    4:16 Whew...I literally stopped breathing with eyes wide. You sailed through that bump like a true champ! I remember when I started my first business about your age and I had designed a 10-page document completely and totally lost the file. I was crushed for an hour and then picked myself up and the second version was SO much better. Love your Fall 2.0 as well! You are building SO much wisdom in such a short period of time. It's so inspiring even for a 54-yo lifetime entrepreneur. Cheers! Ok...back to the video...

    A lot of times, I watch UA-cam videos on my phone in the background of my life (while cooking or cleaning etc). For your videos, I make sure I have time to sit down, watch it full screen on my laptop and never find myself distracted by my phone. I just love them so much!!! Thank you so much for bringing us beautiful, inspiring, relaxing content. You've been posting so much too! Be sure to take a break sometime ❤❤❤

    You’re not a dummy, please be kind to yourself in the words that you speak, as being hard on yourself is a pattern I’ve noticed while watching you...
    that type of adaptability and positivity after making a mistake, is an extremely admirable trait ✨
    My babies watch you with me, and we think you’re just wonderful.
    You’ve come so far, and for the right reasons. You haven’t given up on your dream, and you are so humble and thoughtful-despite being uncomfortable. What a wonderful thing to alchemize what could have held you back, into something that brings abundance, despite the challenges.
    I hope you are as proud of yourself, as I am of you. 🧡

    I have been loving your vlogs so much. I don't even do polymer clay but I still enjoy your videos just for relaxation and entertainment. I especially love watching you craft. I wondered if you'd consider letting there be a little more dead space/pauses in your speaking. I feel like your old vlogs were more that way and it felt a bit more relaxing and natural. Now I can see you making the cuts a lot so that you are always speaking and there's no dead space and I find it a little more intense/tiring that way. I know probably a lot of people want the whole "hurry up and make your point" approach or they'll leave, but if anyone else out there is like me, I actually prefer a little dead space in between that's more like natural human interaction. Whatever you end up doing, I'll be sure to keep watching, I do love your videos!

    Tip for applying the paperlike: do it in the bathroom a few minutes after taking a shower. The humidity settles the dust and you don‘t have so many particles flying around, hence you get less to no air bubbles. 😊
    (Did I forget about this when applying my paperlike on my new iPad a few months back? Yes, indeed. So now I try to keep that tip in my head by sharing it occasionally 😂)

    Hi Tammy! I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and have been catching up on videos since then. I think what you do is really cool and amazing and so inspirational. I’m sorry your sculptures fell/broke. But I’m glad you didn’t risk picking them up, burning yourself and injuring your hands. And if you were able to improve on existing designs then it was probably for the best.
    Have fun with the new camera. As you can prob tell from my username, I love photography. Hope to see some of your images soon. You’re inspiring me to tap back into my creative side more…and I thank you for that. Congrats on the new equipment. Looking forward to your next video! 😊
