Well it’s time once again to announce the line up of video tutorials coming in Vol-023 at the Polymer Clay Library<\/a>. But first, for anyone who is still on the fence about becoming a member<\/a>, here’s a couple of quotes that may help to show you what makes this site and my teachings so unique.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hi Cindy, I wanted to say that I enjoy your videos. My kids will enjoy learning from them as well. I wish we would have found these earlier. We did a lot of research, made mistakes and bought several books. Your web site, the course and the weekly videos have been so helpful I wish we would have found you first. It’s great having all the information we need in one spot instead of surfing and hunting for help in many other places. Thanks. <\/span>~Missy-C<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This Rubber Stamp Texture Video<\/a> illustrates perfectly what I love so much about your tutorials Cindy. And that is how much you really give us each week for our tiny membership fee. Not only did you show how to use rubber stamps for a great look. But you also showed how to make several types of beads AND how to antique them to highlight the effect even more. That’s three great techniques in just one video. There isn’t a better value for your money to be found anywhere else on the web. And believe me I have looked. XOXO <\/span>~Jamie-H<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thank you Missy and Jamie for sharing your kind thoughts and feedback. I feel so blessed to know that my tutorials are helping each of you in such a positive way.<\/span><\/p>\n

And speaking of tutes, the following Volume-023 lessons will be released each Friday morning throughout the month of April 2010, to help get you excited about spending some fun time on the weekends playing with your polymer clay.<\/span><\/p>\n

Volume-023-1 Puffy Beads<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span>:<\/strong><\/span><\/span>These pretty little hollow beads are puffy on one side and flat on the other, which gives them lots of dimension while still lying flat. Many clayers have problems making this type of bead. But after seeing my tutorial you will wonder why. Definitely a great bead shape to add to your collection!<\/span><\/p>\n

Another yes vote for me.\u00a0 Puffy beads can be a real bugger in my book so learning an easier way is definitely a want to know thing.\u00a0 Thanks Cindy for asking. <\/span><\/span>~Ilaya-B<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Volume-023-2 Faux Jade<\/a>:<\/strong><\/span><\/span>A classic as far as polymer clay goes, faux jade done in the method I will show you is not only simple to do but can also be adapted to any of the different colors of jade. Faux jade is well suited to molding and faux carved techniques. A must know technique for making faux stones.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have a recipe for faux jade but would definitely prefer a video from you, Cindy. Your teaching is so good, we can follow step by step. So I vote yes! <\/span><\/span>~Cheryl-H<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Volume-023-3 Hammered Metal Bezels<\/a>:<\/strong><\/span> <\/span>This crazy cool metal working project uses steel flashing commonly used on roofing and chimney projects to create gorgeous hammered metal bezels that look much like oxidized silver. If you make jewelry, you are going to love this innovative technique!<\/span><\/p>\n

I vote yes\u2026 I can’t believe that is galvanized steel flashing from Home Depot\u2026what a fantastic idea! <\/span><\/span>~Lupe-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Volume-023-4 Johnny Jump-Up Pansy Cane<\/a>:<\/strong><\/span> <\/span>This pretty polymer clay pansy cane is fashioned after the cute little Violas in my garden, called Johnny Jump-ups<\/em>. The name is fitting since these wildflowers Jump Up<\/em> wherever they like, sharing their lovely colors for all the world to see. Soon they will even be jumping up in your bead and cane collection too!<\/span><\/p>\n

Cindy, You have completely inspired me and boggled my mind all at the same time!\u00a0 Whoa!!!\u00a0 Is it really possible to make a cane like this beautiful Johnny-Jump-Up flower!?!\u00a0 Well, wonders never cease!\u00a0 If I can learn to make a cane anywhere near as beautiful as this, then the world truly is my oyster (hey, I could probably make an oyster too)! I know that I use a lot of exclamation points when I comment, but, Cindy… I am soooooo excited about all of this new found knowledge that I am receiving from you!!!\u00a0 I think you must be a polymer clay angel sent from above :)
