Also I&#8217;ve noticed how quickly you respond to any questions we email you with. It&#8217;s like having our direct link to a movie star who actually responds personally to her fan club! LOL. I also want to thank you for bringing such joy into the lives of so many of us. I had to retire early due to a disability that keeps me close to home and fairly physically inactive. I&#8217;ve been play\/claying for several years and have never seen any site that teaches so much sooo economically as yours does. Anyone who is living off of disability benefits will tell you that funds are tight but the INVESTMENT I make with you each month is considered almost a necessity for sanity for me. Keep up the outstanding work you and your husband produce each week! Sincerely. <\/span><\/span><strong><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">~Maria-K<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I realise now why I love your beadvideo site so much: it&#8217;s because you provide &#8216;quality time&#8217; which is one of my &#8216;love languages&#8217; and so I can never get enough of it. For a very modest sum I can look forward to you giving me 10 minutes of quality time every Friday! Thanks Cindy, thanks again and again! FYI: &#8216;Quality Time&#8217; is one of the 5 &#8216;love languages&#8217; (LL). The other four are &#8216;acts of service&#8217;, &#8216;touch&#8217;, &#8216;words of affirmation&#8217; and &#8216;gifts&#8217;. When someone shares your LL it creates a big rapport. So, for example, if you&#8217;re a &#8216;touch&#8217; person it will feel natural to hug people, but if this isn&#8217;t your LL you&#8217;ll probably pull away and feel awkward. I suspect &#8216;quality time&#8217; is one of Cindy&#8217;s, and another is probably &#8216;acts of service&#8217; as she takes such trouble doing things for people &#8211; and likely loves doing it too! It&#8217;s often found that partners share some of the same LL so it&#8217;s likely Doug shares these traits too! <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\">~Marion-R<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Well I was too ill to make Thanksgiving with my family but I am still very thankful for many many things. One of them is everything I have received from Cindy and Doug. WOW &#8211; 231 tutorials &#8211; I didn&#8217;t realize I had watched that many tutorials. Can you imagine what these would of cost us anywhere else. Not only is Cindy very gifted with this artistic blessing but the generosity that comes from the Lietz family is without a doubt something beyond spectacular. This entire family has been blessed in so many ways. No greedy people in this family. Cindy has priced her tutes so anyone can afford them. If you want to learn this is the place to come. There is a clay family here to join and everyone in it is willing to help whenever they can. I think some of Cindy has rubbed off onto all of us. Now I call that a blessing and a half. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\"><strong>~Peggy-B<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The following topics are included in this week&#8217;s Polymer Clay Tutor Library, <strong><em>Snowy Tree Cane <\/em><\/strong>video tutorial:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">See examples of canes, beads, earrings, and several pendants using this unique style of a polymer clay &#8220;pointallist&#8221; cane.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Find out how simple it is to create components for complicated patterns, by just following along to the step by step instructional video.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Learn the reasons why color contrast is so important to a cane design of this kind.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">How to build a complicated looking yet simple to make, pointillism style cane, using tiny extruded clay pieces.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Plus, with some creativity and ingenuity, there are many ways to come up with other unique designs of your own.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The full version of the <strong>&#8220;Snowy Tree Cane&#8221;<\/strong> preview video shown above, is now avail for purchase at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beadvideos.com\/back-issues-02\/#vol-043\" class=\"external external_icon\" target=\"_blank\">Polymer Clay Library<\/a> in the <strong>Vol-043 Back Issue Pckg.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 575px;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 200px;\"><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"border: 0px;\" alt=\"Cindy Lietz Signature\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/cindy-sig.jpg\" width=\"114\" height=\"99\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"border: 0px;\" alt=\"Polymer Clay Tutor\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/polymer-clay-tutor.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"26\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video #233: &#8220;Cindy I really want to thank you for your generosity in promoting other artists and their styles.&#8221; ~Beverly-L<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2664],"tags":[1059,1962,2287,1707,2288,1477],"class_list":["post-14732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-polymer-clay-tutorials","tag-member-vids","tag-natural-landscapes-scenery","tag-pointillist","tag-polymer-clay-extruder-projects","tag-rogest","tag-snow"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14732","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14732"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14732\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14732"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14732"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14732"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
