Thank you so much for taking the time to write those very kind words. Sharing feedback like this really gives others great insight about what they can expect from the video tutorials. I truly appreciate your help. ~Cindy OK Cheryl… you get the “made-my-day-award” for today… and it’s not even noon yet (I’m out here on the west coast :-).

I love modeling flowers and had bought some clay and made a few beads myself before i signed up with you. I learned so much from the videos each week but I found that I needed to get to the basics. There was so much i did not know. I could have experimented and found out a few things after the mistakes but this saved me time and clay. I learned about storing clay correctly and rolling perfectly round beads. A friend of mine commented on how nice and round my beads were! The video on making holes and enlarging holes was priceless because i had a problem with that - I'm not perfect yet but I now know I'm doing it right. I can also make holes after the bead is baked which I did not know before. I enjoyed the cane videos - the bulls eye and jelly roll and checkerboard. I also learned how to make a nice beveled edge pendant; I had made a flat pendant and rolled it up because I was not satisfied with the edge. So thank you for all those wonderful videos too and sharing all of your knowledge. You are just awesome! I hope you will continue having those videos coming for a long, long while. I look forward to them all. Cheryl PS: Thank you for the bonus videos too. Hi Cindy,

I absolutely love canes, so I'll admit it. I'm most excited about the Kaleidoscope cane video. I am excited to see it simplified Cindy-style (thanks for making it first!) I know I'm going to love every one of these videos, though. Gorgeous butterfly earrings, an inlay technique with realistic results, and homemade earwires to make our earrings stand out from the rest--it's all good! I'm so happy that I finally dove in and became a member. It really is true what everyone says about the quality of the videos and instruction. I find myself excited when Fridays come, just like I know everyone else does. I only became a member last month, but I am already addicted to Cindy's videos. I have 2 back issues already. I just watched Vol. #9 ( it features the oh-so-amazing Lietz teardrop method for quicker skinner blends, cool Mobius Beads, an awesome Extruder Mod Cane, and some absolutely adorable Trumpet Flower Beads.) There's so much stuff here to feed creativity! Anyway, I am looking forward to all these amazing projects in store for us in Feb. Thanks, Cindy! Wow, what a fantastic lineup!
