Played today, and had a few episodes of both deep and minimal gouging. Stupid hands, lol.

Found that if I slowly stopped in place, backed out the blade, and then gently tapped or rolled that area a little, I could go back to it afer resting, slice again, and have no evidence of the original mistake.

Woohooo!

@Phaedrakat:

Hi Kat, what happened is, I forgot! Oops! I’ll add it to my task list for this week – I think I probably have about 25 or 30 recipes of my own. I don’t want to duplicate recipes that I found elsewhere in case it looks like I’m “stealing” them to pass off as mine.

All my pearl colours have been made into magnetic chips now, so photographing them will be easy at least!

@Anne R: Hi Anne, I found Cindy's comment about the eyelets, in case you didn't feel like looking, LOL! The eyelets really DO add a lovely finished look to clay pieces. Just in case you were looking for more, though, I wanted to mention that Cindy showed off some rivets in her Faux Metal Mokume Gane video. There were a lot of requests for a tutorial on that topic afterwards, so perhaps Cindy will bless us with a riveting or cold connection tute some time in the future! @carolyn: Good to see your comment here, Carolyn! Hope that you are feeling much better these days and well enough to do lots of fun stuff~

@Anne R: Hi, Anne R – Cindy did not use a rivet … it is an eyelet … like you can find in scrapbooking sections of craft stores. She explains it a bit more above. Do a ‘find’ on this page and key in eyelet and you’ll see more. I tried it and it works great!

I’m learning the mica shift technique and I’d like to know if you’d do a tutorial about how to use rivets for cold connections in polymer clay. Your Mica Shift video shows a lovely two sided pendant with a riveted hole and It gives a very finished look to the piece. I’d like to learn how to do the same thing. Thanks, Anne

@stephanie jordan: Congratulations, Stephanie! I loved reading your comment; I agree Cindy really makes techniques super easy to follow in her tutes. I’m a fan — watching her videos makes all the difference, even for us ‘regular people’ ;D ! ~Kat

OH Boy, this is so great,to see the results of reqular peoples attempt at Mica Shift, it makes me feel I could get good at this too. Cindy I do love your TUTs. After trying the MICa shift the way you showed us I was jumping up and down with excitement. I’ve had books on polyer clay for years and after doing all the softening of the clay,then trying the techniques I’d feel so disappointed in the results, that I’d wonder if I’d ever see my dreams of prefecting the medium come true. I’d hear my critic say,you’ll never get it, or this is too difficult to understand. Well Cindy watching and following your video have given me such confidence, I’d hug you if I could. so Here is a virtual hug. thanks thanks thanks.

nope they don’t, more’s the pity. I’m from New Zealand by the way, which is to the east of Australia and down a bit. we call Aussie NZ’s west island, hehe. Loved the Aurora Borealis Technique. Am going to try that one out very soon.
