PcT Studio Cam Videos Are Ready To Roll

Hi Karonkay… good news for you… You DO actually own all the back issues which means that you do get access to the Studio Cam videos :-) I have added your access so you will now be able to watch the Studio Cam videos.

NOTE TO ALL: If you are wondering how to tell which back issues you own, please watch This Instructional Video again.

Good to hear from you Brenda… you’re in!

OK… you’re in Marianne :-)

Hi Freda… you are actually on the Studio Cam list… it’s just that your log in access was not yet added. It is a manual process. I have to add each person individually. Your login access has now been added and you will now be able to see the new Studio Cam videos. Welcome aboard :-)

NOTE TO ALL: If you know you qualify to have access to these Studio Cam videos (i.e. you know you own all the back issues in the PcT Library), all you need to do here in this comment thread is say something….

“Yes please add me to the front of the line…” or “…the top of the pile…” or some other witty quip of your choosing :-).

I will then go into your account and manually add the necessary log-in access for you. It may not be instant but I will do my best.

PS: If you did not know, the box for leaving your comment is way down at the bottom of this page. In other words, you will need to scroll to see it.

OK you are in Terri.

Good to hear from you Susan. You’re in!

Done! Your Studio Cam login will work now, Betty.

Hi Jodee… I’ve added your login access for the StudioCam videos. Be sure to let us know how you like these clips.

Long time no see… Catalina :-)

Glad to hear that you ended up recovering your laptop. That would have been terrible to have lost all of your Alaska trip photos, not to mention everything else on your hard drive.

In regards to your library account… I just sent you an email about that.

If you didn’t already know Catalina… you now have access to the Studio Cam videos :-)

Hi Carole,

You are definitely not the first person to ask about this… so yes… when the new web site is ready, we will be looking at options to allow broader access to the Studio Cam videos. One step at a time though. Right now we are focused on making sure that everyone is “getting-what-they-paid-for” while at the same time, working hard behind the scenes to build the new web site platform.

Of course you qualify Elizabeth…. you’ve been around forever :-)

Your Video Cam access has now been activated.

Hi Anna – Too bad it’s not April Fools Day so that I could tell you that you don’t qualify. But it’s not, so I’m happy to say that you are in! Actually I think you were one of the very first members to join this motley crew way back in 2008 when we first opened the doors. Thanks for staying on for so long!

OK you are in Lynn. Enjoy!

Hi Christine… I’ve now added your access for the Studio Cam videos. Have fun!

“Wow, I just finished watching the first in what I hope will be many behind the scenes videos, worth the wait and more than makes up for 3 months of tutorials while you guys make the change over. I love that you showed the chaos at your work station, this has been a struggle for me also. Thank you so much.” Denise-O

“I love seeing behind the scenes! And your messy studio!!! Oh, yes!!! Thanks for showing that!!! It made me feel right at home! :-) … I enjoyed seeing your creative process for canes, too… All in all, after watching this first video, I’m glad I bought the rest of the tutorials as I think this will help keep the creative juices flowing! Thanks, Cindy and Doug!” ~Betty-B

“Hey,wow cool love seeing what your creative process is…. Love seeing all the different tools, there are a few ‘ingredients’ you have obviously haven’t been able to demonstrate yet, so am looking forward to seeing those in the future.” ~Sandra-J

“I always knew it took a lot of work to get the videos taped, but it is fascinating to see the pieces that didn’t work out. I can now see why you need so much polymer clay in those little drawers. It takes a lot of clay to work through a program for us to get it the way you want it and to make it easy for us… Love that you are doing these.” ~Freda-K

“I Cindy, Thank you so much for the cam videos. I watched all three of them couldn’t stop myself (over 3 hours of footage). I love your videos they really are the best I have seen and I watch a lot of Polymer Clay videos… you and Doug are the best your teaching way is great for me…. I felt like I was watching you go about your work and I learned some new ways of doing things… I love seeing your purchases and where you got them… Keep up the great work.I appreciate all the testing you do of products I know that when you say something works I don’t have to worry about it. Thanks again for all the loving concern you show for us.” Rosy-S

