Hi Susan, I could watch you all day, everyday. What you do with this polymer clay, amazes me. Thankyou once again for a wonderful tutorial.

[@viji2450]

I'm doing the same now, don't know how I ended up watching continuously but couldn't stop watching 😍

[@lisasmarvellouscreations]

Me too I've been binge watching every minute of the day !! It's even playing on my TV all night !! I think I've watched around every episode 10 times but the caning beads and embroidery I've watched over 30 times each ... I'm now ready to make my leaf and the different flowers and start to make a cha cha bracelet... I love this KZbin channel ❤

[@persesrathert8324]

I am so not caught up with all of the videos you have made. I have always loved working with my hands. How I enjoy your inventiveness. Susan, how long have you been doing this? I suppose that would be telling. That's an expression I read in a book years and years ago and I like it. But honestly you make this look so easy when all I saw at the end was well, a mess. Then you put things together that even while you were at it I felt it was hopeless. Not you! And you were so right! You have made so many beautiful beads and I've already seen how you've added other components that turned into gorgeous jewelry. I am amazed, and a huge fan. I'm so grateful you have taken the time to make these videos so all of us may learn from you. But I haven't seen half of your videos, so it's going to take some playing, figuring, praying and a lot of surprises. I'm up for the challenge. But if it weren't for you and your generosity and can-do spirit I’d never dream so large. Thank you! Oh, I forgot your other channel is wonderful. One more thing, may I use my cooking stove to bake my beads or do I need to buy a special oven? If so do you have a recommendation? You may not see this as I forgot to take note of the date this video was made. This has brought me so much joy.

[@melissaphillis7247]

Oh my! Your mini me and Abu on a throne! Wow xxx I love your tutorials on the sample boxes....so clever! Ha ha ha, you'll be bathed in gold leaf! My favourites are the turquiose and brown Natasha's, they look like a tribal mask.

[@sandrastorey3586]

I've never seen beads so stunning

[@hazelblair6634]

it was so nice to see thats scraps have a good place in playing with clay. as a total beginner i just know i will have many many fails and nice to know that can be reused. hard to believe you got so much from that box of sample clay. Thank you so much for taking the time to make us these videos. i love them. xxx

[@jirup]

My chickens will be happy the video has finished... I was about to feed them when the video popped up, so had to make a coffee and watch you and your adorable little doggo.

[@stellagracia3913]

Strange, the same thing occurred to me. My chickens are happy now.

[@remainingembers]

First of all it's SO satisfying to watch you cut up the clay, and second, you make me really really itch to buy some clay to make beads and charms with lol.

[@Soapartisan875]

Wow all your clay beads are so stunningly gorgeous ❤❤❤❤

[@laurajones5784]

A gorgeous set of beads you are amazing

[@janetrobertshaw6487]

I love your intro with the pinky doll..❤❤❤❤❤

[@828burke]

My tip for lentils is that you're paying color *FROM* the edge *TO* the center. I frequently make lentils using scrap clay as a center, and I've noticed the center stays crisp but the edges blend with the base clay. This could be used to make a lentil that fades on the ends.

[@michellejaeandrews4799]

Very, very impressive!

[@interculturalme]

Thanks for your work! You are stimulating creativity like no other clay artist :-)

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Thank you

[@sherralieberry-majeski5972]

I really appreciate your sharing your gifts.

[@sharoncochran8508]

I was actually swirling lentil beads while watching this video. I cannot describe how satisfying that is. Thank you for reintroducing me to polymer clay!

[@gabrielleschmidt1435]

All of your ideas just boggles the mind! You are so good at explaining everything, I can't wait to play & see what I can do. 😻🐾

[@zoeemiko8149]

Your first video showing what you made with a Premo sampler was where I got my start.. on your recommendation. It quickly became my obsession. I made tons of jewelry my crafty friends fell in love with and wanted to know how to make. I sent them the link to your channel and now we're years into our weekly get togethers to watch your videos and work along with you. We're doing them virtually now but we've only missed one weekly get together in all this time. You're the queen Miss Pretty in Pink.

[@dragonfly5220]

Susan your videos are so creative, from your opening act, that Throne! Princess Abu by your side, your intro....then we get the clay demonstrations, your lentils are perfect, yes it will be around 100,000 before I get there ( that sure made me chuckle) I had never seen the lentils turned into round beads, they are my new favorite.....then your show and tell and lastly the moment I anxiously wait for Princess Abu saying good bye! Thank you Susan!!! Love, Love your videos!

