Hi Karen,

Glad to hear you are enjoying the videos. Now to answer your question about the quickest way to return to the other videos in Volume set. There are a couple of ways to do this.

If you are viewing newer videos, the best way is to click on the "Home" page Link. There is a "Home" link in the top navigation bar at the members library site. And there is also one in the right side bar. The home page allows you to visually scroll through the content in the library from newest to oldest. At the bottom of the Home page is a link that says "Next Page" which allows you to keep browsing all the way to the very beginning of Volume-000 if you like.

But if you are wanting to go straight to older videos, the quickest way is to use the "Back-Issues" link. Again you will find this link reference in both the top navigation bar at the members library site, as well as in the right side bar. When you get to the back issue page, scroll down to the Volume you want to watch, and then click where it says… "If You Already Own This Volume…"

A question: After viewing a video (in the members' area), what's the quickest way to return to the others in that set?
Thanks.

I'm enjoying the videos! Good job!

Hi Lisa! Polymer Clay Express would be a good place to get the tools online.

@Cindy,
Do you know a reliable place online we can order the tools to make the poppy beads? One that ships to/in the U.S.?

I use these Sculpey tools just the same way you do to make 3D flowers. Those tools are great! Only I make flowers out of cane slices. :)

Another option to the Etch and Pearl tools Peggy, is to use a small straw. If you make the ball slightly bigger than the straw opening, you can push the ball onto the flower with the straw. The edges will ooze out and get embedded like it does with the pearl tool. Plus since the straw is open, the top will stay domed and won't get flattened out.

Love the new video and hope to try to make some this weekend. I need the Etch and Pearl Set from Sculpey so hopefully Hobby Lobby will have it and I can use the 40% off coupon they have on internet site this week. If not I think I might try just putting half of a small round bead on it. Wish me luck either way I am going to try smiling all the way.

Thank you everyone!

@pamagela: I will make a tutorial on the copper head pins in the future. Thanks for asking!

@lynn: Just ask them to sterilize the instruments first. Surely if they can put them into someone else's mouth, you can use them for clay. Sounds like you found what you needed though. That is cool!

I ask for the tools from a dentist and I was told NO because of spreading germs or something like that. So I found some simular tools at Harbour Freight. They are picks for mechanical purposes or something like that. I have found alot of neat things at that store. I figured if the dentist just got rid of the tools why not give them to somebody that could use them. They know I work in polymer clay and still no go on the tools. Oh well where there is a will there is a way. Hello hardware store etc; no place is above or below the eyes of an artist. My family tease me cause all I think about is "can I get texture from that or a mold." Oh well you never have to much of a good thing no matter where it comes from.
