Hey, Cindy — I watched your way of doing Skinner blends, with tear drop pieces of clay and — wow. I don't think I'll EVER cut triangles again! This is so much easier and I can see much more clearly how the colors will blend. Thanks.

You're welcome Kay! Fall is the perfect time to start the new hobby of making polymer clay beads! Just in time to make a few Christmas Presents!

Let me know if you need any help.

Thanks so much for sending me the URL for this video. I am planning to begin making polymer beads sometime this fall (after I complete several other projects around the house).
I plan to spend more time on your website as I have time.

Thanks again Cindy! I see that if you manipulate the cane roll slowly at first, you can get a tighter beginning. Every time I would roll up, I had a little hole in the center. It should have dawned on me to tighten.

Also thanks for your answer to covering wood. One or two days after I asked you about this, I watched a Carol Duvall episode where she had a polymer artist on who was covering wood to make clocks. She said that you brush on any all purpose glue, like you said, so the clay would adhere to it. It's funny how coincidence came into play again. Anyway I want to let you know that your tutorials are so helpful.

Also I read more of your Q&As and saw where you explain about the diff. in the kind of clay. I see if I would just take the time and read everything,. my answers would be met. Mary Ellen
