\"Crocus<\/a>6 Videos #502 to #507:<\/span> Inspired by the saying, “April Showers Bring May Flowers”<\/em>, this Spring Tutorial has a little of both!
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This tutorial is one of those types of projects that came together, when everything else wasn’t… coming together that is.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was working on the idea I had for a different tutorial for this month, but no matter how many samples I made, I just couldn’t get excited about the idea. The more I stressed about it, and tried to force it to work, the more stubborn the idea became. It was as though it was telling me, leave me for another day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Having had this kind of thing happen before, I decided to listen and leave it for a day or so, to see if fresh eyes would help me come up with something better.<\/span><\/p>\n

With spring around the corner, I kept hearing the saying April Showers… Bring May Flowers<\/em> so I set out to make some raindrops with translucent polymer clay… even if it was just a temporary distraction from my frustrating attempts at completing this months’ tutorial.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some playing ensued, and before long, my workbench was covered with raindrops, rainbows and foxgloves galore!<\/span><\/p>\n

So…<\/em> out went the stubborn idea… and in came the fresh new easy idea. Much like another Spring related saying for March, In like a Lion… Out like a Lamb!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Wow! Sometimes you just got to let nature take it’s course! Or in this case, let the course take on nature.<\/span><\/p>\n

So here it goes… enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n

Posted just below is a Sneak Peak and overview of my Polymer Clay Foxgloves and Raindrops Tutorial. The rest of the 6 part video series will be posted tomorrow (Friday, April 4, 2014) in Vol-071 at the Polymer Clay Tutor Library<\/a>.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

BTW, if this Polymer Clay Foxgloves and Raindrops<\/a> tutorial looks exciting to you, please do click that YouTube Like button. Many of you have been giving the Thumbs Up to the weekly YouTube videos, which is great… Thank You!<\/em><\/strong> However, these monthly intro<\/em> clips need some love<\/em> as well. When they don’t get as many likes<\/em>, it makes it look like they are not appreciated as much… which surely can’t be true with all the nice comments you all leave :)<\/span><\/p>\n
