Dear Susan, You have been a complete game changer for me!!! I have watched all your videos, began with flower canes (which did not resemble yours much), but have kept at it and suddenly the canes are looking much better. I have worked with clay for about a year before seeing your videos, but it was limited to all pendants, white clay and alcohol ink (mundane stuff). Your videos have completely opened a whole new world for me. I made at least 100 acorns and pumpkins and when the video on a bracelet arrived, I made quite a few and my friends/family loved the bracelets! I now have a bead stash of flowers, bubble canes, which I adore! (in at least 4 colors!), swirl and even my very own canes (altho I am sure someone has done them...they are simple) Yesterday, I made 50 collage beads when I saw your video.I now mix all my colors with pearl and white and gold and they look unique.... and I am loving the colors. I am telling you this because you should know what a wonderful influence you have had on me and those who see your videos!! You are a great teacher!!
Thank you SO much for sharing your extensive knowledge, expertise and pure joy with working with clay!! I also love your cute pup. We have 3 pups and my gmail address is for our oldest, Oona, an 11 yr old irish wolfhound. I just can't thank you enough!
Thank you , your so kind 😊
Saturday binge watching your videos ❤️ that’s a great day ❤️
love your work and your dogs are adorable and your studios are so magical and glittery.....love glitz and sparkle........thanks for showing and sharing your techniques........really great of you to do that............pat
I Love your tutorial!!!
TY
Sooooo beautiful!!!!! I miss you and your work so much!!❤❤
Fabulous take on the tear away technique. Love the beads.

I LOVE these. I bought a pasta machine a couple of months ago with only 7 settings, 7 being the thickest. It's been tricky to get similar thicknesses of clay. So my hubby bought me an Atlas 150 in sapphire blue! 9 settings..now same settings as yours😁😁 I'm so excited...it arrived today. I can't wait to get cranking! 😂 I call them "Happy accidents" 😁
Omg ! A blue one how cool ( im jealous lol)mine is 20 years old so it's a really good investment
These are beautiful ❤️
TY
I think I have watched at least 100 hours of just your videos (true story) in the last 3 weeks. I have tried clay and kept getting disappointed. You explain everything in amazing detail. So needless to say$400 or $500 later I’m ready to try it again. lol. Shhhhh.....don’t tell my hubby. The videos are truly a pleasure to watch for these reasons:
1.) your style (love everything you make).
2.) you are a very great teacher. You explain everything in fabulous detail.
3.) your videos are very well organized.
4.) the show and tell at the end to show the different color combos and uses are them best!
5.) that puppy of your...just too cute...I really get a kick out of the snorts and snores.
I had to run to tell you. To brag and happy dance a little actually. lol.. my best ever wonderful friend came over early this evening while I was playing around making some beads. She brought her 15 yo daughter who has a birthday coming up. They fell in love with the polymer clay beads I was making (these ones!) . I showed them the Shibori necklace I'd made following your tutorial. She says, the daughter that is, omg I want a headband like your necklace! I pulled out my stash of Shibori ribbon and we, all 3 of us, went to town. That kid is a natural with polymer clay. Wowza! She caught on in record speed and was off and running. I brought my laptop in and set her up with your channel of tutorials. 6 hours later and very late at night they've gone home.. with 3 headbands and a pile of jewelry & beads they made. The headbands are drop dead gorgeous! Truly a spectacular use for the Shibori style. We added all kinda of tiny beads, some pearls and some tiny beads she, the daughter, made. I have no idea how she managed to make such tiny beads but she did it. I burned the 1st batch sadly. The 2nd batch I watched much much more closely. So now I'm putting in a fast order for lots more clay because we're planning to get together to do a 2 week long polymer bead camp during my vaca. How much fun is that?!! I owe all this fun and goodness that's a BIG part of my life to you. Truly, to you. When I watched my first ever TH-cam video on polymer clay it was one of yours and I was hooked instantly. You took the "perfection" element out ( I would have gotten way to fussy and ruined the fun except you kept saying not to during your videos) and made it something fun rather than stressful. I learned the perfection & beauty comes from being organic, serendipitous and imperfect! So again, thank you.. from the bottom of my heart, the biggest thank you possible.
Oh what a wonderful story , thank so much for sharing your so kind . I love to think I inspire people to be creative makes me feel wealthy !
Lucky girl , I wish I were there too . That girl will always remember that evening as a highlight I. Her teenage years spending time amongst women getting along and is a really important life experience . So often girls don't get the time given to them just to commune with one another . You did a lovely thing sharing your goodies with a young girl. By the way are you aware that you have 182,636 subscribers .
Beautiful!

I credit Susan/TSB channel for turning me into a polyclay junkie! All my disposable income and free time goes into practicing clay...I started a year ago and gave up swearing that one day I would at least try and become familiar with the basics...then I heard these brilliant gems of wisdom (paraphrased) "if it's not perfect, don't worry about it...It's only clay! What's the worse that can happen? Scrap clay/bead filler... It's okay if you make a mistake, the polymer clay police are not allowed in your studio!!!!"
