\"Peacock<\/a>Video #209:<\/span> <\/strong>“Reclining on a velvet couch, eating bonbons and being fanned with peacock plumes (full story below)<\/em>.” ~Mary-U<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I definitely had to dig deep to find that delightfully vivid, peacock related quote… from Mary-U<\/em>. Her words had Doug and I really laughing out loud, so you guys might just get a chuckle as well. Besides, what are the chances that I’ll ever get the chance again, to talk about velvet, bonbons and peacocks all the same post… LOL?!<\/span><\/p>\n

Cindy, your apparently inexhaustible treasure trove of ideas continues to amaze me. Although it’s well known that you spend most of your day reclining on a velvet couch, eating bonbons and being fanned with peacock plumes by your willing slave Sir Doug, somehow you find the time to work these marvels for us. Thank you, thank you. <\/span><\/span>~Mary-U<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now in keeping with the Peacock Cane<\/a> theme which began last week (See Vol-037-3 Part 1 Video<\/a>), I found another interesting YouTube video that is worth watching. It’s not about polymer clay. But it is a wonderful story about community, public art & peacocks of course. Have a look…<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

Coming up tomorrow (Friday June 24th, 2011) in the Vol-037-4 video at the Polymer Clay Library<\/a>, you will be able to see Part 2 of my intermediate level, Peacock Cane project. I hope you enjoy it.<\/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. Use the search box at the top of the page to find articles on specific topics.<\/span><\/p>\n
