I would love see how to make those. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Loretta-C<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Cindy your gallery pieces are just like your tutes, they just keep getting better and better. I love both your bracelets, they are shear genius. I am so honored to be learning from you. You and Doug just keep giving all of us so much while asking so little from us. Neither one of you have a selfish bone in your body. I would be lost without your blog and tutes. You can&#8217;t quit because I would go into a very deep withdraw and probably flip out then who knows what. All I know is I hope everyone agrees with me and asks you to do a tute on these bracelets or just one of them and very soon. So PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP will you consider doing a tute on your bracelet or bracelets.Love and Uuuuuuggggs. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Peggy-B<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Lovely bangle bracelet, Cindy, please show us how to make it. <\/span> <span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Ken-H<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">I really like these bracelets, Cindy.  I like how the messy wrap on the clasp gives it more &#8220;weight&#8221; to balance with the dangle&#8230; just my preference.  Although I could probably make something similar now, I vote for a tut on these.  Your videos always teach me something new. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Linda-K<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">I want to learn how to make wire bangles too! I guess you could apply the same concept to rings as well. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Silverleaf<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Very nice bangles! I love the clean and simple look. I especially love the one with the &#8220;messy wrap&#8221;. Although I agree with Linda and Freda that most of us could figure out how to make these, I would love a tute. You always show us tips that make things much easier &#8211; and better! I&#8217;d also love a tute on rings. I think they&#8217;d be really popular! I&#8217;m also hoping for tutes on polymer clay bangle bracelets with, and without, blanks. I think these gallery posts are a great idea. You&#8217;re showing us some beautiful jewelry, and we get to see it from all the angles. Way to go, Cindy! <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Phaedrakat<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Love the pieces! I&#8217;d welcome a tut, too. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Elizabeth-S<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">I agree completely with Phaedrakat, I really look forward to the gallery posts too. I love to see how the different techniques we&#8217;ve been taught can be combined to create such unique pieces. Would be very interested in learning this lovely dangle. Could be pretty with charms (anjou pears; hearts; poppy beads; tribal\/carved designs; faux-anything&#8230;), very cool idea. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~DJ<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">I would love a tute on the bangle too.

Cindy and Doug are the best and there isn&#8217;t a member here that would not love a chance to help you in anyway they can. Just ask and someone will answer. If you get a chance and have the money, buy some of the back issues. I ended up buying everyone of them. You can&#8217;t beat the prices or the experience. Even if you know a lot about polymer you will learn much more. SO BUCKLE UP you are in for the most wonderful learning adventure. Enjoy the ride.
