Cindy Lietz uses beadmaking treasure hunt to trick unsuspecting polyclay’ers into learning… instead of just having fun:<\/span><\/b> OK you caught me! Here you guys thought the bead treasures contest on my blog was all about<\/span> innocent fun and winning great prizes. But in actuality, I’ve been tricking you into learning valuable lessons, directions and instructions for making polymer clay beads!<\/span><\/p>\n Mawwahaha! <\/span><\/i>This is one of those evil tricks a mother or teacher pulls on their kids… you know the one about making education fun! And it worked!<\/span><\/p>\n Here’s what just some of the participants of my Summer Polymer Clay Contest – Online Bead Treasure Hunt<\/a> are saying so far:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Thanks so much for the fun game!\u00a0 And it was educational as well. Bonus!! I have spent a lot of time on your site and I thank-you for putting the time and effort into it! I started “playing” around with clay, and now love it! I love learning new things to improve on what I am doing! Have a great day.” <\/span>~Kam<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n “Finished the hunt. Lots of fun Cindy and even learned a bit, like baking on Cornstarch, wow. Gosh, I thought I was a pro and knew everything, lol, not! Love your site.” <\/span>~Tina “I just finished the treasure hunt. The clues led me to new articles that I hadn’t read since my last visit. That of course leads me to notice other new articles and before you know it, I’ve been surfing your site for hours! Great articles as always and I’m looking forward to hearing more from you.” <\/span>~Cynister<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n “THANKS for doing this. I am not sure if I would have gone thru them all otherwise and even a old dog (I use both old and dog lightly) needs to get back to the basics. You also stirred some (different) creativity for which to go try. THANKS!!” <\/span>~Angela<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n “Over the years I have thrown away so much clay because I just couldn’t figure out something I was doing wrong and years ago there was not that much info out there and not the internet either. Thanks once more, and the Treasure Hunt has been great idea. I don’t usually comment much just read but not this time, and it’s been fun. Keep us on our toes!!!!” <\/span>~Yvonne<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n “I finished, and thoroughly enjoyed the treasure hunt. I learned so much today along the way! I found many pages that I had not seen before, and I had to read them all!!.” <\/span>~Cindy “Thanks so much for providing a totally enjoyable Sat. morning…your Treasure Hunt just made my day!! It was so much fun reading everyone’s comments…plus re-reading your incredible lessons” <\/span>~Garnie<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n “i just finished the tresher hunt i think soooooo yea\u00a0 i’m 14 and loven it and need all the help i can get!!” <\/span>~Alli<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n “Thanks for a fun treasure hunt.\u00a0 I bookmarked several articles to read later – this is such an eclectic and expansive art \/ craft – in some ways it’s more of a lifestyle than a hobby!\u00a0 Thanks for your amazing site!” <\/span>~Sue<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n “Found the treasure chests, treasure indeed!\u00a0 Your entire website is a blessing!” <\/span>~Karen<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n “YaY!! I finished your treasure hunt!! Thank you so much for doing that. I had no idea you had such great information.
