I am very glad it was helpful, thanks so much, and have fun on your clay journey 🙂

That is wonderful, thanks so much for telling me, and I am so happy you are enjoying your polymer clay - fantastic - keep having fun, and thanks again 🙂

I'm glad it was useful, thank you 🙂

I make my own complex butterfly canes, and have two butterfly tutorials in my Etsy shop PolyOriginals - link in details below the video - but I have stayed away from a Monarch Butterfly as it has been done by lots of other polymer clay artists and there are KZbin videos to show how to make one if you search , thank you 🙂

Thank you very much 🙂

Thanks so much, I have shared photos on social media of my workstation/room, but it's a few years back now, may have to repost the videos. I am so glad you are part of the guild, and the group that meet in Diss are lovely, and you'd have a great time. Is there a friend who could go with you the first time to make it easier for you? I understand what you mean about the anxiety issue, and am lucky enough to have a wonderful group of friends who are very supportive of me, so maybe someone near you could help out, at least for the first time, so you could see if it's something you'd then like to do again. You can always 'chat' to the group leader of the group on Facebook as well, as there may be someone nearer to you who goes to the group who you could get a lift with half way perhaps? We have a number of people who come to our group who share cars as one can do the journey, one cant etc. Hoping you manage to get to a meeting and have a fabulous time there. 🤞🤞🙂

Thanks so much - and the paint creates thin white lines between the polymer clay elements :)

Thanks so much 🙂

Yay well spotted, I hadn't seen that myself yet, so thanks so much. It takes me a while to get subscribers as my long step by step tuts are not for everyone, but it's more important to me that people can follow the videos easily than to get loads of followers - but I'm still very happy to have reached 50k 😉🙃🙂

Yes I realise that showing and sharing with people is more important to you than subs, but it is a nice added bonus😃. Have a good weekend🤗

@@mrsmiggins6435 It definitley is a nice bonus, and thanks again for spotting it 😍🙂🙏🙏

I'm so glad, have fun making some, thank you 🙂

La mayoría de mis tutoriales, incluido este, pueden tener subtítulos en otros idiomas para todo lo que digo. Haga clic en el botón 'configuración' en la parte inferior del video de KZbin, (pequeño engranaje redondo) luego haga clic en 'subtítulos', haga clic en 'español generado automáticamente', luego elija la opción 'traducción automática' y elija su idioma. A continuación, puede obtener el video completo en subtítulos traducidos :) Espero que eso ayude. Muchas gracias 🙂

I'm so glad it was helpful, thank you 🙂

I get asked about which Pasta Machine I use a lot, so here is the reply I give - I hope it helps 🙂The pasta machine I use is an Atlas machine, at home I use the 180 (a wider machine) and when travelling or on workshops, I use the 150. I have always used the Atlas machines and I find them very good for Polymer Clay. However, there are other very good makes, such as the Imperia machines, and of course those made specifically for use with Polymer Clay. Ginger Davis Allman, from The Blue Bottle Tree has a number of articles on Pasta Machines - thebluebottletree.com/?s=pasta+machines which may prove helpful in choosing a machine. Here is a link to an Atlas machine, (for reference only, as obviously there are many other places both online, and in stores where they can be found), and it is worth searching around till you can find a good deal on one. I hope that is of some help. www.amazon.com/Marcato-8320-Machine-Cutter-Instructions/dp/B0009U5OSO/ref=sr_1_3?crid=BPH5K7P26RQT&keywords=atlas+pasta+machine&qid=1556786279&s=gateway&sprefix=atlas+pasta+machine%2Caps%2C211&sr=8-3

That's a lovely idea, thanks so much 🙂

Wonderful, thanks so much 🙂

Wonderful, and yes we did Limo cutting at school too 🙂

I am so glad you are enjoying the videos and are having fun collecting all the tools you need. As to colours, I tend towards brighter hues for most of my work, but everyone has their own colour choices, which is why I often give other colour options in my videos. I have various soucres for buying polymer clay, but am also a member of the British Polymer Clay Guild, who have a list of UK suppliers, some of which give discounts to guild members, which is a bonus too. I hope that helps. and wish you a great Bank Holiday weekend too. 🙂

Yes I've been looking on the website and will be joining as soon as I get my wages through on 29th lol.

@@mrsmiggins6435 That would be lovely if you het a chance to join, when you do, make sure you join the members only facebook group and then ask on there where peoaple get their clay from, and what deals are around at the time etc . It's also a great place to ask questions for any info/help you may want or need 🙂

well spotted, and yes it becomes an automatic thing to do after a while, thank you 🙂

you're welcome, thanks so much 🙂

Thanks so much - you too 🙂

Don't be too hard on yourself, you are probably doing much better than you think - we are all our own worst critics. Reducing canes is something that takes time to learn how to do effectively and easily. Try to be even with your prressure along the length, apply the same pressure each time you rotate, and probably press in less hard than you are at the moment. It's more of a persuasion, than a hard press 😉 and if you have some spare scrap clay, then make that into a square or triangle shape and practice, practice, practice, using that first, till you start to get a feel for the pressure and rhythm you need. You will get there, we all did, and we all had to learn the same way. And yes, absolutley celeberate away when it suddenly goes right for you. I hope that helps a bit and lets you know we've all been there when we were learing 🙃🙂

You're welcome, glad you're enjoying them, thank you 😌

So glad it was useful, thanks very much 🙂

I am so glad you like them, thank you very much 🙂

Wonderful, thanks so much Brenda 🙂

Muchas gracias 🙂

I am so glad you like it, and if you follow thorugh slowly, step by step it is relatively simple, thank you 🙂

Thank you very much 🙂

Wonderful, thanks so much 🙂

Sorry Donna, I am not quite sure what you are asking? I do show in the video the slices I take, and mention that people should take slices that they feel comforatble with - there is no set size for the thickness of the earrings, it depends on what the individula wants, I hope that helps? Thank you 🙂

Wonderful, have fun and thank you 🙂

wonderful, and I hope you have fun making some of your own. Thank you 🙂

Thanks very much. The bees are incredibly fiddly to make, so I would need to refine the process in places to make them easier. I will see what I can do, but it will be a while as I have a lot on my plate at the moment. 🙂

brilliant 🙂

That's great, where did you get it from? 👍🙂

I just noticed the marbles or ball bearings inside , perhaps helping the puzzle with moving.

@@willsshepherd2976 That sounds facinating, and yes there are so many different variations that can be achieved with the shapes - have fun with your new ones 🙂
