You lady are one of the sweethearts of the arts. To be so generous with your ideas and hard work you are one of the rare breed of artist. These are beautiful by the way!

[@lapislazulblue]

What a pleasant and professional tutorial! And you have given it to all of us free of charge. I have paid considerable money for many tutorials of so much lesser quality. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with all of us. Your generosity is as inspiring as your art.

Hi Helen, Ditto all the comments here. Love your work! I have been trying to incorporate more variety in my clay work, doesn't seem like a lot of people are buying jewelry in my area. These designs are so inspiring and have given me the creative push I need to incorporate my kumihimo strands with unique pendants. Thanks for sharing!! Jan

[@rhondabeckwith8782]

Beautiful! Your right about coming back another time with fresh eyes for more ideas. Just gorgeous. Thank you

[@helenbreil7969]

Thanks Rhonda! Enjoy!

[@barnespeggy]

Helen I always love your work. It is the most inspirational of any I have seen. Please don't ever stop doing what you are the best at. Your artistic design is out of this world. Thank you for sharing all your awesome ideas with all of us.

I got my patterned rubber stamps yesterday. I am in HEAVEN. Love, love, love them. going to order more. Thank you, Helen.

[@Carbinecat1]

Thank you Helen these videos are incredible. You really are an inspiration. I have all your texture sheets so I guess I better get to work. Kim, I bought the Diamond Varathane at an Ace Store. I pour a little out in a small bottle when I use it so I don't contaminate the rest of it. I have rebaked things with varathane on them also. Thanks again Helen, that was so kind of you to share this.

[@valhadfield6563]

Thank you so much for this easy to follow and inspirational video Helen. Thank you too for making it clear that we can sell items inspired by this video. It's a minefield and really I think in the main, none of us wish to steal another artists work. I wish you a blessed and happy New year.

Now this is why I'm becoming a polymer Clay artist. You can omit the artist for now. Still learning. Thank you so much for the inspiration.... Love your work. I'm having A hard time finding cording. Love the yarn you use. Where did u find it.

[@helenbreil7969]

Thanks so much for the kind words Sandra! The yarns are found in yarn (knitting) specialty shops. Sometimes good beading shops will have nice silk cords as well. Have fun with the clay!

[@conniewhitney6878]

[@sugunasrinivas438]

Hi..helen..those are lovely designs..a small doubt..when i try to bake thin sheets aftr folding..it remains flexible after curing too..i mean am able to bend it and squeeze it to deform..is there a problem with baking?? Or do you use any other hard type of clay? or folded beads do feel the same..Thanks in advance

[@joyceparkes2678]

Wow thank you so much.. so helpful 😊

[@helenbreil7969]

You are welcome Joyce - enjoy trying it out!

[@mariahernandez278]

hola bella Sra. No hablo ingles tendría libros o cursos en español se lo agradecería, sus trabajos son hermosísimos, muchas felicidades!!! Quiero aprender mil gracias....

[@realgirl2704]

You are a very talented artist. I love your work. I would like to buy some of your texturizers but very they are not readily available. Only one shop you listed had some & not what I wanted. Are there any other places to get them?

[@HelenBreil]

All of our retailers are listed on the textures retailers page www.helenbreil.com/texture-retailers.html If you email us at [e-mail] and let me know what country you are in, and which stamp you are looking for I will see if I can find one. regards

[@StudioPashnada]

Your work is stunning. I don't see where to buy it tho.

[@peaches5712]

Hello Helen....your designs are amazing as well as your instructions. I have a question about the German Silver paste you use. I ordered some of the same kind however, is it actually silver or does it have a gold tone, which doesn't make sense if it's silver? :) It says German Silver on the lid, but it sure looks gold to me. I was wondering if maybe they had the lids mixed up or something. Thought I would check with you first before contacting the vendor. Thanks!

[@HelenBreil]

+peaches5712 Hi Sorry for the delayed respponse but we were away on vacation. Yes the name is confusing because there is a lot of gold in the German Silver. It's like a combination of silver & gold. So yes I think you have the right colour. Thanks so much for the kind words about my work! Have fun with the claying!

[@beerosshelti1584]

love your work what is this clay it gets hard by it self or you bake it

[@MsStolenmoments]

Thank you so much

Hi Helen is the Varathane a waterbase or oil based?

[@helenbreil7969]

It is water based Diane.

[@bentlife2541]

Helen, where can I order the 2006 beading magazine with your folded bead tutorial? Thank you!!!

[@helenbreil7969]

Hi Norrie, I tried to do a bit of googling and I can't find that tutorial anymore - sorry!

[@bentlife2541]

@@helenbreil7969 Thank you..I tried to find it too & kept coming up empty, so I thought maybe it was me. 😉 I appreciate your help!! I'm still going to attempt to make the folded beads from your tutorial. 😊❤

[@bonnieb6984]

How do you add the button to the finished piece? Glue?

[@robertablue5364]

how long does the Krylon pen take to dry?

[@helenbreil7969]

Hi Roberta, I would think 30 minutes tops should do it.

[@jantaylor8896]
