\"Polymer <\/span>“Isn’t it
\nwonderful the
\nfeeling of achievement when something turns out like it should.” ~Carole-H<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the goals for this contest<\/a> was to give all of you more opportunity to get to know each other better, so that everyone would feel more comfortable offering one another support when challenges come up with specific techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well this happened on several occasions. And one case in particular I’d like to point out, is when Carole Holt was having issues with her deep crackle faux raku beads.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result of the generous guidance from several of you, most notably Joyce-M, Silverleaf and Phaedrakat, Carole went…<\/span><\/p>\n

From This…<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

These were a total disaster. I could not get the clay to crackle at all. <\/span>~Carole-H<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To This…<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Hi everyone. I have finally managed to do the deep raku technique and I have sent the pics to Cindy. I was so chuffed that I did it again and made pendants and now I have made some more just to prove to myself that it wasn’t a fluke. Isn’t it wonderful the feeling of achievement when something turns out like it should.<\/span> <\/span><\/span>~Carole-H<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Carole: Hurray! I’m so happy for you! I could tell it was upsetting that your deep raku wasn’t turning out like you wanted. But you persisted – and now you’ve “Conquered that Crackle!” Congratulations, and I can’t wait to see the pictures. <\/span>~Phaedrakat<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I can hardly wait to see more photos. This is a wonderful experience and I want to say a HUGE “Thank You” to Cindy for taking on this contest. Cindy, you give so much of yourself and your talents and it has been said many time that you are appreciated. Know that there aren’t enough words to say it all. AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME is what you are. All the photos are just wonderful. I keep going back over them. There is so much inspiration here. Thank you all for sharing. If anyone is still hesitant, please take the step and join in the fun. It is exciting! <\/span>~Joyce-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And during all of the help and support that has been happening, there are even the beginnings of some offline friendships starting to take shape…<\/span><\/p>\n

Carole Holt, if you’re in Yorkshire you must be pretty close to me, I live in North Derbyshire, about 10 miles south of Sheffield. <\/span>~Silverleaf<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hi Silverleaf, yes not too far away. I live about 10miles from Bradford and 10miles from Leeds smack in the middle. Don’t get out your way but its quite possible as it’s not like we live in America where the distances are so great. P.S. love your work.<\/span> ~Carole-H<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Carole. We’re practically neighbours, lol! You know, I’m feeling another Cindy’s (UK) Girls meetup coming on, you interested? Some of us met up a couple of times last year and it was great fun! <\/span>~Silverleaf<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So as you can see, the goals of this bead giveaway event are in fact being met. I’m so happy that everyone is having so much fun.<\/span><\/p>\n
