Hi Cindy just wanted to tell you I have really gained a lot of confidence from all the things everyone said to me in the Spotlight features. ADDED LINKS: Jackie's Spotlight Features: 1) A Polymer Clay Tribute, In Loving Memory of Vance, Her Biggest Fan 2) Making Polymer Clay Beads and Jewelry to Help Cope with a Sad Loss

I actually made an ornament from the holly leaf tutorial and got brave and submitted it to the Michael's Christmas Contest that they have going on. So thanks again for your wonderful videos and encouragement. You are awesome.

Hi Cindy! I wanted to share what I have been doing with your Holly cane leaves and berries.

They were great fun to make. I happened to have a few of the International Coffee tins hanging around waiting for a new wardrobe. I covered them and made these holiday tins. After I had made several, I noticed I had all these cane ends on my work table. I mixed and sliced and layered until I ended up with some cute little wreath pins to help celebrate the season! Merry Christmas! Sarah.

Hi Cindy, Here I am with my Holly Berry Canes and what I did with them. I was lucky enough to have all the recipes for the colours so went ahead and made them all up before I started. I loved the Succulent red and the Frosted Leaf colours. As you can see in the photo below, I made 2 necklaces, and another pendant, and a bell like decoration. Haven't finished that one properly yet. Finished most of them by sanding and polishing with Denim cloth. Was very pleased with the shine I got with the denim. Put some gold glitter in the Forest Floor clay color. OK onto the next project. Thanks for all your efforts. Love, Elizabeth K.

You're welcome Tina. FYI – I moved your blog link to the name field for your comment. Putting live links in the body of these blog comments triggers a "filter" that automatically sends those comments to my blog spam folder… where they usually get deleted because I rarely check there.

Enjoy the Christmas holiday color recipes!

**********************************
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
**********************************
When I make custom color references in the library tutorial videos, I usually use the A-Series Color Palettes. However, with this week's Volume-018-1 Holly & Berry Cane tutorial, I ended up using a B-Series Color Palette from Vol-017-B [Alpine Succulent Flower].

I now realize that some members may not already have access to this particular set of Alpine Succulent color recipes. This would be the case if you have not been receiving my Weekly Guest List emails each Friday morning.

So I am posting the recipes here for your convenience:

Vol-017-1B: Succulent Red
3 parts Cadmium Red (Premo)
3 parts Alizarin Crimson (Premo)
1 part White (Premo)

Vol-017-2B: Frosted Leaf
14 parts White (Premo)
1 part Green (Premo)
1/4 part Black (Premo)
3 parts Cadmium Yellow (Premo)

Vol-017-3B: Succulent Green
2 parts Green (Premo)
2 parts Black (Premo)
1/2 part White (Premo)
2 parts Cadmium Yellow (Premo)

Vol-017-4B: Forest Floor
10 parts Green (Premo)
2 1/2 parts Alizarin Crimson (Premo)
6 parts Black (Premo)
4 parts Cadmium Yellow (Premo)
1/2 part White (Premo)

Samples of the actual clay colors for the above 4 recipes are shown in the Holly & Berry Cane video at the members library.

Now if you are not receiving my weekly Guest List newsletters, and want to, you can follow the link by my name to subscribe. By doing so you will receive 2 B-Series color recipe cards to download to your computer every Friday for free. Please note, you do not need to be a paid library member to receive these B-Series color recipes.

If you know you are already subscribed the Guest List, but you are not receiving the Friday emails (they go out like clockwork), then you need to whitelist or allow my contact information.

This will ensure that my newsletter emails to you are not getting "filtered" by your Internet Service provider.

In a worst case scenario where an email deliverability problem persists, the easiest work around is to re-subscribe to the Polymer Clay Guest List using a completely different email address from a free email service. Gmail works well.

Please note that it is OK to use a different email for the Polymer Clay Guest List, than the one you use for the members library.