Susan if you ever read this, I just wanna let you know I'm about three months back into polymer clay and I've practised nearly every day and I'm getting better and my goal is to really become a true blue polymer clay jewelry artiste!!! God bless you, Madame, you're the best thing that ever happened to turn this former polyclay flunkie into a polyclay junkie!!!
They are beautiful!
And I love your „don’t worry“ attitude. I need more of that, so I always like to hear it said from someone who‘s work is so beautiful despite (or probably because) of that attitude.
TY I view clay as cheap therapy and if your relaxed and having fun it comes through in your work
TurtleSoup Beads
Surely that is true!
Love all of those gorgeous beads so much!! ....Awww your adorable little fur baby 💙 ... such a sweetheart 💙 .... one of my boys went over the rainbow bridge last week 😢 rescued him and his Brother when they were just 5 weeks old....(now 17 yrs old)....the 3 of us have never been parted before...boy it's tough!! ....
Oh so sorry , I never get over losing a fur baby they become such a big part of our lives
Beautiful Beads. Love your video. ❤️❤️❤️
Oh OH - heading down to my workshop!
And I also love “show and tell” with the Princess Abu finale. Thank you, Susan.
You just amaze me with your creativity and your skill. You make me want to try clay again!!
That means you have clay ! It's just sitting there waiting to be loved again lol happy claying !
You are so good at this.
Watched this video again because I forgot I had already seen it. It was just as beautiful the second time.
i love that idea.......honestly my eyes just popped out just looking at the different verity of beads in that tray......lol.....that is really a true treasure......
Very nice. I do like the way you finish your pieces. Your dog is so patient. We lost our Pit bull, Vixen to cancer last July, but it was so funny to see her and my granddaughter play around with nail polish. Jackie would get out the bottle and Vixen would sit right down for her manicure 💅. Thanks for sharing and happy claying.
So sorry about your pit I had one and he was fascinated with Abu used to sleep on her bed so she would bite him , I miss him too they never last long enough
I know that this is an old video, but I just had to tell you how beautiful all your beads are! A great watch - Thank you! 💕

Your beads are so lovely!
Lovely and really simple
Beautiful as always! Love the “makeover” on your pup lol
adult children lol
Thoroughly enjoyed the tutorial! Thank you for allowing the camera to REALLY focus on the small details. As the video came to the end, I realized this was like a Marvel movie, with a surprise after everything else is done and the credits have rolled.
I absolutely love your tutorials. You are such an excellent teacher! I never worked with polymer clay before. You've inspired me! My Premo clay and pasta machine arrive tomorrow. I can't wait to play.
your going to have so much fun!
It's gorgeous I enjoyed and happy to have a necklace with these beads
I love learning from you!
I was quietly watching this in the wee hours , until the end when I snorted really loudly with laughter at your dog. 😂
You are the greatest I have just gotten an interest in polymer clay beads
Same here. Poor baby! What did your Mom do to you?
Just when I think there could not possibly be another technique, you show a new one. Love the simplicity of this technique. Thanks again for the time you take to show us all the wonderful things that we can do with clay.
The best polymer tutor of 2018 and probably of 2019 too! Great tutorial Susan!
Oh thank you , your so kind !
I concur
The best polymer ARTIST and tutor!
Really enjoyed watching your videos, have learned so much. I want to have a go now but need to get to bed as it's nearly midnight here in the UK. Thank you so much.
Loved your tut. Dry pretty. Love your little pooch too.❤️
Thank you so much. I feel so inspired. The jewelry you showed at the end was breathtaking.
Thank you , your so kind
This seems like what people are getting when they do the watercolor technique recently ,very similar results.Yours are just beautiful!
Yes very similar results just different technique
I have to admit that the show and tell must be my favourite part of the video. It’s something about seeing all those pretty colours and different type of beads that get me all exited! I could watch it for days lol
Wow they are beautiful. So many out of that piece of clay. Love them.
Your puppy girl has a good make-up artist:) So cute :)))
My adult children are home being silly I thought it was a funny surprise
@@TurtleSoupBeads Very nice surprise. More often such surprises. I like them very much. I apologize for my imperfect English. Happy New Year for You Susan and loved ones. Greetings.
@@krystynasanecka6612 your English is very good , Happy New Year !
Beautiful work of course
Wow your tutorial is simply amazing . Thanks for sharing
I enjoy the randomness, and yet the cohesion. I really like the teardrop shapes.
Fantastic I love tham all xx but your dog gave me a chuckle 🤭
Those are beautiful
Wow! Another beautiful idea for beads. Have to try it! Ahh, Princess Abu you are beautiful!
wonderful, clear, exciting presentation! thank you
Love watching your videos, thank you for sharing your awesome talents...fabulous!
The makeover on puppers killed me! Thank you for another great tutorial!
Such a pretty clever little bead.