“Goodness… so much good info. It has been too much fun, these videos make me feel like I am sitting beside you. Thank you so much for bringing these to us…. I think the difference in the way it is presented is what my favorite thing is. I feel like you are talking to me friend to friend. Not so formal a setting as in the standard tutorials.” ~Karon-C

“Hi Cindy, theses studio cam videos are great… really loving this format, it’s great to see how you work things out… thanks heaps for,doing them.” ~Sandra-J

“I’m enjoying these videos immensely! They’re like a little window into your creative world. I really like watching you work through a project.
It’s very inspiring. The tools are just too cool, too!” ~Dawn-B

“Hi Cindy and Doug. Just finished watching Batch 2 and I cannot thank you enough… keep up the great work and I agree with those that said they like the way you’ve included us into a glimpse of your world, your creative processes.” ~Christine-H

“Just watched the first video and really enjoyed the “behind the scenes” stuff. You and Doug really put a lot in to making all the videos and website. It is nice to see you as just a real person.” ~Kimberly-H

“Loved all your experimenting to get the perfect Easter Lily cane, and really appreciate the hours you spend getting “just right” for us… already filled one notebook with different ideas. I have really enjoyed living in your world (that hour just flew by). This was a great idea you guys came up with, so a big thanks for showing us the behind-the-scenes. I think everyone can now appreciate all the work that goes into making a tutorial….cheers xx.” ~Elaine-F

“Cindy and Doug. This is neat! I’m excited to watch the planning stages of projects! Maybe some of Cindy’s phenomenal creativity will rub off on me… thank you both so much!!! I don’t know how you do all of this at such a reasonable price.” ~Vivian-B

“OMG! I am just loving watching these videos! I can relate from the excitement of new stuff to play with all the way to the piled up messes!
You are so funny. I bout lost my kool-aid when you put the yellow cap on the red gelato!” ~Lauurie-W

“Several times I have thought that certain tutorials would not hold my interest, but I always end up enjoying them. None of Cindy’s videos have disappointed me yet.” ~Patty-J

“What a technique, Cindy. I never had any interest in this type of inlay design before, but now that I see what you’ve done, I need to know how!” ~Linda-K

“I do see what you mean Cindy, it’s like when you go to college – some of the work you do will be in areas you have no interest in, but it gives you the background experience to move onto other subjects. I will try to look over the videos with new eyes, because you’re right in that sometimes you should do things just so you’ve done them.” ~Silverleaf

“Well here’s another one I didn’t know I needed to know. Love this look.” ~Pollyanna

“Everyone knows Cindy you have a way of talking us through something that seems impossible and suddenly it is so doable. One of the few teachers who has that wonderful quality. That is why I never want to miss any of your tutes even if I have done it before and think I know how. When you show it to us all of a sudden it is so much easier than before. You shine with the ability to do that with all your tutes.” ~Peggy-B

“I like that you are innovative and forward-thinking because you help me see things in a different light. Growing is always a good thing and you definitely help me to grow in my polyclay endeavors. I still can’t understand how you can offer so much and charge so little for it.” ~Angela-M

“I’m not really a bohohemian fan but in saying that I love the sea theme going here. The starfish and cone beads are gorgeous and so cute. I will be making those. The necklace though is what I really love. Thanks again Cindy for your awesome ideas especially those outside the box.” ~Sandra-J

“I understand that you may think you don’t need the first ones, but we all know Cindy’s way of doing things is not usually the same as what you can find out there in other places. Just a thought.” ~Karon-C

“Some really useful info there, Cindy! I don’t do ‘hair stuff’ other than using a plain ponytail holder for sport to ensure I can actually see, but the assembly techniques could be applied to all sorts of other things where glue might not hold permanently enough. ~Sue-F

“I confess I have never been a ‘flower’ gal… but Cindy, you’re making me ‘change my religion’ with all these gorgeous blooms!” ~Monique-U

“I went ahead and got this back issue and boy am I glad I did! Even though I knew how to make some of the things, I still got so much out of those videos. And the trumpet flower bead – how cute is that? I didn’t even think I would be into that, but after seeing the earrings she’d made, I know I’ll be making that project, as well. Cindy’s Quick Skinner Blend is so simple, yet such an awesome idea! I can tell it will be such a time saver, and a clay saver, too! Very cool. Thanks so much, Cindy!” ~Phaedrakat

