What a lovely gift you have given! It appears that I have been blessed with weekly master classes by an extremely talented artist who generously shares the entire process of creating her beautifully and well crafted art pieces from polymer clay. She is kind enough to show many examples of her work, as well as the multiple tools and products she employs to lift the quality of her work to excellent. She teaches, she explains, she encourages, she inspires. Thank you, Patricia Roberts-Thompson, for being so generous to those of us who so look forward to see what new special magical work of art you have decided to share with us each week. I am hooked!
Petrina Clay, I couldn't have said it better. I absolutely agree with you 100%!!! Patricia you are wonderful! I thoroughly enjoy watching all your tutorials. I've been away from polymer clay for a couple of years and to retun and watch this wonderful and well explained video just got me so inspired. You make this crafting community awesome! You are a league of your own. Thank you so very much for sharing your creativity and beautiful talent with us viewers. May GOD Bless you always.
Oh my gosh .... Patricia, I could not agree more or expressed my feelings better than the gal below my comment. Your work, time, and dedication to teaching , giving tips, shortcuts, ideas, etc. is so selfless and refreshing. Your work is beautiful , your colors are striking, and your way of expressing yourself and explaining is worth so much to me as a novice. I love all your tutorials and do hope to see many more. Much thanks from me and those who watch and learn but do not comment on how wonderful it is to get all your information for free. Thank you again!
Thanks so much J.C., very kind of you to say so, it's my pleasure! When I turned my attention to Polymer Clay, I learned so much from the other Artists making TH-cam videos, I just thought I'd give back some of my own way of working with clay.
I haven't had my clay out in 4 yrs. Watching you has inspired me. You are so talented, Love the lil dragon eyes, so cute. Thank you Patricia for this great informative video.
I simply love your perspective on trial and error some videos You simply Have to follow their instructions. You have taught me so much. You have a gift and thank you for sharing...always a pleasure!💕
All of your bracelets are very lovely. The one with the blue eyes reminds me a our big fat Persian cat we had when I was a child. He was snow white with big blue eyes just like those. What memories! :) Thank you, Patricia!
I watched this video this morning and ran out to buy what I could to get started and subscribed! Really excited about this! Thank you so much for sharing your talent!
Thanks for sharing your tips and techniques especially coloring when using regular stamps. I also like the use of magnet clasp for easy closure. Thanks for taking the time to share!!
What a great tutorial Patricia! Thank you so much for all your work on this. I agree that the clasps and the bails are brilliant ideas! I'd call your toilet paper/paper towel thing a mandrel! I've never thought of scraping the edge - what a great idea!
I love your tutorials. Your attention to detail, your generosity in sharing sources for materials, and your beautiful work make it always a pleasure. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much for such great free tutorials. I've learned a lot of great tips. There is so many things I want to learn but by the time you afford the class then the supplies it can get expensive for us Canadian folks. Many of the great products have to be purchased from the USA so that adds to the costs. Just wanted you to know how helpful and how much I appreciate you taking the time to create and record these videos. I'm a textile artist who admires and wants to work with Polymer clay so thank you for the fabulous tutorials.
Hi Patricia, thanks for the video. I have now ordered the UV gel and the bracelet formers. Can't wait to have a go at these. Thanks for the inspiration. You are a legend!
Love, Love, Love, all your tutorials Patricia. Your tutorials are great for beginning polymer clay newbies like me. I can't wait to start making my own beads & jewelry. Thank You, Anne Werner
Thank you so much. Love how comfortable you are with the clay. You do make it look so easy. A master! thank you so much for sharing your talents with us. I truly am thrilled to watch your tutorials.
Beautiful bracelets Patricia. I have the easy cuff bracelet set and have used it quiet a few times. Watching your video I learned some tips from you that would make it easier for me the next time. Thank you for sharing your work with us. I love your videos please don't ever stop making them lol I look forward to them. :)
Thank you thank you!!! I'm going to order the form and begin learning how to make bracelets. I'm so excited and you're so generous to be my instructor via video!!
I LOVE THE LITTLE DRAGON EYES AND FACES!!! They are ADORABLE! They remind Me of the cute dragon faces on the movies: "How To Train Your Dragon" I AND II.
Hi Patricia! I just started watching videos on polymer clay... I try all different crafts! First I have to say your instruction is clear and I for one appreciate that! Thank you for the effort that you put into it! Second! I LOVE your Larimar ring!!! I am a Larimar fan!!!! Debbie
I love these, actually I love everything you make & how you explain everything, I tried some bookmarks with napkins & they turned out great. Thanks so much for all your videos 😀
Wow I love your work I recently purchased some clay and didn't know what I would do with it thanks to you I now know thank you again for taking time to share with us your wonderful talent
Hi Patricia! Absolutely loved your video 😊 Thank you so much for sharing your skills. My husband gifted me some clay for Christmas and you've really inspired me 🤗😁
Patricia. I love making cuff bracelets, but had gotten discouraged as mine 1. Didnt look professionally finished and 2. While they felt strong and flexible, they would crack when I was applying the findings! This tutorial is SO thourough, informative, and easy to follow. I have watched twice, taken notes, and now feel ready to try again. Thank You so much for sharing all your tips and resources wit us. I am a disabled Nurse trying to find a new purpose in my life and though I am “crafty”, I’m not artistic, so I need all the tips I can get. Thanks again. Terry
thank you so much this has been the best video i seen so far on cuff bracelet making, I would love a tutorial on you dragon bracelets they look great.Thank you again
Great tutorial as always. Thank you so much for sharing again. This is an incentive for me to use all the stuff I bought from Tiny Pandora. Love your cuffs and thanks for the information about the Min Wax.
Thank you for this excellent tutorial, I've learnt so much from you and appreciate your generosity in sharing with us. Now I need to get my oven temperature sorted out. Blessings to you and yours
These are beautiful--what wonderful creations you've made! One suggestion when doing the videos, would be to not continually move everything, but hold a piece of jewelry still for a few seconds just long enough so we can really see it from various angles instead of constantly keeping them moving. Thanks!
Thank you so much. These bracelets were really lovely and doable (I hope). I hadn't thought about making bracelets with polymer clay but now I'm going to give it a try.
Thank you so much for this video it's really essential for me as a beginner and I love to make cuff bracelets! I learned a lot, gave me a n excellent advise how to make these beauties. Thanks!
Wonderful video. You are so talented and bless you for sharing. I'm new to the polymer clay world, but I'm so excited about the possibilies of showing my creativity. Thanks and I am a subscriber.
Great video again. I really enjoy your videos. I did make a cuff and used a magnetic clasp and really happy with how it turned out. I entered it in the frying pan challenge haha
Thank you again Patricia, I love the magnetic clasp and asked Ethel question before I had finished watching your video, lol! I will see what I can get here in the uk.
Thank you Patricia again! I'm in the process of packing, but I may have to break out my clay :) Your bracelets are beautiful! I love the toggle clasps! Oh...more wish list items...dragon eyes, Teresa's forms, etc etc
As always I find your videos are entertaining, informative and relaxing. That is a combo to accomplish but you certainly have mastered it. I also admire how willing you are to share info including potential sources for products. All-too-often people act as if they and only they are privy to such obscure info. Thank you for that. I appreciate that you keep it real. I read that someone asked if you have a store to sell your items. I am not familiar with TH-cam policies but I have watched many videos that include pictures and prices of items they are selling. Some call it a Destash Video or even a Jewelry Sale. With your fan base it might be worthwhile to do research. I know it is time-consuming to create and keeping track of questions and requests to purchase can be daunting. If you opt to use TH-cam in lieu of Facebook as your format the least chaotic situations I have observed included the seller creating an email account (usually Gmail but any would be fine), and all questions were handled there. PayPal was the preferred payment system. I have purchased items via TH-cam sales. If sales were on more than one format (TH-cam and Facebook or any 2 options), things often became chaotic and people ended up disappointed due to not being able to purchase their choices. I am not on Facebook so I do not know how successful that outlet could be. But if you sold some of your lovely creations you could reinvest in more clay products, right?!?
Thanks Faye, great suggestions! I am the worst marketer ever, actually detest that part of it, but I realize some might like to have a bit of my work. I'll look into it :)

