[@InaSolsberyartroom]

great video Maria and such pretty bracelets. Love the poll idea as well..want to figure out how to do that.

[@SweetWillowDsgn]

+Ina Solsbery Hey Ina, thanks for watching and glad you like these bracelets. I figured out how to set up the poll but no one actually used it so it must be hard to find or use. Oh well, keep trying. :)

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

I used it Maria,,,did it not work??

[@SweetWillowDsgn]

I'm not entirely sure. It looks like maybe but finding the report is a problem. It may be that it takes a couple of days for the poll results to show up. Still playing with it.

[@SweetWillowDsgn]

+Ina Solsbery Ok, I checked my analytics this morning and it did work but took a couple of days to post results. Supposedly you can get results real time but I need to keep checking on that.

[@InaSolsberyartroom]

Good..it is a very cool idea..

[@suzynissen2350]

Hi Annette. The bracelet with the roses is an image transfer. I'll do an upcoming video on the technique. Glad you enjoyed.

[@jasminehealey9405]

You probably won't see this since this video was made a few years ago but I feel the need to leave it anyway on the off chance that you may read it & reply. 1st I'd like to say thank you so much for sharing this. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it! This one bracelet just combines several particular looks that I just can not get enough of. I'm so excited to try making it but right when I was about to I realized something.. I have no idea how you were able to get a raised up embossed image from the cursive writing. I have several script style stamps but they would all leave an impressed image on the clay since the letters are raised on the stamps. I do have a stencil of cursive writing, could I somehow use that? Can I ask, how on earth were you able to do that?! I'm so disappointed that I do not currently have a way of achieving that effect because it means that I can't try making this just yet. So I'm really hoping you see this & get back to me asap, I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much again!

[@SweetWillowDsgn]

Hi Jasmine. I'm so glad you liked this project. To get the raised texture I used an embossing folder meant for paper. It has both a negative and positive impression. Here's a link for a similar one as an example: amzn.to/2sKzXF7 Hope you find one you like. THanks so much for watching!

[@udayanipathapati422]

I just discovered your channel and fell in love with your work

[@SweetWillowDsgn]

Hi. Thanks so much for watching. I use Sculpey Premo! clay so can only speak to that clay. I haven't had any issue with breaking but I am not rough on the jewelry. I experiment with baking times/temperatures also to see how the clay performs strength. Experimenting might help you find just the right time/temp.

[@udayanipathapati422]

@@SweetWillowDsgn I use Premo too... thanks for you advice.. I will definitely try and experiment. Keep up the good work!!

[@Marisol9111-w3p]

Hi Lupe, thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked the bracelet. I used DecoArt Dazzling Metallics Peacock Pearl. Love this color! Hope you try the project.

I've had to order the Varathane Matte on line. Check Home Depot or big box home improvement, if they don't have it in stock you can order it which I've done. Here's an Amazon link if you need it: amzn.to/2bJp65z

[@anitaparikh6415]

The aluminium blanks are 14 gauge on Amazon. Is that the right gauge or are they too stiff and unbendy?

[@c.y.vandenberg2490]

Mij hands are too warm. By the time I'm finished there will be no reliëf left. Even if I put my work in the fridge for a while. What to do? Btw: I like the red bracelet without the gem. Beautiful. Great tutorial! Thank you.

[@SweetWillowDsgn]

Glad you liked the bracelet. I think you'll have to go slow and rest the clay quite a bit to counter the warmth of your hands. My basement is so cold I never have a problem! :) Thanks for watching.

[@dianabrady1056]

Can this be done with a wooden cuff bracelet?

[@SweetWillowDsgn]

You take a chance doing it on wood. Wood has moisture that causes the cuff to expand/contract which could crack the clay. I would try baking the wood cuff first to remove as much moisture as possible then cover.

[@debbiegaines1362]

Do you use the blanks so that you don't have to add closures?

[@SweetWillowDsgn]

Hi Debbie. The style I was going for was a traditional cuff. I found that just using polymer clay was not sufficiently strong so I use the blanks for strength.

[@debbiegaines1362]

Thank you. Love the idea, now to order blanks
