I really appreciate how you go slow for beginners and don’t assume we know what comes next. I also love how you leave in things like dog hair removal! That’s real life and makes me feel better about all the dog hair that incorporates itself into my projects.
I really appreciate that your videos are real time and you show all parts of the creative process. Thank you for the time you put into helping teach beginners too!
Love your videos, your laughter and exuberance are contagious! One word for your housekeeping: Roomba (changed my life). Keep up the great crafting!! Thank you
I love these! The round one you could almost use as a table top in a fairy house if you cut it a bit thicker, it would look like a wood slab. I was so mesmerized by you shaping the leaves that I actually said “awww” when I realized you were done! Great video. I love them all but this one was one of my favorite!!!
Your giggles are infectious. I love that, and I also love that you take the time too truly show how much time it takes. Might have found my new teacher in you. You truly show the joy of crafting
Has a beginner thank you I'm making Christmas trees for my mom I did One Last year by I saw your thumbnails glow in the dark and thought it would be perfect
Lol! I’d rather craft than anything else at home too. I let my fur babies have the run of the house and there’s fur on my favorite chair all the time. The ONLY place they are not allowed in is my studio, a small extra bedroom right smack in the middle of the house. I work with polymer clays, resin and make quality dollhouse furniture. I just got tired of fighting the doggie hair. My baby is a Pomeranian! Love your videos and subscribed. You are truly a down to earth joy to see and hear. Thank you for your great tutorials.
Love this Von, very cute glowing leaves. I’m imagining all the clever things we can do with them. Love that you really enjoy what you are doing. This was the first video of yours I’ve seen, now to go checkout what other clever things you’ve come up with. 🧚♂️
You are awesome, keeping beginners in mind. I know I’ve been in that spot asking myself “is it supposed to take this long or be this hard”? Keep doing what you do I love your videos.
Lol! I am so glad to be helpful to you, Shawna! Even with over a decade of crafting under my belt, it is too easy for me to fall into that same rut of "this person does it in a snap, why have I been wrestling with this for 30 minutes?!" Then I remember editing is a thing /facepalm
Hi there! I actually don't do polymer clay, but I do enjoy crafting in general. I just sort of wandered over to this video as it came up in a recommend and I gotta say, those leaves were just too beautiful to pass up! I wanted to say thank you so much for showing me how incredibly involved it is making all these amazing polymer pieces that I see around, I had no idea! Watching you was extremely relaxing and you have a very soothing voice and I enjoyed getting to see your own reactions to all the neat outcomes. It's been a stressful week but this just helped me to relax and enjoy some truly wonderful craftsmanship, ty!! The leaves are gorgeous!! XD
I love watching your videos. You’ve inspired me and kind of gave me the boost I needed to start creating rather than just wishing I could, if you know what I mean. I wish I could upload the dragon’s eyes I’ve created. Thank you ❤️
such fun!!! You know you can make a glass murrini (cane) the same way - build on the main rod until you get it how you want it, marver it into shape and pull it into a "stringer"... Once it is cool, snip off little chunks and stick it on your larger work or beads! Popular way to make eye parts to stick onto a white gather & make cool eyeballs.
If you want a very vieny leaf with a pronounced gloat what you can do is make a blend and then make a thinner sheet of just glow clay and roll then together to get a "striped" bullseye. then you smoosh the plug into an oval, cut it on a diagonal, then flip one half and put it together. I usually reserve some "blend" and fanfold it to make a center slice.
lint roll your work surface before crafting. Just one of those sticky disposable sheet ones. Picks up fur, lint, random crumbs and other stray bits. Beautiful leaves.
About the pet hair, I have found that most of it comes from what I'm wearing, so fresh and lint brushed shirt helps quite a bit as well as dusting the work area. I have three Persian cats, so ya!! 😹
I just started getting into making canes and I really like your video. You take your time and explain everything along the way which is what I need right now to get more experience. That is such a beautiful cane you made and I'm impressed by your talents. Thank you so much for posting your video. And yes, I love that glow effect.
I'm just getting into polymer clay, and I want to get the tools that I need. What is the cutting tool (long one) that you use, and where can I get one? BTW you are my crafting idol. :)
@Sharane Wiedenhoeft; You can purchase cutting blades like the one Yvonne used in this tutorial at either “Michael’s “. or “ Joann’s “ or any craft and hobby store. I purchase a lot of my polymer clay and tools from both stores. You might want to check out “ Turtle Soup Beads” with Susan, she demonstrates some interesting techniques and shares ideas on how to make some of your own tools and how to use some items like a number 2 pencil , a piece of white paper ( from the recycle bin), a knitting needle, or how to cut up a empty soda can to make a cutting tool, even an empty cereal bag and cardboard can be used in ways as tools. You can also check out “Tiny Pandora “; I hear that she has some wonder ideas and tools to offer also. I believe Yvonne ‘s forte is Fairy houses because she has made a lot of really beautiful ones to date and not an ugly one yet. ( If She ever made an ugly Fairy house , it would probably be for Ugly Fairies.) ✨👍👍✨🧚♀️🧚♂️
@@emmalove135 Actually, I do follow Susan, but I really got the bug now that I'm doing this with my grandkids. Thanks for the tip, though. I got my clay from the local stores. Hobby Lobby had the best selection and prices. Baking is becoming somewhat of an issue. I have to do it at my house instead of my daughter's where the magic takes place. My son-i-law has a mildly violent reaction to the fumes. I don't smell anything.:) Thanks again for your advice.
Heya, Sally! I got a pack of cutters from here: amzn.to/3AAzL9a and a lot of my cutters are modified from a set of round cutters that I got here: amzn.to/3m8BjDt
Yvonne, this is a very well done leaf tutorial!!! Thank you! Tip to keep your long strip from wandering back and forth on the rollers. Corral it in. Place the strip at one end of the rollers against the frame then, on the other side of the strip, place a "jig" to hold the strip in place. The jig can be anything that will sit on the rollers without getting caught between them or rolling around itself. You can make your own jig with scrap clay. The jig will need to be stabilized so the clay can't move it out of the way. Anything that doesn't get caught between the rollers that goes from the jig to the other side of the frame works. Desiree has a tutorial for making a jig and uses magnets to keep the jig in place. I made my jig much smaller. desiredcreations.com/howTo_TLPMNarrower.htm
I’ve had a look and it looks nifty. Only thing I’d be worried about is the magnets putting tiny scratches on the bars as it rolls etc which would cause problems later on.
I really appreciate how you go slow for beginners and don’t assume we know what comes next. I also love how you leave in things like dog hair removal! That’s real life and makes me feel better about all the dog hair that incorporates itself into my projects.

