    WOW!!! I've been looking at some beautiful crystals that were set in polymerclay, but since I'm still out of work due to Covid~I haven't been able to purchase any yet. I know this video was posted more than 3 years ago, but you make it look so easy! But like you said; You've been doing it for years! LOL! Think I'll check out your channel to see if you have any more Tutorials & I might just purchase the supplies you recommended & try my hand at creating one myself~Prior to buying one; As I feel it'd be quite special & infused with my own energy & intent! ●HOWEVER● If I don't do so well... Or if I get lazy & don't even attempt it, I'd definitely be Honored to purchase one of your beautiful pieces! ~🙏💙🙏With Much Graditude, Erica🙏💙🙏~

    What would you think of a dichroic coated crystal under your stones? It might reflect its many colors right thru the exposed portion of the crystal. Could be a dramatic effect! Just a thought. Your videos are very fun to watch.

    Loved this, so many possibilities 💡💡💡 thanks for sharing your great creativity. I see you are a lot like me in the way you clean off your equipment while working..... just wipe it off with your other hand. It's extremely convenient but it's exactly how we make ourselves a mess by the end of the project, LOL. No spills or splashes, no drips or drops, no blunders to blame. Sooo how did we get covered?... well mystery solved!🙃 It's like second nature or habit, whatever, but it is definitely how we get polish behind our ear or mica on our forehead or paint anywhere and everywhere 😨and how about that huge blue swipe of leather die across our neck and shoulder.... oh wait that was just me.😪 Anyhoo, I think it is also one of the reasons why the clay was waaay 😍 more attracted to you then to the baked clay (well, besides your stunning beauty and winning personality 😁). Well, I endeavor to change that habit by keeping some form of rag on hand at all times. Now, I always (usually😏) have wet wipes and an piece of old t-shirt I use to wipe my equipment or my hands on. It helps to keep some paper towels and alcohol hand gel in a pump bottle around too.... as you never know when the blue dye will attack again.😰 LOL 😂Thanks again 💙💜💚

I find myself back at you watching you work with polymer Clay and I'm wondering, do you have any ideas on how to make small pendants with gnomes or wizards holding crystals or stones. I've been doing jewelry for 20 years at craft shows and festivals and some of my best sellers were little handmade wizards or gnomes holding stones and crystals and I can't find them anymore I don't know where to buy them so I want to make them myself ...do you have a tutorial on that? these were not red and bright colored gnomes these were Grey with brown coats and dark green hats,beards etc