“When someone asked for a tutorial on earwires, I thought that I wouldn’t learn anything new. Well, now I see that you’ve taken earwires and made them into something really special!” ~Linda-K

“I have been surprised with a few tutorials that I didn’t think I would like, but did when I tried them, they have now become favourites.” ~Cara-H

“Of all the YouTube videos I’ve watched, you are absolutely the best! I absolutely LOVE your work! Never thought I’d actually pay for a tutorial, given the fact that so much is available online for free, but I decided that you, of all the experts I’ve seen, certainly deserve to make some money at what you’re doing so well” ~Sandy-M

“When I first saw the listing for this video I thought, ‘what do I want with a bookmark video?!’ Now I am embarassed to say that, as usual, Cindy has shown me the light. I have made two and plan to make many more. Thank you, Cindy and forgive me for my original thoughts. I am always so happy that I subscribe to your tutorials. It must be difficult for you to come up with fresh and interesting ideas all the time. I love you, Cindy!” ~Beverle-S

“I never thought I would enjoy doing Viking Knit BUT I very much do enjoy it, THANK YOU CIndy for the GREAT TUTE!!!!” ~Kelli-N

“Cindy, only you could get me this excited about learning the Viking Knit. I had absolutely no interest before watching your video. I thought it looked too hard and complicated as I had watched a video on youtube and was thoroughly confused when it was over. Oh my gosh have you made it easy! Your step by step close up shots of doing this special technique just blew me away. Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. It certainly was a lot of bang for my buck!” ~DixieAnn-S

“Wow! You hit it out of the ball park, Cindy! This is a tool that I never thought would interest me in the slightest! As I was painting some of my ceramic Christmas ornaments (snow babies, too cute to stop doing my ceramics for), I thought to myself, I have this beautiful necklace that really needs a copper chain or something to highlight it, and voila! The mad scientist/Polymer Clay Guru strikes again! So many thanks to you, and your ideas that keep one inspired.” ~Marianne-O

“Love the faux Fordite but didn’t think I was going to bother with the wire wrap. Until I saw it done. Ya done made a believer out of me again. And now I have an excuse to buy that vise I’ve been avoiding. LOL.” ~Peg-C

“I didn’t think I would really be interested in the riveting technique, but some of the pieces you showed us in the video changed my mind. Thanks Team Lietz!” ~Dawn-B

“Gee whiz, I didn’t even realize that I wanted to know how to do riveting!” ~Linda-K

“This video is really cool! I’m not really into sculptural flowers but I worked through it anyway and it was good fun, and I made some pretty roses by the end of it.” ~Silverleaf

“I have to admit that when the sweet pea earring tutorial was released my first thought was ‘Sheesh, not flowers *again*!’ — with a roll of the eyes too, even… I’m totally NOT a flower person, as you can tell! ;D — but the dimensional effect, the splash of colour and brightness against your black clothing, and the dangle movement are all great. And of course, the principles in the tutorial can be applied to plenty of non-flowery thing too anyway.” ~Sue-F

“These little hearts represent what I love the most about Cindy’s ongoing video series. Just as with flowers, hearts and other (to my mind) “frilly stuff” have never been my cuppa tea. Well, I have learned to expect pleasant surprise here at PCT! I just “let it happen”… the videos that initially have me raising an eyebrow invariably become my faves. I guess it’s a chance for this old tomboy to relive my girlhood in a more feminine style! LOL.” ~Monique-U

“Possibly I’m in the minority but I’m not really into making flowers (unless it’s a cane). Or, rather, I wasn’t into making flowers. Now, after seeing this week’s tute I can tell I’m going to be making a lot of poinsettia’s this next year. I love poinsettia’s on a Christmas tree and I’m going to make a bunch for next year’s tree. Thank you so much for this tute.” ~Angela-M

“I’m not much of a heart shape/girlie pink kind of person. But I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial. You have generously shared with us lots of new techniques!! Really appreciate that!! Many thanks.” ~Joyce-W

“I’ve come to love Cindy’s videos and teaching style. In fact, I end up loving all the tutes, even if it’s something I already know how to do. Cindy always manages to teach me something new.” ~Phaedrakat

