Polymer Clay Tutor – This Week See More Than Just My Hands Talking

Oh how nice to see your pretty smiling face Cindy! How you're enjoying your break!

I do enjoy these interview vids, it's nice to see the face of our guru every so often. As a performer myself I understand the effort it takes for getting "camera" ready. Hope you enjoyed your vacation.

What a great video Cindy, why doesn't my mistakes look like that?

I really enjoyed this video, both in seeing your friendly face and also the message you sent. Thanks so much for all your help and inspiration Cindy.

Oh yea, and Calla Lily beads? Hurry, hurry, there is still time for me to make and incorporate some of these into the wedding. Time is ticking down though, Oct. 3. At least I got the wedding dress finished. :) I will have to take and show you guys pictures of all my clay projects that helped me pull this wedding together.

Cindy, What a nice friendly smiling face! I hope your vacation is going well.

Laurel, looking forward to your photos of your clay projects and send some of the dress!

Ken, What kind of a performer are you? Would we see ya on TV? Maybe we got a celebrity here!!

@ Catalina

I sing opera, not in the big houses but I do perform. I just completed my 11th season with OperaDelaware in Wilmington Delaware, I had a fairly decent role (not one of the main leads, but still a lot of singing) in their final production last season of The Marriage of Figaro. The beading and making jewelry was "supposed" to be a hobby, to relax from my "real" job and do something creative when I wasn't singing. But folks liked what I've done so far, and have been selling to the people I ride on the train with in the mornings and evenings (no etsy site yet).

Enjoy your time off. I always wondered when you slept since you are always on top of any problem that arises with any of us on our clay experiments or receiving e-mails,newsletters,etc.,from you. Hope that one day I can be lucky enough to subsribe and get to see all your video's and have the rest of the color recipes. Again enjoy your time with the hubby and the children, God Bless. Lynn W.

I loved seeing your new video. Your face is as cute as your voice. Fantastic job and Love this months colors.

Ken, I never would have guessed singing! If I ever get to the East Coast I'll have to come and check out your show.

Hi Cindy I sent you a e-mail yesterday because I was worried that I did not received the new video. Thank God I know why now. What a relief. Anyway I will be waiting for next Friday. Thank you for all the lessons. I have learned so much from your videos. You make them so easy to understand. Thank you!!

@ Catalina

There are two short clips from the first orchestra rehearsal from "Figaro" on my Facebook page. I live in Philadelphia if that will help "find" me.

Ken, Sorry I couldn't find you in Facebook. Look me up on Facebook, Diana Catalina Ledesma.

@ Catalina

Sent you a FB friend request, I'm certain you'll know it's from me.

@Ken Yay opera! I'm a singer myself (don't do opera though, I sing in a choir with very occasional little solos – sacred choral stuff mostly).

Being an alto I get annoyed that sopranos seem to get all the good parts!

@Cindy Awesome, that bracelet is so pretty. :)

Oh yeah, and if anyone wants to add me on Facebook, I'm at facebook.com/profile.php?v=feed&id=61107323

There is nothing little about a solo (same deal as there are no small roles)

Like I was saying to Catalina I have two short clips from the first Orchestra Rehearsal, but theres full Orch., costumes, sets so everything is there that was there in the performances except an audience. The character's name was Antonio (he's the gardener for the count) in Marriage of Figaro.

Awesome Ken, I'll have a look.

Oh and I love that first orchestra rehearsal, when you get to hear how it's going to come together.

We performed a piece composed by our accompanist in the last concert we did. Only the second time it's been performed and he orchestrated it for our performance so we'd only heard the vocal parts in rehearsal. It's a fantastic piece and it as the orchestra played the first section my jaw just dropped then I got a huge grin on my face! Sounded like something from a film, which is about the highest praise I can give. :)

Sorry for hijacking this thread with music talk, Cindy!

And Cindy, I have to say you don't look old enough to have a 12-year-old daughter.

Maybe you gifted folks who sing could send audios to be added, so that while we are having our coffee, reading the blog, and deciding what to make next, we could listen to your work. Be fun! Love being exposed to and listening to varied and creative snippets I would never hear, otherwise.

Be interesting to see what audio here would bring to the creative process, though, it might be too much of a distraction here. I have to download some of that medival monk chanting now….just came to me, LOL!

I have two short clips on Facebook (hardly enought time to get a sip of coffee) if you want to see them here is my link to my profile. (copy and paste) facebook.com/home.php#/profile.phpid=540945625&ref=profile Remember to add the www. to the link. I think anybody should be able to view them, I didn't intend to put blocks on them. Thanks to Silverleaf for the posting the Facebook link trick. :o)

Thanks everyone for the fun commenting! Ken I haven't been able to see your clips yet. Bet they're great though!

A touch of musical info about myself. As a teen I played flute in a youth orchestra as well as in several ensembles. Got to play on TV in the the Variety Club Telethon (back before it had famous people on it). Don't play any more, but do still have a love for all things musical.

Are you able to get to my profile page?

No Ken I'm not. Just get an error.
