I did not know you were sick. I’m so sorry. Glad both you and your daughter are doing much better. Love the beads!

[@ThinkingOutsideTheBox]

Thank you 💜

[@wendymoyer782]

So glad you and your daughter are doing well; it's fantastic that she's able to go back to work. Praying for you to get the results you need to allow you to visit your Mom again. Take care and continue to gain strength.

Hi Allison I am really happy that you and your daughter are now alright. 🙏 Thank you so much for sharing with us these beautiful beads!!😊🇵🇹

[@milokatrak4148]

Glad you are all better. Thanks for sharing your video. ❤️

[@ThinkingOutsideTheBox]

Milo Katrak Thank you so much Milo 😊

[@ruthtrefethen4171]

They are indeed beautiful. Kind of remind me of crescent rolls as you wind them up. I love the idea of making your own beads.....it makes matching pendants, earrings, brooches so much easier. Again, a great tutorial. Thankyou!

[@karenmorris5847]

OMG 😱 Allison, I had no idea that you and your daughter were sick, had I known I would have included you in my prayers. I literally stop have any inspiration when your videos stop. You are one talented lady and I really love your art. Thank God you and your daughter are back with living. Much love from Montana ♥️

[@ThinkingOutsideTheBox]

Karen Morris Thank you so very much Karen. 🤗🤗💜💜

[@BarefootBeader]

I'm sorry you and your daughter have had to go through this terrible virus. It has made it's mark on our family as well. By the grace of God, everyone will make it through safely. I'm glad you guys are doing better. Love the beads! They are very pretty. Thank-you for the tutorial. God bless....

[@ThinkingOutsideTheBox]

*Vertigo Val* Thank you so very much 🤗💜🤗

[@gillbennett6616]

Fantastic tutorial, beautiful beads, thank you

[@cableknitter7346]

After stirring verathan with chopstick, you should stick end of chopstick into foam block so you can stand it up & use all that excess verathan by wiping it off with your brush (then using it on your bead) instead of wiping it off with paper towel. Just use a 2nd chopstick to hold the bead while coating it. May save bunches of verathane! Thanks so much for the excellent tutorial.. those beads are simply GORGEOUS!!!

[@WayGemstones]

So beautiful...

[@ThinkingOutsideTheBox]

Creative Sharing Thank you 💜

[@notashroom]

I've watched several of your videos, but this is my first time leaving a comment. You've gotten a lot better about being concise and editing out unnecessary content, which I appreciate. I love learning new approaches and different ways to craft, but like most folks my time is limited and I need to use video length as one of my criteria in deciding which videos to watch. This improvement you've made enables me to learn from you more often, so thank you. :) I hope you and your daughter are both recovering well and fully. I'm a mom with 3 daughters, and the 3 of us who live in the same county had the virus earlier this year at the same time, so I very much sympathize.

[@fawnwolfe7355]

notashroom I personally love Alison’s videos. she’s always been very concise. An awful lot of her techniques require an in-depth explanation and sometimes that takes time. She has to balance video length with being thorough. I appreciate that you may be too busy for long videos but there is one of her and many of us and she doesn’t have time to answer each and every one of us individually if she leaves something out that we need to know. It’s not like she sits around telling stories, she shares details about her projects. I personally appreciate quality over quantity and would rather watch and learn from a great longer video than a short so so average video showing me one more way to do something everyone else has already done. As far as what was wrong with them, another rude individual chose to ignore the fact that they had all of the symptoms of covid and went to work sick as a dog, infecting her daughter who got it and took it home to mom. They both suffered terribly. They both recovered. In the mean time all of us were pretty worried about them.

[@notashroom]

@@fawnwolfe7355 I'm happy for you that you are pleased with Alison's videos of all lengths. I also appreciate quality over quantity, which is why I praised Alison for getting better at being more concise and editing out unnecessary parts. You needn't defend her from me, as I'm not attacking her.

[@blackitikatt533]

Glad you recovered! ☺😷👍🏽❤

I am so sorry to hear that you & your daughter got the Coronavirus. My husband came down with it on the 2nd of May, We have been married for 42 years. And this is the sickest I’ve ever seen him. I took care of him for about 4 weeks & I never got sick. Thank You Jesus, I don’t know how we would have made it with us both sick. The Coronavirus is a wicked sickness.

[@kaylabishop5099]

This video is awesome! I am using it to make my best fiend a necklace. When I am heat setting the varathane, can I use metal dowels, or will this cause the polymer clay to bake further and possibly burn?

[@darlaboyle1074]

Thank God you both are okay. Continued prayers for you and your family. These beads are Amazing. My sister did a similar bead out of paper. Very cool.

[@ThinkingOutsideTheBox]

Darla Boyle Thank you so much Darla 💜💜

[@extrabijou]

Love these! I can't manage the black edges so may either do that first before rolling them up...or layer a thin sheet of white clay over black. Waiting for a new set of pastels to arrive. I only have a handful of colors on hand. Great channel. You share such great techniques. Sorry to hear you were stricken with the virus. Glad to hear you are feeling better!

[@cherylberry1613]

I am so sorry you girls went through that♡ I love these beads. I am going to have to try them. I had been doing paper but there is a cheap look to the ones I make. These beads you have designed are Beautiful!

I haven't bought any Primo polymer clay yet but in the meantime I'm painting wooden beads. I'm painting with matt burgundy or turquise and putting a tiger affect of gold over them and then finger nail polish. They look great finished. When I can afford it I'll be getting the clay and what you suggested. I love your clay beads, they turned out so lovely...
