Maybe it should be called the "Lietz Cube Method" for attaching cane slices, or something like that... hehehe. I'm joking, but the last time I saw this much enthusiasm on a page, Cindy had revamped the skinner blend, so, I'm just sayin'! Wow, there’s so much enthusiasm about “The Tip,” isn’t there?

Why didn't I think of that? And I have to add that I am learning so many things, WELL WORTH the membership fee!

I get many emails every week, from experienced clayers who have <em>been around for awhil</em>e, asking if it would be worth it for them to become paid members at the <a href="http://www.beadvideos.com/category/benefits/advanced/">Polymer Clay Library</a>. It is comments like yours Mary, that help these people see what the $3 member dues can provide them with. So again, thank you for saying what you said. I really appreciate it.

I'm enjoying all the videos. I've been 'clayin' for years and have done numerous techniques, tutes, canes, projects, etc. I considered myself pretty rounded in 'creating' with polymer clay. BUT when I saw you add square cane slices to a prepared CUBE bead, then roll it into a heart shape bead, I thought "Why Didn't I Think Of That?????" Of course ....... add square slices to a square bead, and shape it into whatever shape you want after that!!!! Thank you, Cindy, for making it easier to add slices to a bead and saving me some time in the process! Mary Clare Hello Cindy!

In the mean time Burnt Umber (Premo) makes a great chocolate color. You can add a tiny amount of Ecru (Premo) to get Milk Chocolate or a tiny amount of Black (Premo) to get Dark Chocolate. Geez I'm craving chocolate right now... I wonder why? :-) I may just do that Peggy! In the mean time Burnt Umber (Premo) makes a great chocolate color.

Maybe later others might change their minds and want to try it. Any chance you might use in your color recipe sometime a milk chocolate and a dark chocolate? Yummy colors you think?????

That feels great to hear you say that! :-) @Phaedrakat: Thank you, I am glad you are enjoying the videos! As far as mixing your own pink, sure... go for it! This kind of project lends itself nicely to mixing your own colors. You could mix two different shades by adding more white to one shade and less to the other, if you wish to do the two toned bead. This would give a nice contrast. The sparkles will also look pretty. It will be perfect for Valentines Day! @Julie: Thank you so much! That feels great to hear you say that! :-)

I love these hearts, as well as the tip for applying the cane slices--so smart! Thanks, Cindy. I wish I had joined months ago (I am mad at myself for stalling...) I have a question about mixing the color pink. I have not played with color mixing much. Due to back problems, I have to minimize time sitting/standing at my work area. (So I try to do my "laying down/laptop" research first!) I have a lot of Red Fimo glitter clay. Does anyone know if it makes a nice pink when mixed with white? I am trying to get some pretty pink shades for Valentine's Day. I have this month's color recipes using Premo--will I need to add the same color types to the red glitter Fimo or something else?
