Is it possible for you to list the clay colors we will need a few days before these great videos come out? (or the name of the color recipes if that is what you used?) Our nearest store is where I work, but about 35 miles from home. Since these come out on the weekend, sometimes I can&#8217;t try them until I can get back in town to pick up supplies :-(\u00a0 Just a thought. I know how hard you work on all these videos and the blog. But a heads up on the colors we will need would be a great help.<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Sue-W<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Well Sue, your wish is my command.
