I found your site a short time after I decided I wanted to learn how to work with polymer clay. I&#8217;ve been a teacher my entire adult life, so I know a good teacher when I see one. I also know an outstanding value. I watched your three free videos and immediately signed up for membership. You give us far more for our money than any other site&#8230; most single tutorials at other sites cost more than our monthly membership, which gives us 4 tutorials and 12 color recipes each month. After only a few months of using your techniques, I was already selling my polymer clay jewelry.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong> ~Linda-K<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">I&#8217;m really enjoying the site and wish I&#8217;d become a member this last summer when I started claying.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong> ~Rose-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">I held out for quite a while thinking it was an additional expense I could not afford. Finally decided that an extra $9.95 was not going to break me and I&#8217;m so happy that I did join. It is sometimes the little things you do that make your projects look so much better and Cindy gives us all her tricks of the trade. I&#8217;ve made buttons before but never made them using Saran Wrap over the clay. What a difference. Another favorite was using the Adirondack inks for the Jellyroll Cane. Nice to have another use for my craft supplies. I would urge anyone to give up one movie a month, or one magazine, or anything else that equates to about $3.50 a month and join in the fun. I&#8217;ve been following your site for quite a while now Cindy and thank you for being so generous with your free advice. It must give you a sense of great satisfaction knowing you are helping others enjoy their craft. You are much appreciated.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong> ~Janet-A<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">If you want to become a paid member, here is the link:<\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beadvideos.com\/become-a-member\/\" class=\"external external_icon\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/> Polymer Clay Video Library<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Or if you are brand new to polymer clay, the best place to first learn all of the fundamentals is here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/crse\/01-more.html\">Polymer Clay Beginners Course<\/a><br \/> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">To browse other video tutorials that are available for purchase without becoming a subscribing member <em>(in other words&#8230;