“Gosh you never cease to amaze me. This opens so many possibilities. Thank you so much. You know sometimes I think oh that tutorial does not sound to my interest, and then as I look through my tuts and want to see something, and am surprised I have not purchased it. Then I do and WOW! Every one of your tuts are fantastic!” ~Patty-J

“I finally tried the technique after hemming and hawing. Wow! It now does give me goosebumps. Thank you Cindy for all you give… you have taught me soooooo much.” ~Trudy-M

“For someone like me who isn’t into this style, this is actually very very lovely. I will certainly give this a go. I think I will head down to my $2 store for those little marblely things (our kids call them dragon droppings, why? have no idea). Have finally ordered the gilders paste and in the meantime will have lots of fun making the starfish and cone shell beads. Thanks again Cindy for a wonderful tute.” ~Sandra-J

“Thanks. It’s great to know the texture sheets will go in the pasta machine. I wasn’t going to purchase one, but I have now changed my mind. Love your videos!” ~Amy-B

“I was just scrolling through all the back volumes of our clay lessons and WOW! Does anyone realize all we have learned? What a treasure this website holds. I know I have advanced as a clayer. I found a few I hadn’t done before but now look doable or my tastes have changed and now I will look at them closer. Thanks Cindy, Doug, etc. for the fun and learning.” ~Pollyanna

“Cindy, you have a way of making a technique seem much easier no matter how many times I have done it before. This is why I don’t think I would ever be able to say no to a tute from you. You need to raise your prices!!!!” ~Peggy-B

“Thanks for another great video, Cindy. I’m not a big dandelion fan. I think it’s because DH has been waging war against the dandelions since we moved into this house with the big front lawn 7 years ago. But when I looked at the Pandora-style beads (which I loved), I thought FIREWORKS! As I’ve said before, I don’t have to love the exact item that you’re creating in your tuts because the technique itself always get my creativity going.” ~Linda-K

“I wasn’t that interested in pandoras until now. Those were so beautiful and easy peasy. Hmmmm the mind reels… thanks again!” ~Pollyanna

“Cindy… you are full of suggestions, as always, for alternate ways to get these effects for those who enjoy the look but cannot/don’t want to purchase this particular tool. Do I LOVE every technique? Of course not! But given enough hours in the day, I’d probably try most of them.” ~Monique-U

“Funny – at first I was not interested in learning this technique but after reading some of the responses, I’ve come up with so many ways I could use this! Now I can’t wait to learn it! Please do the video, Cindy!” ~Gayle-T

“I love these buttons! I have to admit, I wasn’t a firm YES on having a tut for these. I thought they’d be too easy – ‘cut a shape, poke a couple of holes, done.’ But now I realize that there’s more to it. You’re providing important know-how so we can create a sturdy, durable product. I’m really excited about this video now.” ~Phaedrakat

“Whether the project or technique is something I want to do or not… your videos are all so well done and professional… and interesting!” ~Freda-K

When I first subscribed, I was disappointed in the initial offerings. I wanted to give PC Tutor a fair shot, though. Well, I am happy to say I couldn’t have been more wrong. Cindy, I have become a bona fide admirer of yours. I love the videos. They are filled with tips and tricks and I love the happy manner in which they are delivered. Frankly, the only thing missing is… I want more! I see myself being a follower of PC Tutor for a long time to come, hooray.” ~Angela-M

“I’ve almost got all the tutorials, so looking through my library… I still did not have Vol#40… just thinking it did not attract enough interest for me. But then after getting it, ALL OF THE TUTORIALS AMAZE ME. I watch them over and over. I’m so amazed at Cindy’s dedication to her program. So inspiring. I take to work the simple attempts like a beginner does people love the items, though I’m such a beginner. I’ve turned several folks on to the site. A person can search the web for other tutorials but … really Cindy’s are the best. Clear and she makes it so doable. Thanks Cindy. Good work.” ~Patty-J

“Transferring is one of the few techniques I haven’t tried at all. For some reason it never interested me that much. But I like the vintage effect and I can see this working really well with line drawings of birds (I love birds, and they are still very much “in”). I’ll have to have a play with this one if I can find some good images.” ~Silverleaf

