Dear Susan, You have been a complete game changer for me!!! I have watched all your videos, began with flower canes (which did not resemble yours much), but have kept at it and suddenly the canes are looking much better. I have worked with clay for about a year before seeing your videos, but it was limited to all pendants, white clay and alcohol ink (mundane stuff). Your videos have completely opened a whole new world for me. I made at least 100 acorns and pumpkins and when the video on a bracelet arrived, I made quite a few and my friends/family loved the bracelets! I now have a bead stash of flowers, bubble canes, which I adore! (in at least 4 colors!), swirl and even my very own canes (altho I am sure someone has done them...they are simple) Yesterday, I made 50 collage beads when I saw your video.I now mix all my colors with pearl and white and gold and they look unique.... and I am loving the colors. I am telling you this because you should know what a wonderful influence you have had on me and those who see your videos!! You are a great teacher!! Thank you SO much for sharing your extensive knowledge, expertise and pure joy with working with clay!! I also love your cute pup. We have 3 pups and my gmail address is for our oldest, Oona, an 11 yr old irish wolfhound. I just can't thank you enough!

Fabulous take on the tear away technique. Love the beads.

Saturday binge watching your videos ❤️ that’s a great day ❤️

I had to run to tell you. To brag and happy dance a little actually. lol.. my best ever wonderful friend came over early this evening while I was playing around making some beads. She brought her 15 yo daughter who has a birthday coming up. They fell in love with the polymer clay beads I was making (these ones!) . I showed them the Shibori necklace I'd made following your tutorial. She says, the daughter that is, omg I want a headband like your necklace! I pulled out my stash of Shibori ribbon and we, all 3 of us, went to town. That kid is a natural with polymer clay. Wowza! She caught on in record speed and was off and running. I brought my laptop in and set her up with your channel of tutorials. 6 hours later and very late at night they've gone home.. with 3 headbands and a pile of jewelry & beads they made. The headbands are drop dead gorgeous! Truly a spectacular use for the Shibori style. We added all kinda of tiny beads, some pearls and some tiny beads she, the daughter, made. I have no idea how she managed to make such tiny beads but she did it. I burned the 1st batch sadly. The 2nd batch I watched much much more closely. So now I'm putting in a fast order for lots more clay because we're planning to get together to do a 2 week long polymer bead camp during my vaca. How much fun is that?!! I owe all this fun and goodness that's a BIG part of my life to you. Truly, to you. When I watched my first ever KZfaq video on polymer clay it was one of yours and I was hooked instantly. You took the "perfection" element out ( I would have gotten way to fussy and ruined the fun except you kept saying not to during your videos) and made it something fun rather than stressful. I learned the perfection & beauty comes from being organic, serendipitous and imperfect! So again, thank you.. from the bottom of my heart, the biggest thank you possible.

Oh! The pup, LOL!!!!!!

OMG, WOW l have been watching bead making video's where they are made with paper. Then youtube said look at this. Wow, l am a pastel person big time, especially baby pink. And l love this video. Thank you for being so creative.

I was quietly watching this in the wee hours , until the end when I snorted really loudly with laughter at your dog. 😂

Gorgeous. OMG poor pup pups! Lol

Poor baby love the beads

Abu looks so cute with her “eye Boos”.

i love that idea.......honestly my eyes just popped out just looking at the different verity of beads in that tray......lol.....that is really a true treasure......

I think I have watched at least 100 hours of just your videos (true story) in the last 3 weeks. I have tried clay and kept getting disappointed. You explain everything in amazing detail. So needless to say$400 or $500 later I’m ready to try it again. lol. Shhhhh.....don’t tell my hubby. The videos are truly a pleasure to watch for these reasons: 1.) your style (love everything you make). 2.) you are a very great teacher. You explain everything in fabulous detail. 3.) your videos are very well organized. 4.) the show and tell at the end to show the different color combos and uses are them best! 5.) that puppy of your...just too cute...I really get a kick out of the snorts and snores.

Your dog at the end ! HA HA HA HA HA !!! I needed that smile today ... THANK YOU !

