    Finally someone who realises that many of us are simply lonely, even though we craft. So many crafters whose friended aren't crafters, simply don't understand that crafters spend so many hours alone, doing their craft. Love you new concept of craft and talk.

    I love this Craft & Chat idea Susan! Your tutorials are great, but just watching your process & hearing your thoughts is really great too. It’s oddly calming to hear the tone of your voice as you calmly & confidently work away.
    I don’t own any beads and I tried polymer before I got bored. I’m still here with you tho, not because of how talented you are teaching tutorials, but because of your demeanor, personality & outlook on life, not just beads & clay. ♥️

    I found you through the polymer clay, and that's my 'thing'. I love your tutorials, but I think I like this new format even better! I value your frugality, and the using recycling, or scraps from other projects. Also, I have learned so much from you about not letting perfectionism petrifying me, and steal my joy in crafting. In this format, I appreciate seeing the challenges as they appear, and your solutions.

    I actually Like the craft and chat a lot! Maybe even more than the tutorials (which I love).
    I like to watch or have your tutorials in the background while I'm crafting, and it's nice to be able to listen and glance up at the monitor while I'm doing my thing.
    I hope you do more like this.

    I actually prefer this kind of video to edited tutorials. It shows the process of coming up with a design and shows where you go wrong and how you fix your mistakes. It also shows more timid beaders/beginners, that not everything you do, comes out perfectly the first time around and gives them confidence to try new things of their own.

    I love this. If making tutorials takes too much work then please make more of these kinds of videos. You could do each step, and when one step takes too long, like baking,rolling out the clay to make a skinner blend, then just shut off the camera and then start filming again when done. I don't think anyone who watches you would mind longer videos like these.

    I tend to let not getting things perfect, steal my joy as well as my mojo. Thank you so much for sharing. I know, I know.... You have been preaching this theme from the very beginning. I tend to be a slow learner. It is hard to let go of the drive for perfection. Your embrace of serendipity has helped me a lot (when not driving me crazy wishing for exact measurements, lol). The beauty of your work speaks for itself. The ease of your tutorials, and the craft and chat was just a more relaxed tutorial, builds confidence with each new success. Thank you so much for investing in perfect strangers.

    I found your videos about a month ago. I love polymer clay and beads. Grannie taught me beading when I was 8 years old. I made bunches of little flowers, with leaves and stems. I progressed from flowers to jewelry by the time I was 13. I sold my wares at school, to classmates and teachers.
    I've used polymer clay for lots of things other than jewelry. You however, have changed my thoughts on that. I always wondered how to make beautiful beads with polymer clay. Now I know because of your brilliance, and imagination.
    I know exactly what you are talking about when it comes to buying beads. My family calls me the "beadaphile". I buy beads wherever I see them. And, like you, I have cheap beads all the way to expensive beads. I can't pass up buying beads. I also have a large amount of vintage costume jewelry that I use in my jewelry making.
    I love that you tell us that it doesn't matter if your techniques aren't the way an expert would do them. It's the end result that counts. I taught art to children for many years, I gave them general instruction and let them loose to create. I told them, "There are no mistakes in art. You are the creator. Just change it a bit to make it what you want."
    I know this is a long winded comment. I so much appreciate your videos. You have given me new breath to create beauty. Thank you !

Now at near 82 years and still going strong I am finding a deep interest in the beading and polymer clay. Your videos are the most inspiring and your honesty, I always felt intimidated by others, but I find yours a breath of fresh air. You are blessed and you are a blessing. Thank you,

    I enjoy your bead & chat. It feels like sitting in a bead group, each of us working on our own thing. I enjoy hearing tidbits about your past beading experiences. I have loved beads for a long time. I love to buy beads, and I love to make beads, and I love to make things with beads. I do really like the versatility of polymer clay, and all the things you can do with it, but I think I'd give it up before I gave up the beads. I have quite a collection of beads from the past 28 years, and I couldn't give them up. In fact, I often don't want to use some of my favorite beads because I want to have my beads and use them too. Making something with them is so final. Love all your tutorials. Thank you so much for doing them.

    Tough decision, beads or clay. Reluctantly clay, as you can always bead with just beads, though I use a lot of clay in my cabochons and those lovely little flowers. Thank you so much for sharing Susan, and this new idea is wonderful!

    I like the chat and craft idea..... because it can get boring and difficult on the viewing side too. One thing I find hard is to never see the artist producing the videos. Some like to show us only their hands...one in England makes spectacular work, and I have no idea even what she looks like! For this reason, I love to see you and your studio tours.
    Your tutorials have become a part of my life. I know what you mean by hearing people decry what makes you happy. I give riding lessons on very large and special donkeys that I keep. I've helped at least 8 children have a great experience with a trustworthy animal, and I love helping people ride, especially children. I don't know why I love the donkeys and kids as I do....I just do. I also love polymer clay and jewelry making, and use it to relax from the physical fatigue of farm work.
    I've learned a lot from you, and I'm grateful you make tutorials.... when your name pops up on my screen with a new video, I watch it immediately.
    Maybe each of us works in solitude....I know I have to... however because of people like you on TH-cam, I do not feel lonely. I call it TH-cam University... I'm always going to school! You are my respected teacher!

