I&#8217;m glad you can envision colors, Cindy. Nature is a great source for inspiration and living in Arizona I enjoy the earth tones of the desert, the wonderful colors from our cactus and wildflowers, the color influence from Mexico and of course the sunsets. Trying to duplicate them is a tough one for me. Have you ever considered doing a southwest color palette? Wouldn&#8217;t it be fun to do a series on colors from around the world, tulips from Holland, the waters of Aruba, colors from the Rainforest!

As a complete newbie to polymer clay, I started out by purchasing Cindy\u2019s beginner course. The amount of information jam packed into that course is priceless! I looked around my area for polymer clay courses, and was unable to find one for under $70 for a 3 hour class. By purchasing Cindy\u2019s course, I instantly had access to 2.5 hours of polymer clay instruction, and I could watch in the privacy of my own home! If you\u2019re anything like me, you only retain about 75% of the information the first time around. With Cindy\u2019s course I can re-watch as many times as necessary, and even bring my laptop into my craft area! I then purchased the membership, and continued to be impressed! I have since purchased almost all of the back issue packages! The creativity, quality and ease with which the lessons are presented make working with polymer clay so easy! I\u2019m constantly amazed by what I am able to create! For only $9.95 every 3 months? Definitely well worth the money! Thanks Cindy! <strong> <\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">~Melissa-G<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Cindy&#8217;s video tutes are amazing!