I love your videos I love it that you don't sweat the small stuff and you make it fun
So beautiful. Love you use of leaf in your creations. With these beads I think I really like the black background, but that's my taste. xoxo
You are an excellent instructor. Thanks
So unique I've never seen polymer clay beads like this
I have only just taken up this art once more, as I was never very good at it at all .... You have given me so much inspiration , that now I want to learn from you, thank you
You can do it!
Your dog at the end ! HA HA HA HA HA !!! I needed that smile today ... THANK YOU !
Beautiful ! Thank You for new idea again . Looks like Miss Button Eyes visited mom's makeup bag . She is such a darling and she makes me very happy and smiley every time I see her .
I haven't seen this technique before. This is lovely! You are a great teacher.
Abu looks so cute with her “eye Boos”.
Love these beads Susan. You do beautiful work
Thank you so much
I've done two sets of these so far, and not only are they fun, but the only abundance of clay I've used is scrap clay! This one is definitely worth a try!
Todos tus trabajos son hermosos y fáciles de seguir. Gracias
Fabulous, as always! Thank you!
I love your videos, Susan.
Wow so pretty, tfs
I love your work and you are so prolific! Thank you :)
I really CANNOT understand the people who give their thumb down😳 ! I really love what you create!
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing❤️
Sweet dog! Love the beads!
I love love love these. Will be making some! Great videos!
Hi Susan, I love your fantastic ideas. Thank you very much.
So I woke up to find this amazing video & called in sick so I can have a day off to feed my clay addiction.. lol..seriously, these are absolutely beautiful & I'm looking forward to having a day off to try them. I enjoy your videos so much! You are amazingly gifted. Thank you for taking the time & effort to share! Hugs to the adorable Princess & her 2019 glam.. (I almost spit my coffee when she popped up).. ❤
Thanks for sharing your amazing work 🐶💌
Lovely beads. You always make the process seem so clear and doable. Sharing the oops and how to make everything useable instills confidence. Thank you for always including your furbaby at the end. As I viewed this video I was drinking hot tea. I was not prepared for the Glamour Shot! Due to the element of total surprise I literally sprayed hot tea across my desk. I appreciate a totally unexpected belly-laugh, especially when it includes an aDOGdorable furbaby!
No matter how many times I watch a video, I thoroughly enjoy it and learn something new that I didn't notice before. Each tutorial has so many layers of information. Thanks for sharing your talent and many years of experience!
So easy and yet gorgeous! You’re so inspiring Susan. Thank you!
These beads and the jewelry you made with them are absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Lovely work, I am just dying to try this
So beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
OMG! Another winner! I am going to try this with some veneers that I have already made and see what happens! Thank you again for sharing your talents with us!
Your puppy at the end so cute. I had a dog who would pester me while painting. Lol he was all black. He stopped when i painted him once.
my little pup and I are inseparable
Wow! Gorgeous!! What an amazing way to use up the to much muddy clay in my collection for the core of these beads. Love love the teardrop beads!
I need to do a tutorial stringing those so many ideas !
You make things look so easy !! I wish 🙏🏻 Excellent as usual
This one is super simple
OMG lolololololol your pup is so very cute! This is a GREAT video, but I must say the pup makes it so very, very nice. Thanks for making your videos I’m really learning a lot. My beads are looking better every week and you’re the reason.
Thanks
LOVE the pastel beads - reminds me of Easter!! Around the 11:30 mark, before you made them into teardrops, I thought they looked like mini roses!! VERY much enjoyed watching this video!!!
I have to say that I loved the unevenness of the pastel color blend you made. It made me think of watercolors. I hope I can reproduce it. You seem to have a natural instinct when it comes to color.. I’m always inspired by your videos to try something new. Thank you!!
Although I absolutely adore your creations as well as the way you explain everything I can't help looking forward to the last frame. Love your makeup Dahling!!! LOL LOL LOL!!!
Great video. I love how Princess did her makeup, it was stunning. : )
*J’adore ! Bravo 👏🏽👌🏽*
this might be my favorite video yet! So simple, yet so dramatic and beautiful finished products. Thank you Susan
Beautiful 😍!! Thank you 😊. ❤
I've watched all your tutorials and wondered how you find the time to make your own beautiful beads and then create these one-of-a-kind, handcrafted and beaded original pieces of jewelry! I think I've figured it out... you never sleep, do you? Seriously, you do inspire my work and give me wonderful ideas to stretch my comfort zone. Thanks, Susan!
So pretty!
I LOVED this so much I made them it turned out wonderful I could watch you all day I love you. Xx you are the best teacher
Thank you
Lovely, lovely, lovely❣️ And your beads are beautiful too
Oh my Lord!! These are amazing!! There is going to be a lot of collaging going on here! Your Princess doesn't look too happy about her makeover *hangs her head in disdain*. Thanks for the great tutorial 😍😍
No she hates the camera , thinks it's scary
I love your tutorials. The passion you have for your work is so contagious! That dog cracks me up! I enjoy hearing the snores. It's so funny!