Watched this video again because I forgot I had already seen it. It was just as beautiful the second time.

Just when I think there could not possibly be another technique, you show a new one. Love the simplicity of this technique. Thanks again for the time you take to show us all the wonderful things that we can do with clay.

They are beautiful! And I love your „don’t worry“ attitude. I need more of that, so I always like to hear it said from someone who‘s work is so beautiful despite (or probably because) of that attitude.

The makeover on puppers killed me! Thank you for another great tutorial!

Omg! I love this technique!!😍😍🤩🤩Thank you for sharing!! ❣️❣️❣️

I love your videos, Susan.

I have to admit that the show and tell must be my favourite part of the video. It’s something about seeing all those pretty colours and different type of beads that get me all exited! I could watch it for days lol

Oh OH - heading down to my workshop!

The best polymer tutor of 2018 and probably of 2019 too! Great tutorial Susan!

wow brilliant! omg the dog :D :D :D

I love learning from you!

Beautiful Beads. Love your video. ❤️❤️❤️

So beautiful

I love your videos I love it that you don't sweat the small stuff and you make it fun

Thoroughly enjoyed the tutorial! Thank you for allowing the camera to REALLY focus on the small details. As the video came to the end, I realized this was like a Marvel movie, with a surprise after everything else is done and the credits have rolled.

I LOVE these. I bought a pasta machine a couple of months ago with only 7 settings, 7 being the thickest. It's been tricky to get similar thicknesses of clay. So my hubby bought me an Atlas 150 in sapphire blue! 9 settings..now same settings as yours😁😁 I'm so excited...it arrived today. I can't wait to get cranking! 😂 I call them "Happy accidents" 😁

This seems like what people are getting when they do the watercolor technique recently ,very similar results.Yours are just beautiful!

Very nice. I do like the way you finish your pieces. Your dog is so patient. We lost our Pit bull, Vixen to cancer last July, but it was so funny to see her and my granddaughter play around with nail polish. Jackie would get out the bottle and Vixen would sit right down for her manicure 💅. Thanks for sharing and happy claying.

Those are all gorgeous . . Love the gold on every one of them..thanks for sharing . . 😎 😎 😎

Beautiful as always! Love the “makeover” on your pup lol

Those are beautiful

You are so good at this.

So unique I've never seen polymer clay beads like this

Your puppy girl has a good make-up artist:) So cute :)))

Your beads are so lovely!

Loved your tut. Dry pretty. Love your little pooch too.❤️

I know that this is an old video, but I just had to tell you how beautiful all your beads are! A great watch - Thank you! 💕

You just amaze me with your creativity and your skill. You make me want to try clay again!!

I've done two sets of these so far, and not only are they fun, but the only abundance of clay I've used is scrap clay! This one is definitely worth a try!

Your puppy at the end so cute. I had a dog who would pester me while painting. Lol he was all black. He stopped when i painted him once.

Really enjoyed watching your videos, have learned so much. I want to have a go now but need to get to bed as it's nearly midnight here in the UK. Thank you so much.

Beautiful ! Thank You for new idea again . Looks like Miss Button Eyes visited mom's makeup bag . She is such a darling and she makes me very happy and smiley every time I see her .

These are fabulous beads Susan!! I love them. Thanks!!!🥰

I've watched all your tutorials and wondered how you find the time to make your own beautiful beads and then create these one-of-a-kind, handcrafted and beaded original pieces of jewelry! I think I've figured it out... you never sleep, do you? Seriously, you do inspire my work and give me wonderful ideas to stretch my comfort zone. Thanks, Susan!

Love the beads! And almost died of laughter seeing your princess at the end lmao 😂

Fantastic I love tham all xx but your dog gave me a chuckle 🤭

Is it just me or do those beads look like little globes in the thumbnail? 😂 I love it

hahahaha.... love the ole Bette Davis look at the end... Poor Puppy.... she is sooooooooooooo patient with you... and your quirkiness...

