Yay, I finally got to see this video! It’s very good, well-done, etc, etc. It really makes me want to make some pillow beads — right away! I think I’ll use my extruder to make the rainbow cane Cindy used as an example, or maybe I’ll try the gingham, Hhmmm…. Either way, it’s gonna be fun! I’ve been thinking, though, that I need to hurry — it’s going to be hot and sticky pretty soon. I need to find several ways to keep my clay cool once I start making beads. The hot weather’s comin’ fast; so I need to finish my table & clay set up. I at least want to have a few days of nice-weather claying! Anyway, thanks Cindy, for making such cute beads, and such an easy to understand video tutorial. You and your hubby are awesome! Thanks again!

(I’m so excited about the other tutes in this back issue. I have some questions to ask about the rock tumbling video. I’m looking forward to his even more.) YeeeeeaHaw!

Thank you Tina! That is really nice to hear! A lot of the polymer clay techniques are actually quite simple once you know the steps. The nice thing about the pillow bead is how versatile it is in jewelry design. I hope you enjoy including them into your jewelry. You do such beautiful work! Thanks for commenting.

Hi Lynda – Thank you for the kind words.

At this stage my video tutorials are not on DVD because there really has not been enough interest for me to go to the expense of setting this up.

However, I am compiling a list of places where this topic has been discussed elsewhere here at the blog.

The “Sanding-Polymer-Clay-Beads” link up by my name above will take you this DVD list… if you are interested in having a look.

Hi Elizabeth – thanks so much for sending the photos. I LOVE it that you are applying the techniques you are learning from the videos. Your “extruder pillow bead earrings” look great! Cindy

Thank you Cindy for being so prompt back to me.

These are the ear rings I made using my Makins Extruder after viewing your Video. I had never used it for much before. I love the way this pattern happens. I have done pillow beads before but your latest video had some helpful hints for me. Thank you so much. ~Elizabeth

Glad to see you are all loving the pillow bead tutorial! I found them so hard to do when I first started and there was no one to teach me how. They are actually pretty easy when you learn the tricks!
