\"CookieVideo #170:<\/span> <\/span><\/strong>“Your ink, paint, textures, mica-powder and gold leaf technique looks fascinating. Very beautiful Cindy.” ~Susan-B<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes you just need to do your own thing… especially if you’re an artist. This cool polymer clay technique allows you to express yourself in so many different ways. And… you will get amazing results every time!<\/span><\/p>\n

Similar to a graffiti painted wall, a collage canvas or a hand painted art cloth, this technique combines all your favorite mediums, tools and design ideas together, into one unique concept. Because of it’s versatility, you will be able to use the resulting Polymer Clay Art Sheet in so many of your bead making projects. <\/span><\/p>\n

In previous posts, I’ve already showcased a couple of different jewelry pieces made using this mixed media technique. Here are the links if you want to check them out: (1) Hopeless Romantic Earrings<\/a>; and (2) Animal Instincts Bracelet<\/a>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

This is such a lovely piece Cindy… the round beads in your Animal Instincts Bracelet have texture and are luminous at the same time! I was very interested before with the Hopeless Romantic Earrings, but now even more curious about this fabulous technique. Fingers crossed for a lesson soon! <\/span> ~DJ<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cindy, I LOVE the earrings you made from the art sheet of the original mixed media technique. I would LOVE a tutorial as well. <\/span>~Stephanie-B<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I absolutely love your polymer clay art sheet earrings. I would really appreciate a tutorial on how to make them. You constantly amaze me with your creativity, Cindy. Thanks so much for all your hard work and your willingness to share. <\/span>~Beverly-L<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cindy – I’d love to learn this mixed media technique. How very clever of you to make the sheets thin like this so you could dangle three pieces and still have them light enough for the ears! <\/span>~Carolyn-F<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These are beautiful, just gorgeous. I would love to have a tutorial on this mixed media clay art sheets. <\/span>~Cheryl-H<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

PLEASE -another request for a tute on the Polymer Clay Art Sheets -it looks as if it has so many possibilities -fun -fun-fun. Soon huh?<\/span> ~Patt-W<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’d love a tute Cindy, I can see it being a very versatile and customisable technique to have in my arsenal. <\/span>~Silverleaf<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh Cindy your bracelet is a truly gorgeous one of a kind. I am in love with those beads, and that surface technique is shear artistic talent. Can we have a tute on this very soon? Pretty Please with a Cherry on top PLEASE CINDY AND DOUG!!!
\n<\/span>~Peggy-B<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is another wonderful technique, Cindy. A tute here would be just super. My list of “To DO’s” is getting longer, and longer. <\/span>~Joyce-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wow, stunning earrings! The polymer clay art sheets are beautiful, and a technique that I’d be thrilled to learn! Any time you want to throw that tute at me, Cindy, I’ll be ready to catch it! Thanks so much for your creativity, and for your willingness to share these awesome techniques without attaching a huge pricetag! <\/span>~Phaedrakat<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I forgot to add my plea for a tut on the Art Sheets – I was still focusing on the fact that it almost looks like whole pieces of flower petals, along with gold leaf, in the focal beads. And don’t they look like they’re multi-layered? They’re just so beautiful and ethereal. Of course, we’ll never know how Cindy does it until we get the tut, and we’ll have it so complicated in our minds until we see how easy she makes it! So I’m asking too, please can we have a tut for the Art Clay Sheets SOON?!! <\/span>~Tanya-L<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well… <\/em>I’m happy to announce that on Friday, September 3rd at the Polymer Clay Library<\/a> (Vol-028-1), the members video tutorial will teach you all about making these highly creative, mixed media Polymer Clay Art Sheets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please Note:<\/strong><\/span> A general prerequisite for all of my weekly tutorials is that you have a good understanding of the polymer clay basics, including: conditioning clay, using a pasta machine, clay blade and other simple tools, making Skinner Blends or Teardrop Blends, baking clay, as well as sanding and finishing. If you need help in these areas, my Polymer Clay Beginners Course<\/a> will get you up to speed quickly. There is also plenty of free information on this blog.