Thank you so much!
Your giggles are infectious. I love that, and I also love that you take the time too truly show how much time it takes.

Yes! I haven't tried that technique, but a lot of polymer clay techniques have their roots in glass working!
This is so fascinating! Love it!

hehe, thanks, Frances!
Hi Yvonne, your rolling pin is so clear, how do you clean your tools?
Hey, Diana! I use baby wipes or rubbing alcohol on blue shop towels ❤
Ok, thanks... have a great week..
I'm just getting into polymer clay, and I want to get the tools that I need. What is the cutting tool (long one) that you use, and where can I get one? BTW you are my crafting idol. :)
Duh, I didn't scroll down until the video was over. Never mind.

Cool colors,were can I get the clay from?
Hi Von, can you tell me where I can get a blade with handles on the ends like you have?
Your so cute. 🥰
:p thanks Margie!
Really enjoyed your tutorial. You're real and funny enough, down to Earth. Liked and subscribed 😊
Wow where did you purchase all your cutters?
Heya, Sally! I got a pack of cutters from here: amzn.to/3AAzL9a and a lot of my cutters are modified from a set of round cutters that I got here: amzn.to/3m8BjDt
When you cut the blend roll in half it looked like dirt with grass. Oh the happy accidents. 😊
👌👌👍👍👍
Wait! Add dirt/grass layer to your jewelry box!!!
ooo! That would be so neat!
Try using a blow dryer
Right on! I'll have to try that!
Leaf design
Can’t you just roll it really flat, without a pasta machine?
Cut the video in half.
Nice excuse for not wanting to do the editing. Too much work huh.
Where do you buy your metal cutters?
Yvonne, this is a very well done leaf tutorial!!! Thank you!