Lovely and really simple

I really CANNOT understand the people who give their thumb down😳 ! I really love what you create!

love your work and your dogs are adorable and your studios are so magical and glittery.....love glitz and sparkle........thanks for showing and sharing your techniques........really great of you to do that............pat

Thank you so much. I feel so inspired. The jewelry you showed at the end was breathtaking.

Great beads! I just LOVE your style. And OMG!!! Princess Abu's make-up was hilarious! I didn't think I could quit laughing.

Such a pretty clever little bead.

Absolutely love it!!! Fantastic!!!! Totally inspired!!!! I've made a makeup play date with my cat for this weekend too now 😸😸😸🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖💖❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌🙌🧚🧚🧚🧚🪄🪄🪄

Oh my Lord!! These are amazing!! There is going to be a lot of collaging going on here! Your Princess doesn't look too happy about her makeover *hangs her head in disdain*. Thanks for the great tutorial 😍😍

I absolutely love your tutorials. You are such an excellent teacher! I never worked with polymer clay before. You've inspired me! My Premo clay and pasta machine arrive tomorrow. I can't wait to play.

Lovely work, I am just dying to try this

Love all of those gorgeous beads so much!! ....Awww your adorable little fur baby 💙 ... such a sweetheart 💙 .... one of my boys went over the rainbow bridge last week 😢 rescued him and his Brother when they were just 5 weeks old....(now 17 yrs old)....the 3 of us have never been parted before...boy it's tough!! ....

Her adorableness is enhanced, omgollygee!

Wow so pretty, tfs

Those are gorgeous! Love them!

Beautiful work of course

this might be my favorite video yet! So simple, yet so dramatic and beautiful finished products. Thank you Susan

No matter how many times I watch a video, I thoroughly enjoy it and learn something new that I didn't notice before. Each tutorial has so many layers of information. Thanks for sharing your talent and many years of experience!

You are truly an amazing artist!!! I absolutely love your creations!!

How beautiful! This is on my list of favourites !!

I love your tutorials Susan. Thank you for sharing!

So beautiful. Love you use of leaf in your creations. With these beads I think I really like the black background, but that's my taste. xoxo

Love these‼️

Another great video. Thank You! Happy New Year!

You. Are. Amazingggggg.

Gorgeous! I can't wait for your videos. 💝

Beautiful!

So pretty!

Lovely beads. You always make the process seem so clear and doable. Sharing the oops and how to make everything useable instills confidence. Thank you for always including your furbaby at the end. As I viewed this video I was drinking hot tea. I was not prepared for the Glamour Shot! Due to the element of total surprise I literally sprayed hot tea across my desk. I appreciate a totally unexpected belly-laugh, especially when it includes an aDOGdorable furbaby!

Wow! Another beautiful idea for beads. Have to try it! Ahh, Princess Abu you are beautiful!

So good!!

GORGEOUS!!

So easy and yet gorgeous! You’re so inspiring Susan. Thank you!

Waking up to see you've uploaded another video makes my morning :)

Oh, your beadwork is so beautiful! Thank you for technique video!

Beautiful! Gotta try this. Thank you for sharing, always a pleasure. 💞

You're work is absolutely amazing!

Really nice!!

These are so cool. Love them!!

Thank you for these wonderful tutorials; I can’t stop watching them. Your beads are so beautiful.

WOW, very pretty!

Love the ideas in your tutorials. Wish I had found them weeks ago!!

These beads and the jewelry you made with them are absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

I enjoy the randomness, and yet the cohesion. I really like the teardrop shapes.

You have some great ideas, this is another one. Love it.

Gorgeous I will have to try that method TYFS❤️

I love the light pastel with the black underneath. And oh my goodness that turquoise bracelet love, love,love it. All your beads are really beautiful. Thank you.

LOVE the pastel beads - reminds me of Easter!! Around the 11:30 mark, before you made them into teardrops, I thought they looked like mini roses!! VERY much enjoyed watching this video!!!

Fantastic creations!! Thanks for sharing your great work!! 😊😊

I have to say that I loved the unevenness of the pastel color blend you made. It made me think of watercolors. I hope I can reproduce it. You seem to have a natural instinct when it comes to color.. I’m always inspired by your videos to try something new. Thank you!!