“Hi Cindy, I read all the messages you send and I’m sure you get tired of hearing this over and over, but I can’t express how much I like getting my e-mail saying that another one of your videos is ready for viewing. I received the one about making the clasps, and I thought “no-no-no I want you to teach me polymer clay, not metal work”… but as usual, I watched it and it contained extra information I had not thought of and hadn’t learned in the class I took. I thought the same about the texture video… “I don’t use those and don’t like them” but after watching, I got all these other ideas that I could do. I checked out the Tim Holtz site mentioned somewhere in your site and got new ideas about stenciling and inks! Thanks so much for making these tutorials… they are definitely worth the money!” ~Kim-E

“Just lovely! Funny, I didn’t think I would be so drawn to the sculpted flowers, but now I love them. And these earrings are beautiful. Thanks again Cindy!” ~Dawn-B

“Yes you are right sometimes when I see something here it doesn’t stand out as to me wanting to get to and do, but when I finally do it, am quite taken with it. It was like that with the Faux bone as they were not my colours, but when I actually did the tut, I loved it and now love that combination.” ~Elizabeth-K

“Just completed my 7th kumihimo cord. I got the round and the square one and love making them. You are so right CINDY it is addictive. What is it with this CINDY GAL? You think, nah, I’m not going to do that (when you see her latest tute) then hey presto, you are ordering all the stuff.” ~Elaine-F

“I know I said this wasn’t my style, but I’m sure I could still think of something that’s me.” ~Silverleaf

“Cindy, I have been buying a few back issues here and there to get various techniques. But of course, there is always something else that I would love to learn that is part of a different back issue. I’m sure others have said – I don’t need 3 out of 4 of those topics in that issue, but oh that 4th. And then interest changes, and the other topics become relevant. Thanks so much.” ~Beth-W

“Normally, when I see polymer clay jewelry that looks like food, I skip by it… but not if it’s something from our dear Cindy, because I always know that her tuts will be special. I’m just not a food-jewelry kind of girl, but wouldn’t a cupcake charm be just right on a bookhook? What if you were to buy a cookbook for someone as a gift and include a bookhook with one of those cupcake charms on it? NOW I’m excited about polymer clay food!” ~Linda-K

“Hmm very interesting… at first I kind of thought I was not interested, then… in Cindy style she makes it come alive and wakes up the creative mind. Thanks. Very very nice.” ~Patty-J

“Dear Cindy, I think I owe you an apology of sorts. Some months back, when I first discovered your video library, I voiced some disappointment via email regarding one of the videos I had purchased…. I was disappointed that the video featured a product and not as many ‘techniques’ as I would have liked. I have debated and debated about joining to receive videos. Anyway, I finally joined so I can receive videos, and I purchased a few back orders. Oddly, and this is where the apology comes in, my favorite so far is the sweet pea earring, which, ironically, uses a product. In this one though, I feel like I got the best of both worlds… a good product suggestion AND lots of techniques. I am an avid crafter, and I hold a BA in Fine Arts, so I adore anything creative. I also hold a BA in Mass Communications and a MS in English Education. I currently teach high school English, and my jewelry is sort of my teacher gimmick. (Students will say, ‘You know Ms. A. She is the one who makes all her own jewelry.’ It is a nice conversation piece and I often give students pieces for gifts for their Moms and such. I teach in a poor community, and such tokens are real treats for me and for them.) Again, just wanted to say that my first impression has proven wrong.” ~Gina-A

Good to hear from you Jocelyn… I just added your studio cam access. Enjoy!

Hi Rita… you already own all the back issues so no need for you to buy any more. I have gone ahead and added your access to the Studio Cam videos.

You’re in, you’re in, you’re in!!!! :-)

You are in Sarah… enjoy!

Help is here Linda. You will now be able to access the Studio Cam Videos :-)

Hi Cheryl… I just added access for the Studio Cam Videos to your library account… and yes you just log in the usual way to the members section. Cindy shows everything you need to know in the video above.

Yes I can let you in Liz… Done!

Hi Kay… just sent you an email :-)

Hi Cheryl… each qualifying member need to be added manually, and I had not got to your account yet. That is why you cold not previously access the studio cam videos. But you have now been added. Have fun.

OK Susan… you are in!

Hi Lawrence… the paid back issues start at Vol-001-1… and yes you own them all. So… I just added your access to the Studio Cam videos. Let us know what you think.