[@bonniemeisezahl7225]

Susan you were my inspiration to start playing with polymer clay and making beads. When my Dad passed away last year I was staying with my Mom to help get the house in order to sell. In my down time I would watch your videos and got so excited. I told myself I was going to try this. When I got back home I bought some clay and some tools and started playing. I am now so hooked I now have tons of beads (or at least it feels like it) i have taken over my diningroom to do my beads. I tease my husband all the time that i need a She Shed. This has become my sanity check. I love watching your videos. You are a fantastic artist. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent!

[@renusrichhlooktrendz1411]

You have magical hands. God bless you

[@kathyjones274]

You are the wizard of the clay

[@janicetryon3259]

I just love your kids. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas.

[@imsodone4309]

I’m always amazed with your bead creations. They are just stunning!

[@journaljewelrybyjudee]

Happy Thanksgiving to us!! An entire 1 hour long video of pure joy! Thank you Susan!!

[@georginabuziak5110]

This was nothing short of AMAZING.....LOVED every minute and ALL of the gorgeous things you made!!!!! AWESOME Susan!!! TY!

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

You are so welcome!

[@cindyridinger8661]

Finally made all my beads from premo pack. Did use extra transparent and white. What an experience!!!

[@TeresaPandoraSalgado]

That little Pinky doll is worth the price of admission. Your wonderful content is a bonus.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Thanks !

[@christinevarey6898]

You amaze me.All these beads are beautiful.This really was a brilliant tutorial.Thankyou so much Susan.

[@shellybeals2806]

You really are the Queen of Clay Art 👑 💗👏🏻😊 Thank you a million times over Susan for all you do to inspire so many. I am thankful for you in 2020. You have made it so I can go to another world and forget all of what has been going on in this crazy world. Wishing you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving 😊

[@thejr9827]

I love this. Wow! Great video and tutorial Susan.

[@NJBrand]

Susan, I just want to echo what several have already said, I could watch you all day, every day - but I know that's not logistically possible because YOU have a life! BUT, I also just have to tell you, I absolutely love your little intros/stop motion intros of your videos. They bring me such joy to watch. Please know that they are much appreciated and I *know* they take a lot of time to do! They make me smile. Just had to let you know that too.

[@sisterkerry]

What an incredible idea. This video is packed with imagination and skill. Thank you.

[@clare9637]

Watching this again!! The throne is so pretty but the thing that made me smile the most was those cute pink shoes

[@maryzylema9699]

That blue with the yellow in the middle is amazing. I kept nodding off as you was making it. It's late not that your boring, I should be sleeping but that is so cool. I am going to rewatch this.🤗😁💖

[@amysantics4u818]

Love the velvet throne!

[@CeruleanWings]

I am such a big fan. A lot of my inspirations come from you. Thank you

[@kimpeltier5182]

You are amazing. I love your videos

[@LauraHickmanLauraHickman]

Wow! Excellent series of videos for the box of clay. Totally enjoyed it. Thanks so much.

[@anitahorn8279]

Love catching up with your creations! Have moved over to your new site, can't tell you how much I appreciate all you do. Thought you had retired, glad you haven't. You inspire so many. ✨ Anita in Texas 🫂 love ❤ your baby

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Oh thank you!

[@brendanelson9635]

Wonderful video. Thank you again for all the work you put into them. Loved the music too.

[@yvettepugin4035]

You are the queen of the Polymer Clay Bead. I am new to the medium and excited to see what beauties or messes I can come up with 😳😏. Thank you for the time spent to teach and your honesty about it not having to be perfect. Your beads are fabulous 💖💖

[@H4me7215]

I love your show. I am totally new here and am mesmerized on the beautiful bright colors that you have made...I think after watching thirty more times your videos I can figure this all out like the names of your tools, which oven to use etc....

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Welcome!

[@LadyB_20]

Love this. No clay gets left behind ❤

[@zebralauren1]

I get soooo dang excited when I see that you've uploaded a new video! I swear I think I've lost count on how many times I've literally just binge watched your videos lol. And I'm loving the new intro...where on earth did you get that adorable mini throne??

