convection ovens and that way I’ll be certain the temps are correct and won’t risk burning (and also not risk under baking). I actually “scorched” not truly burned a batch of my jade beads, the colors were interesting, not very different from the originals just a little darker and made for aninteresting variation from the normal colors.

@Elizabeth: Glad to hear the spotlights are inspiring for you. Now that your gifts are finished, maybe you can start creating for yourself!

@Rose: Thank you for your very kind comments! I am really happy to know that the course has been such a value for you even though you aren’t considered a beginner. Sometimes just seeing things done by another person can give you a different perspective on things. Glad to hear you find my teachings so helpful. Hope you had a wonderful holiday!

@Ken: I couldn’t agree with you more!It is nice to have the ‘storm’ of preparation out of the way and be able to settle down and reflect. That sure was a bummer when your roses broke. (If I remember correctly it was because of the plasticizers being leached from the clay from sitting in the cornstarch too long before baking, right? Well at least you know what to do next time when you’re making some more roses. Hope you had a great holiday and I look forward to exciting things in this upcoming year for us all!

@Melinda: Glad you like the spotlights! I too am looking forward to a great 2010!

@Sally: You are welcome! I am so glad you are enjoying the program. I agree that video is often much easier to learn from than books are and that it is a great way to connect with others, especially if you live in a place where classes are not available. Thank you for you sweet comments. I really appreciate hearing from you!

@Marcela: Welcome from Mexico! It is wonderful to have you here. I am glad to here you at least have 1 brand of clay there. Hopefully you can get Premo Sculpey because it really is the best! Thank you for the hug. I am sending a big hug back from all the way up North here in Canada. Happy Holidays to you too! :-)