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much Petrina Clay- you made my day!
I second that wholeheartedly!
Excellent tutorial. Made them and really a fun thing to do. Would love to see your take on seed pods for late summer thanks!
Thanks Joyce, that's one thing I haven't done much with- although I love them

Love the bracelet and magnet clasp. My wish list is getting longer. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
I watched this video this morning and ran out to buy what I could to get started and subscribed! Really excited about this! Thank you so much for sharing your talent!
Thanks Shelley, most important thing about polymer clay is curing it at the right temperature, use an oven thermometer to check, and have fun!
Thanks for sharing your tips and techniques especially coloring when using regular stamps. I also like the use of magnet clasp for easy closure. Thanks for taking the time to share!!
Thanks Dorothy
What a great tutorial Patricia! Thank you so much for all your work on this. I agree that the clasps and the bails are brilliant ideas! I'd call your toilet paper/paper towel thing a mandrel! I've never thought of scraping the edge - what a great idea!
Thank you! Mandrel- that's the word I was searching for! I have such a hard time with words, when my mind is on the next thing I want to say- so hard!
I love your tutorials. Your attention to detail, your generosity in sharing sources for materials, and your beautiful work make it always a pleasure. Thank you so much.

Youre good, Patricia, I am subscribing
Thank you Lisa!
Gorgeous work 👏
These are beautiful--what wonderful creations you've made! One suggestion when doing the videos, would be to not continually move everything, but hold a piece of jewelry still for a few seconds just long enough so we can really see it from various angles instead of constantly keeping them moving. Thanks!
You can also slow your video down to 3/4, 1/2 or 1/4 speed for a slow down of things you want to see more closely, which will help.
Thank you so much. These bracelets were really lovely and doable (I hope). I hadn't thought about making bracelets with polymer clay but now I'm going to give it a try.