[@journaljewelrybyjudee]

I'm with you Lauren. As soon as I see her in my feed, the world stops, nobody gets fed, no pets walked - it's MY time :D

[@leafry101]

Me too, lol

[@jirup]

My guess would be, Susan made the throne... polymer clay, some thrifted velvet, rhinestones, seed beads and probably some cardboard salvaged from the recycle bin for the under structure.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

@@jirup your very close its leftover foam core from my previous videos a thrifted skirt and airdry clay ! My daughter insisted I make a throne

[@DanielSanchez-rc8gk]

Love all the techniques you show. Thank you

[@laurajones5784]

The baby dog is adorable

[@leigh9354]

watching you work is memorizing. I have stuff to give it a try but I am so intimidated

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

It's just clay worst thing you get muddy clay and I have videos to use that !

[@beverleybee1309]

Try taking out just one block of clay. Open it up. Cut it into bars. Roll it around for a while. Squish it. Get to know the clay. Don't try to make anything out of it yet. Take it one step at a time. It's like playing with Taffy. It is surprisingly fun. Before you know it, you'll want more.😁 Good luck.

[@melissazrinski8702]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your generosity in sharing all of your videos, especially the ones for us beginners, and your premo sample packages. Always love, love, love watching your videos! As you say "it is just clay", but watching you work your magic, and teaching us how to do so, is so therapeutic and fantabulous!

[@PipPipS]

Glad for u that u moved to Patreon but sad for myself that i won't get to see ur older videos as u have moved them, i used to take inspiration from them time to time but not anymore i guess 😭 but u gotta do what u gotta do 😘😘😘

[@binduantony7408]

Hi mam, I am frm india, I am Bindu antony I am a crazy fan of ur art , you inspire me so much that I cant express in words, coz you r a flower lover and all ur designs r mostly flower based themes and bling I love blings just like you ,each and evry vedios of yours I watch multiple times ,as I am a polymer artist 2 it's a pleasure watching your creation and your vedios and it really lifts my spirit whenever I am down and low, thank you for inspiring people like me and whenever you do create somthing new I try to create it coz I love ur designs, god bless you mam ❤️❤️❤️

[@DEFENDERS777]

Thank you so much you are awesome

[@user-yu7qp8qj7k]

Fantastic work. Your incredible, easy to listen to and very well done ❤❤❤

[@Wendy-WackyWomanCreations]

Susan, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this series, especially this video. Watching your creativity at work with what you had left was super interesting. The flowers toward the end turned out so so pretty. I know you don't do veneers but I saw a lot of possibilities since I am not much of a cane maker. Thank you for taking on this challenge. I hope it was as much fun to do as it was to watch..

[@carla8erthal]

Hi Susan, i Love this tutorial. Love your work and support that you show in your videos.

[@kathyjones274]

Wonderful, really nice 👍. Thank you so very much 😊.

[@rubylopez5941]

Remarkable that you used up every possible bit of that clay. No waste artistry. Impressive!

[@niniecase1253]

Love the opening doll.. she's just so cuteeeee.. As always I appreciate you sharing your talents with us.. God bless you Susan..

[@DEFENDERS777]

So much for all your information you are awesome this is one of the best tutorials I have ever seen you are definitely number 1

[@barbaragrace1992]

Absolutely stunning. There's pure magic at work under your hands. Those colour combos are amazing. I could watch you design all day long.

[@dianamorris5327]

Happy thanksgiving, and thank you for all of the inspiration.

[@goreytinies]

[@staceyrowell6211]

Great to have something awesome to watch while cooking Thanksgiving dinner!

[@blessthisemptynest]

Omgoodness I love your b.j.d in your intro. You have the same colour hair that I have at the moment. I have recently started with polymer (57 yr old playing lol) I’m looking forward to making some of those beads. Thank you for sharing them with us.

[@DistractedDaisy]

So cute- you shy make a storyline with your mini self!

Always a joy to see you xx

[@silverbats]

Thank u for showing me what to do with all my scrappy bits! Scrap? What scrap! U are amazing and I didn't even notice that the video was an hour long till the end! And I still wanted more lol! Thank U!!

[@erose6996]

Beautiful work again. Thanks for all your work.❤️

[@melin1974]

I love when you do this! You are like magic! 😁

[@beccascrafts4928]

You amazing lady, you always inspire! There's no one else I'd rather watch and learn from x

[@margaritagerman]

Your beads are beautiful. I am so thrilled to be able to watch your creative mind thinking thru the challenge. It gives me a guide to get moving when I am stuck, or afraid of making mud. I am not really afraid of mud anymore, just get out the mica powders and have some fun. I bought the tiny mini cutters last year after your flower videos, so making the various mini flowers to go with the different sized beads you already made is fun and so satisfying. After spending so much time with you, I have a little stock pile of tools, some handmade and some purchased. I have clay I bought and some that people unloaded on me, and some gold leaf. I so enjoy going back and watching your videos over and over. It is like having a master artist teaching me my trade, like an apprentice in the old, old days. You are wonderful and a treasure!!

