Such a lot of priceless information and different techniques. Have always wanted to do silk screening, so a BIG thanks Cindy, you made it look so easy. Love rivets, eyelets and other metal fasteners.

Also a neat way to use those canes that you haven&#8217;t made into beads&#8230; love it&#8230; cheers xx. <\/span><\/span><strong><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">~Eliane-F<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Hey Cindy and all the Lietz Family! Congratulations! You did it! And what a beautiful job of it, too! As for me, I loved all the PcT Roadtrip videos, seeing all these great faces and wonderful projects. I vote that you do it again! Love you all for your hard work, but most of all for all the joy you put into it which just pours right on out back at lucky us. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\">~Andrea-P<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Cindy and Doug &#8211; What a wonderful series of videos. Each is timed perfectly, and each segment builds. Love the super close ups Doug, and the clarity of the picture in the HD format. Just love this, a summer vacation memory bracelet for all of us who love our beaches and spend time tossing the wrack, lol. I dumped a jar of Matunuck\/Charlestown beach findings, and the memories flooded back of the miles of beach I walked and picked while rehabbing. I would love to see Bohemian bracelets from each part of the country, showing the shells and wrack findings from that area. For me, I already make the spiral moon shell, and can see improvements I can make on it from your tute. We get Irish moss, starfish and sea urchins, beach glass, feathers, fatter white spiral shells, rope, bits of old wooden fences, buffed metal can tops, puffy sponges, periwinkles, blue mussels, tiny molted red crab backs, oysters, scallops, and the most fabulous quahogs with pink to deep purple marked ridges. And jellies, lots and lots of jellies. Gorgeous sections of little uniform pebbles, they look like kidney beans. I can make beach glass using the Frosted Rainbow Beads tute, the puffy sponges look like Faux Stonewear, feathers from the Feather Cane tute, of course, the Faux Pebble tute. Myself, cannot imagine it done without a few Polymer Bead Cones with copper tentacles. The Faux Wood tute and all the Texture tutes, too. To get flashes of metal, I&#8217;d also use some distressed Embossed Metal. And the Fossil Shell Bead tute mimics some shells, too. Whew. Think that&#8217;s a pretty good deal for my money. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\"><strong>~Jocelyn-C<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Love making the headpins.

So, I can feel good about using it for headpins, they are 36 cents + each in sterling at fire mountain gems!
