\"Polymer“You have inspired me to get my hands in the clay instead of just looking at all the wonderful things Cindy shows us.” ~Maureen-G<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s the holidays and I am taking a bit of break. In case you missed the announcement, the changed schedule for the weekly color recipes and videos, is posted here: Polymer Clay Tutor Holiday Schedule<\/a>. And to give you something to read here at the blog, I am providing a 4 part series with links to all of the Spotlight Features from the last 6 months. They are very inspirational.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sorry Melinda, but I’ve got to say it… FABULOUS!!!! I wish I was half as brave as you to try all the new techniques. It takes me a long time to work up to trying one, never mind all of them. Great job. And now you have inspired me to get my hands in the clay instead of just looking at all the wonderful things Cindy shows us. Thanks for sharing!<\/span><\/span>~Maureen-G<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As an idea for the comments while I am on my little break, Peggy-B suggested that everyone think back over the past year and share some thoughts about your favorite lesson(s) so far… or perhaps talk about an proud accomplishment that happened for you with your polymer clay.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you Peggy for making this suggestion. I value everyones comments as special gifts, and appreciate all of you very much. And now here is Part 4 of the four part Spotlight Summary Series:<\/span><\/p>\n
