Your videos are very quickly addictive. Thank you for being so easy to follow and understand. Due to some health issues, I sometimes have issues with critical thinking/following directions, keeping attention span, etc. I haven't had those issues with your videos and that is more of a blessing than you can know. It helps me to not get exhausted quite so quickly and allows me to get more done. Thank you so very much!
Wow thank you Tara for your kind words! I am so happy to hear that our videos have been so helpful for you in your journey with polymer clay!! It means a lot that you would take the time to express your feelings like that.
Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial. I love how thoughtful you are when you teach. I hope you do more videos like this--short and inspiring tutorials for creating little works of art! The colors you chose play so well together. You are amazing!
Made a bracelet and earrings and who knows what next. You were right about not over mixing but turned out so pretty and this is so laid back and loads of fun.
I just started polymer clay. and I already love you and I just started watching your videos! I'm only 14 and I have posted some of the things I have made with your help on Facebook I just want to say thank you soo much u are my idol. I love you!!
loved the tutorial.. I am a newbie and been watching a lot of videos and really liked this one. just have to get the colors and get started. Love Zinnias too.
This is soooo cool. I love it. Wish you lived next door. ha ha ha I am new to the polymer clay world and so far I hafe made quite a few messes. BUT I keep trying. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos.
I just love when you do tutorials! Your love for your work really shines through. I'm like one of your earlier commenters: I tend to giggle along with you, and when my husband looks at me I just say, "What? She's just so cute!" lol
Love your videos. So pretty, also love how you do step by step instructions 😊, I have been learning a lot from your videos. Also one months ago I purchased the glass mat you have. So excited here, and can't wait to see all your videos. So far saw 20, you are amazing and very tallented. Very funny with great sense of humor. 😊 ♥️♥️

What is the graphic glass you r working on with all of the lines and where can I obtain one. I have another made of rubber, bit I n1eed glass/ Would you please let me know? Thanks in advance, ps your tutorial is great!
Nice cute flower! I enjoy your tutorials so much i even laugh with you lol.....my hubby is looking at me like I'm crazy or something just because im watching you and answering when you say doesn't look cool? im like yes it does!!! 😁😁😁
so pretty. Do you have a tutorial on making a ....I'm so new I don't know what to call it. maybe a cane??? I see it around fairy doors alot. like a block pattern. white black white black like little blocks
Cindy I just did this cane thanks so much it's so kool I do have a question I tried silk screen with Mica powder but I'm having trouble with the Mica powder after its baked it wants to rub off... When i go and put the varathane over it it comes off what am I doing wrong
It is probably just that some of the powder is still lose and not really stuck to the clay. Does the pattern completely come off or is there just a little powder coming off into the glaze? You could try dusting off the excess before glazing. Or you could lay a sheet of parchment over the clay and make sure it is embedded into the clay better before baking.
Hello, I have a suggestion for a product review? A halogen toaster oven, I hear they can work decently well for polymer clay if the top is a metal one.
Hi Cindy, thank you for bringing such lovely videos. I attempted the zinnia cane using soufflé. I made a thin flat piece. Would you recommend sanding and buffing or not? Thank you !

I've been having a LOT of trouble recently with small cracks all over any pieces I make. I make 5" scale figures that have separate moving parts that are assembled after they cool down. They are made of premo and I really love the stuff, but I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. This has be going on for almost a year now. I don't know whether it's a lack of plasticizers, too many plasticizers, bad/not enough conditioning, not letting them bake long enough, etc. It's been really depressing to work on a figure for a day and find out an hour later that it was destined to crack. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you.
I Love your videos, I have been trying to learn polymer clay tennis for the longest time. My biggest challenge is the fact that I can only use one hand as a result of a stroke when I was 26.For instance, lately I have been using your teardrop technique and when it comes to holding the clay when it's going down the pasta machine is tends to go sideways so I stop, sorta move it back with my good hand but that usually tears my clay.Do you have any ideas on how to do this without it tearing?
just discovered your channel & subscribed.. This is really cool :) I have been collecting polymer clay and buying a lot of the tools etc for over a year now, but I didn't have an oven until a couple of days ago XD I'm really excited to finally start making stuff :)
Hello , I'm from iraq and I'm a big fan in your projects and I take advantage a lot of your tips and increased my love and my passion in the dough workers , but I however unfortunately the fimo clay does not exist in Iraq paste , and I work with a paste porcelain clay but does not serve me to make alot of projects like cane .. please if you can tell me how to do a fimo clay homemade .. Thanks for your time
I love the Zinnia flower with all it's vibrant colours. And I love this cane. Question...is there a way to get the same finish look (depth) without using the UV resin? Thank you, Cindy and Doug for another fabulous video tutorial. (Gotta remember the camera man, right?) :D
Here's the video for that: th-cam.com/video/9XjSchhX7Q4/w-d-xo.html There are many more on this subject in our channel as well, so make sure to check those out.
I'm so glad you use small amounts of clay
These make the most beautiful autumn leaves!
OMG you are so right! Just by changing the shape to a leaf instead of a circle, it would make the perfect Fall leaf! Thanks for sharing that tip!

I would really like to know your finish on your pendants? Is it resin?
Hello, I have a suggestion for a product review? A halogen toaster oven, I hear they can work decently well for polymer clay if the top is a metal one.
Thank you for the suggestion Reyaria!
Magnificent ! may i know what makes the clay smooth and glossy like this ? i mean what coat or spray you use plz. ?
I’m new to polyclay and bought a very soft clay as my first batch of clay, not knowing there were different types. Do canes work with softer clay?
great tut, altho would like you to have shown adding resin final coat.
Love your tutorial ~Thank you!
i love the finished pendant and i would really like to make one i was wondering what you use for your glaze.
Thank you! I used the UV Resin in this video th-cam.com/video/9XjSchhX7Q4/w-d-xo.html
Where did you get those plastic containers that you have your clay stored in? I’m just staring to learn so your videos have been so helpful.
I got mine at Canadian Tire, but you can find them here on Amazon (**Affiliate Link) amzn.to/2p3bbhO
amazing cane! I was wondering how you make your pieces so shiny! I do apologise if you already showed how in a video!
UV Resin. Here's the video: th-cam.com/video/9XjSchhX7Q4/w-d-xo.html
How thinly did you roll this out for the final time before cutting and baking? Thanks!
thank You Cindy, this was great!
Hi Cindy, thank you for bringing such lovely videos. I attempted the zinnia cane using soufflé. I made a thin flat piece. Would you recommend sanding and buffing or not? Thank you !
Please could you show how to make a protea flower cane?
Very useful! Thank you
Thank you so much, this is beautiful.
Glad you liked it Nicole!

I love the Zinnia flower with all it's vibrant colours. And I love this cane. Question...is there a way to get the same finish look (depth) without using the UV resin? Thank you, Cindy and Doug for another fabulous video tutorial. (Gotta remember the camera man, right?) :D
Resin is the best way to get that thick glassy look. You can also use liquid clays, and glazes but it won't be as thick or as clear.
I actually like this a lot! Tyfs
You are so welcome! :)
love this!
How did you get the finished triangles done
I'm not sure what you are asking Donna.
Beautiful! loved it. Did you use resin at the end? How did you make it such shiny? thanks
UV Resin. I have a video on it in my channel if you want to check it out
how did u add the resin on top of ur pieces to make it look so shiny?
Here's the video for that: th-cam.com/video/9XjSchhX7Q4/w-d-xo.html There are many more on this subject in our channel as well, so make sure to check those out.
+PolymerClayTutor thanx a lot...hugs from India.. xxx
