\"Faux<\/p>\n

Finally… The Tutorial Series that So Many of You Have Been Waiting For:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Six months ago, I came up with some unique approaches to creating raku-like effects on polymer clay beads. But rather than publishing tutorials right<\/span> away, I decided to post a series of pictures and articles here at the blog, as a way to introduce\u00a0 these new and innovative ideas. I’d not seen anyone demonstrating them elsewhere. And still to this date, no one has stepped forward claiming any sort of precedence.<\/span><\/p>\n

So… I guess it’s time to take the next step and allow all of you to benefit from my faux raku discoveries as well. Midway through next month (Jul’09) in Volume-014 at my Polymer Clay Members Library<\/a>, will be the release of a 2 part video series. The first tutorial will demonstrate my smooth raku technique. And the second will focus on how to get those deep, deep crackles that many of you have been oogling<\/em> over.

Shown below, are photos from the previous blog posts dating back to January of this year. Be sure to click on the article links and read the comments in each of them, to see what others have been saying:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

If you are already a member in good standing, there is nothing more you need to do in order to see my upcoming faux raku tutorial videos. However, it would be wise to make sure and have some alcohol inks<\/a> on hand… as well as mica powders<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have been sitting on the fence about becoming a member<\/a> because you feel there is nothing new to learn here, hopefully these faux raku techniques will help to bring you around. Surely at only $3.32 per month, price can’t be what’s holding you back.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s what one brand new member had to say…<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Cindy, I saw your answer to one of the members that asked when you will be making the video about the faux raku technique and you said it will be a part of the 014 volume. I sweared to myself that I’ll become a member as soon as you’ll learn us how to make the faux raku beads, so I had to do it! ~Andreea [Squash]

What I would absolutely love to see in the comments section of this post, is some feedback from existing members who honestly feel that my paid tutorial videos cover techniques not found elsewhere on the web or in books. Comments from those of you who have been working with polymer clay for some time now, would be especially<\/em> appreciated.<\/span><\/p>\n