[@100acresintasmaniaoffthegr7]

They are all amazing

[@bonniefaltz9505]

You amaze me how you work with colors and how you managed to use every bit of that box of clay. Can't wait to see what you make with everything! Thanks Susan. Hope your Thanksgiving was very happy!

[@elenavaccaro339]

Wow! I have thought about getting into polymer clay. The amount you got out of that one box... And loved your music choices, Beethoven and Vagner are two of my favorites.

[@vivsalittlebitcrafty4854]

😮 You are an absolute magician!! 😍😍 Fabulous, just fabulous!!. Thank you so much Susan x

[@kathyjones274]

Red is my favorite color

[@j.c.7555]

You are such an inspiration! I’ve said it before how much I admire your color choices and all your creations! Such an artist as well as teacher...hope you never stop posting.💚💛🧡

[@clare9637]

So helpful. Thank you very much.

[@donnajosephsonblatz5058]

Wow, Susan! I have really enjoyed this starter pack series. Amazing how much you created from it. Thanks.

[@zandramangrum5483]

So much talent.

[@deborahfarmer2532]

So many amazing ideas 💡 😍 Thank You so much! Scrap drives me crazy, so all these ideas are brilliant.

[@elizabethcramer3741]

WOW!!! You must have been working with clay forever!! You put these things together knowing how they’ll all turn out with what you’re doing! I’m sooo impressed!! I don’t even know what to say...except WOW!!♥️

[@Beadofgoodcheer]

Amazing!👏🙋‍♀️🎊💕👍🎉❤️

[@DarlingBo-bannie]

First time to your channel. Very nice!

[@margaretmurphy9498]

Great video. Love the snoring. I have a pug and he's a pro!

[@kristibbradshaw]

You can make them into buttons. Buttons are expensive anymore.

[@georgiaschwab7936]

Saw your craft rooms. WOW, amazing how organized you are. I loved this video thank you.

[@karenraabis5296]

Omg! That beginning! Awesome

[@annnoyez]

I just find you, dont know how you passed by, but I was intrigued by you jewelry/beads. Thats what I call boho. Not those creme with a black and brown accent... don't know how they came to the thought that thats Bobo. You are my kind of girl... i shut up now, starting binge watching... thank you... and I love the little dog... makes it much more interesting to watch you when I see this puppy eyes... lol... Oh by the way, I subscribed lol

[@cherylmeyer9857]

Haha, you didn’t do anything fancy. Everything you do is fancy and beautiful! As always, thank you for sharing your incredible talent and fun personality.

[@jackiemasek8302]

That is amazing! You are truly talented and smart. By the way, I even liked your “mistakes” and that final glob. Deciding what colors go together is a skill and a talent. You have both in spades. I’m adding clay beads to my list of things to learn this year.

[@melbabowen4389]

Fabulous!!

[@artandcraftbypadmag6832]

Lovely content 💕...loved all your beads...so beautiful and Nostalgic ❤️

[@bohorustica8545]

It was such a dreary chilly day here on the West Coast so your video was a perfect antidote for my soul. Inspiring as always they never fail to spark my imagination. Your swirled green lentil beads always remind me of a galaxy of stars. Appreciate the many hours you put in to present your perfect videos. Thanks for sharing so much. Happy Thanksgiving, may you and yours always be well and safe. :))

[@lindylittleton4183]

Excellent tutorial and so many ideas. Love the intro

[@HuskyMama1009]

Am laughing -- never would have associated "Flight of the Valkyries" when making poly-canes! Hilarious! Great job as always

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@hoosiergrandma7640]

Susan, you are my favorite polymer clay channel. I learn so much from your videos and find myself watching them over and over again. Who knows, one of these days, I may actually buy a little clay and see if I can do something with it. :)

[@augustsamplesglittercrotch4194]

THAT DOG IS A STAR

[@songyardbird2513]

Thank you! You really are an amazing artist, teacher, and videographer. Happy Thanksgiving.
