@@andreadea9809 thank you so much,❤️

@@user-ey8lx7ij4r unfortunately everything cost a fortune to ship to Europe some of that is Europe’s fault but in any case she used to live in Thailand, that’s why she shipped from there now she lives in Canada so you can order from the website, but I don’t know if that’s much more help. it cost a fortune to ship within Europe to other European countries and from there to here also, but if he ever has a friend visiting from Canada have them order it and bring it to you, i’m it’s still a mystery to most people why China can ship things from China to the US for 30 and $.40 in bulk but we can’t do that for other countries all that cheap TEMU stuff the shipping is almost nothing

@@janmontarsi.-blendangles7960 you are totally right. !

Thank you so much for your kindness and support ❤️

@@joyceparkes7551 thank you I really want to get back to techniques with my templates, but I’m sure you know how life gets in the way and things get pushed down on your to do list but I am working on more. I want to do some complete projects with them.

@@NatureScapesStudio did you see the intro to my earring? Video it’s the dogs barking, and then a door slamming, which happens quite often at my house when I’m trying to make videos.

Great idea! are there any in particular in the video that you want to learn because they’re all basically the same if you look at the part of the video where I have the different striped sheets of clay you can pretty much tell from the colors of clay. I use how I lined up the clay and for such a small item as earrings you just want to use thin strips of clay of each color and then blend them a little bit, for most people the colors will overlap and blend nicely just because of how handmade works. Just remember, don’t put two colors next to each other that will make a muddy color , like orange, which is red and yellow next to purple, which has blue in it when mix will make a brown muddy color , Stay in the order of the color wheel. Or put white or pearl between colors that you don’t want to overlap.

@@janmontarsi.-blendangles7960 I was refering to the kaleidoscope canes which come into view at around 1:25:38 the part that begins with Cane Slice EArrings- I really love those canes that you are slicing from. I think they are kaleidoscope canes. I wondered if you might teach us how to make those canes: the one with blues and greens and whites. Just love that cane...I was just wondering about that. I love the striped cane system...and yes, definitely important to put the right colors side by side. Thanky you again so very much for your generous shares and teaching. Loving it.

@@user-pe8cu1vs6d that is a class that I teach right now in person only at Polymer Clay retreats and workshops. It really is a 2 to 3 day workshop , if you’ve never made Kaleidoscope canes I recommend a good place to start is with Fiona Abel Smith videos while I work differently than she does to create my canes basic process steps are a great place to start aside from her designs that are also different than mine but quite beautiful

@@janmontarsi.-blendangles7960 Thank you very much.

@@carolinehatch7209 most welcome. I just hope to see some results out in social media. People struggle so much. Hopefully they find my videos and can build some technical skills and grow beyond chop marble earrings.

@@carolinehatch7209 multiple furnishings at different points in the whole process actually accumulate to have a really nice surface. Releasing your paper and putting it back down or getting a new paper also helps once the clay is smooth and it’s stuck to the paper there’s tension and it really won’t do much more unless you release the paper and put it back down,burnishing a lot through the whole process

@@ginalombardi2507 I’m glad you liked it. I hope to have some more videos coming out soon. Feel free to ask questions here on my Facebook if you ever need help.

@@debbeechy I’m working on them

@@joyceparkes7551 I used to have a tutorial on Sculpey but it disappeared of how to set a cabochon that’s hollow, like the one in this tutorial into a framed bezel , but somewhere over the years it disappeared so I guess at some point I will remake a video form

@@heyalicia2551 thanks so much. Some of them are kind of long but they’re packed with 20 years of making all the mistakes and figuring out what works best so that other people don’t have to.

@@annastellarossi4749 you art most welcome !

@@MisKandi that cane is from an in person workshop that I teach. Usually as a 2 to 3 day class, but I will tell you this I use one color of blue like ultramarine, and maybe a tiny bit of turquoise and fuchsia clay, and made different blends with white. To make all the components to push into the cane shape. kaleidoscope canning is much more involved. but I would recommend watching Fiona Abel Smith videos as far as the kaleidoscope process she makes it look so easy and simple and it can be. It’s just how involved you make each component that you’re going to add to your cane I believe in all my blends I had at least a tiny bit of fuchsia, even if they were blue blends

@@janmontarsi.-blendangles7960 WOW! Thank you so much for this advice. I love @fionaablesmith and cannot wait to try some of these ideas. You rock!

@@christinevarey6898 you are most welcome

well, you want to incorporate the thoughts smooth into the clay so that it’s all one sheet you could leave them raised furnishing also per the surface. If you look at most of my earrings that aren’t textured they are perfectly smooth the more times you burnish at different stages in the process, the perfect your surface will be nothing messes up the surface more than moving your clay around while it’s raw. The minute you scrape it up with your blade off your worksurface to put it on a tile you wrinkle the entire surface of the clay. That is why Burnished before I cut my clay earrings and usually after, but always on the tile I’m going to bake at so I don’t have to move the pieces

@@madelinedaigle7598 thank you that pair is made from the kaleidoscope came the one that I reshaped for longer earrings later in the video
