Polymer Clay Bead Caps

OK, all of you polymer clay artists that have been procrastinating about signing up for Cindy Lietz' weekly video tutorials, now is the time to do it.  Here is a preview of how to make polymer clay bead caps that you can view now, and the full video will be posted on Friday for members.  Won't you join us?

Cindy Lietz Art Sheet and UV Resin Technique

Cindy Lietz, the Polymer Clay Tutor, scored another hit as far as I am concerned.  Her latest video tutorial involves making your own Polymer Clay "Art Sheet", decorating with alcohol inks, stamps, glitter, acrylic paint and whatever else you want to put on your sheet of clay.  You can then use this sheet for dozens of projects.    Click on the links for a  preview of the Art Sheet and UV Resin techniques to see if you might want to sign up to get her videos on a weekly basis.  Under $3 a month for a lot of information.

Below is my take on the "Art Sheet".  I added words from a letter stamp, alcohol ink, glitters, another leaf stamp and then made a pendant, earrings and some beads from this sheet.  I coated the pendant and earrings with
 UV Resin

Photo Light Tent

Woo Hoo!  I just received my new Photo Light Tent.  I plan on posting only the most professional pictures of my jewelry now. :-)

Still making Bangle Bracelets

More Polymer Clay bangle bracelets in my collection.  Both of these patterns used on my bracelets were made using the Blend and Switch technique provided by Cindy Lietz in her video tutorials.  You too can receive these videos for about $3.31 a month.  Follow the link to the Blend and Switch technique to sign up now!

Cindy Lietz Blend and Switch Technique

My daughter-in-law requested that I make her something in Sage green and Plum colors, so I followed the color mix from Cindy Lietz for Autumn green and Eggplant and added some Ecru to highlight it.  This is the
 blend and switch technique from Cindy Lietz' video tutorials, and I made some bangle bracelets using this technique.  Here they are.

Animal Print Cane Polymer Clay Bangle Bracelet

Decided to try more Animal print polymer clay canes for my bangle bracelets.  I used the video tutorials from Cindy Lietz.  Locate a preview for the Leopard cane here, and the Zebra cane here.

Faux bone/ivory technique used on Bangle Bracelets

I just returned from a beautiful trip to the Glacier National Park, and now I'm rested and ready to start claying again.  I am in love with bangle bracelets at the moment, so thought I would try a faux bone/ivory technique that Cindy Lietz presented in her Friday video tutorials.  Here are two bracelets that I made using her technique.  I'm happy with my first attempt, and will be trying more of these.

Off on Vacation

I won't be posting until next week as I'm off for a little R & R in the beautiful state of Montana.  We will be touring Glacier National Park.  Hope you all have a great week!

Blend and Switch Technique from Cindy Lietz

These are the finished earrings from the forms I made using the Blend and Switch technique taught by Cindy Lietz.  All sanded and buffed to bring out the highlights.  The patterns and colors that you create are amazing and so much fun.  Also, these earrings are light as a feather to wear.

 Hop on over to Cindy's blog to sign up for her weekly video classes.  You won't regret it.