    I love this format. I bead a lot mostly from patterns. It’s the creative process that I have trouble with. I use to do clay with my mom when it first came on the market. Now that she is gone, I have all her supplies. I need to get back into it. Thanks to you I think I will. So glad I found you!

    I love the way you're doing this tutorial which it is but it's instantaneous tutorial so we get your highs and your lows and it's fun to listen to you and watch how you decide what to do and thanks for doing this! I'm thinking if you keep doing them this way you won't have to make as much jewelry or make as many tutorials

    I don't know how I missed this video. You are a natural teacher in beading and in clay. No matter how you make up your videos they are great with lots of hints and how tos. Thanks so much. I know what you mean about Florida internet. I'm in Hollywood and we have the same. By the way, you can never have too many beads. Thanks for the tip on clear beads.

    I love the craft and chat format. I watch many videos and because they are perfectly edited, if you make a mistake or run into an issue those videos don’t tell you what you can do to fix it. Also, beading is and will always be my first love and I’m also a bead hoarder - I just can’t get enough of them! I too miss the bead shows. I’m still kicking myself for not going to the last bead show that came around back in February. I figured I would just go to the next one in April. Little did I know...

    I love watching you work and hearing your reasoning out loud as you work. You have a soothing voice and kindness about you. I have always appreciated your willingness to share. People who don’t craft don’t really understand the time involved. Even when doing similar projects, no two will be perfectly the same. That is the point of handcrafted items. It’s also why people expect things for Walmart prices. They have no concept of the time and love involved.

    I've always enjoyed your videos and the chatty ones are even better! All the techniques you used are available to us to review on your other videos. I think this is a great way to supplement your channel with videos you enjoy making. We get new videos, and you have the fun of doing without all the editing! It's a win/win situation. I like it!

    these are stunning they look like Michal Negrin Jewelry and Israeli designer or Ayala Bar..You are such a talented artist and I would add that you have such a charismatic warm as sunshine personality....with a heart of gold it is very noble for you to inspire others and share your many talents with others....It is like you are sharing the cathartic joy making jewelry /beads brings you...not to mention an income..I have been watching your videos for years and I just wanted to thank you. I became wheelchair-bound and your videos inspire me to create really helped me cope , learning to occupy my time and thoughts on something positive which has been life-changing!

    Totally loving this craft and chat format. I love clay. I love beads. I love yarn sand thread and fabric and paint and markers and color and...i could go on and on. Im like a Maggie when it comes to colorful or sparkly things. It makes me feel so good to know I'm not alone.
    Thank you so much for all the time and energy and creative juices you put in. You inspire me!!

    I have been watching your videos for months and I am hooked on learning from you. I do not even watch regular tv any more I would rather watch TH-cam videos at least I learn something new and fun to make. You are such an inspiration to my crafting and I loved how you did this video. Thanks so much for sharing.

  • @PanicLedisko

    Awww I absolutely live for your stop motion intro, I will watch it so many times because every time I watch it I notice something new. You can really tell you love it because the amount of detail you put into everyone, it's so special. Ever since I was a kid I've always loved stop motion, it always means a lot to me because I know how much work goes into making just a couple seconds.
    I've been binging a lot of your videos and I've been wanting to make a comment about this, but I figured since a lot the videos I was watching were older ones and really older ones you prolly wouldn't see it. I've been wanting to say you cut out a lot of your talking when I really enjoy listening to your perspective on design choices and colours and whatever. I could listen to a whole hour long video of you talking, no music or silence, a lot of times I feel like you'll cut yourself off and put music over top of yourself. I'm going to look forward to the many more bead alongs, maybe in the future you could do stre-- awww I just caught the part of the video where you said you wouldn't feel comfortable doing them. I totally understand, doing live is very nerve wracking I don't blame you!

  • @dragonfly5220
    @dragonfly5220 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Honestly Susan, I found you because of polymer clay, I love that a piece of jewelry made with polymer clay is truly an art piece from start to finish. I see other jewelry made of real stones and gold and silver and to me it is just someone putting things together while making a polymer clay piece is creating every single aspect of that piece. So I to me the purchased beads, although beautiful are secondary. When I see your finish pieces I see the polymer clay as the crown jewel. Now the best reason I get so excited when I see you have a new video is Princess Abu.. love, love her! Thanks for all the videos you have created, I have watched some 10 or more times and each time I learn something new!

    I love this format, it's so helpful to hear your thought process and see solutions to problems. It doesn't matter how much your subscribers love your videos if you aren't getting any pleasure from the process yourself. I love the tip about colouring clear beads with coloured thread. Thank you Susan

    My first love is polymer clay and complex caning. You have introduced me to beadwork as another way to use my clay creations. I buy beads to use with my clay items. I've really gotten into making clay beads because of you, so I am a "clay" girl who now beads. Can't ever thank you enough! Regards, Margaret in the Pacific Wonderland. ~~~^..^

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the work you do... I know there are many out there like me that so appreciate you sharing your knowledge n creativity... until the next video... blessings

    For many of us, crafting is solitary and can sometimes be lonely. This is a great video, with the craft and chat :) I love that you are so generous with your teaching; it helps me remember that I can allow myself to try different things, which makes me more creative, in the long run. So, thank you!
