You see they are both confined to wheelchairs&#8230; but it&#8217;s actually hard to tell&#8230; mostly because of their positive attitude about life&#8230; <em>and polymer clay of course<\/em> :-)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">No this is not a perfectly polished production. Although I am no stranger to talking or being on camera, I <em>am<\/em> new to interviewing people in a live setting. So sometimes I wasn&#8217;t holding the mic correctly&#8230; and a couple of the close-ups went blurry because I didn&#8217;t hold items still enough for Doug to get the camera focused.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">But, there was something so real and genuine and sweet about the connections we made that day. Stories bubbled to the surface, and passion oozed from every pore when Arvita and Ross spoke.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I really loved this video when watching it back. I hope you enjoy it too&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/21SlvzYl_gc?rel=0\" width=\"575\" height=\"323\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">This PcT Roadtrip video series is not so much about showcasing <em>grand masters<\/em> (although so far we have seen some pretty great stuff). It is more about capturing passion. In other words, being an already recognized artist is not a prerequisite for coming on our <em>show<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">By the way, we did meet up with one <em>celebrity<\/em> artist on this first PcT Roadtrip. You will get to meet her soon enough. In the meantime, please do leave a comment in the section below, by sending some love to Arvita and Ross (plus Bella and Cooper, their little pooch companions).<\/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\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/cindy-sig.jpg\" alt=\"Cindy Lietz Signature\" width=\"114\" height=\"99\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/polymer-clay-tutor.jpg\" alt=\"Polymer Clay Tutor\" width=\"200\" height=\"26\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/cm?t=hubp0da1-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=13&amp;l=ur1&amp;category=gift_certificates&amp;banner=180TQ0K9X17QCCZQS4R2&amp;f=ifr\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video #299: Roadtrip #1-03: &#8220;There was something so real and sweet about the connections we made that day.&#8221; ~Cindy Lietz<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2435],"tags":[2671,2629,2721],"class_list":["post-16206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pct-roadtrips","tag-miniatures-foodies-sculpted-figures-dolls-fairies-trolls","tag-pets-wildlife","tag-polymer-clay-flowers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16206","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=16206"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16206\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
