    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!

    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 UA-cam 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.

      I credit Susan/TSB channel for turning me into a polyclay junkie! All my disposable income and free time goes into practicing clay...I started a year ago and gave up swearing that one day I would at least try and become familiar with the basics...then I heard these brilliant gems of wisdom (paraphrased) "if it's not perfect, don't worry about it...It's only clay! What's the worse that can happen? Scrap clay/bead filler... It's okay if you make a mistake, the polymer clay police are not allowed in your studio!!!!"
      Susan if you ever read this, I just wanna let you know I'm about three months back into polymer clay and I've practised nearly every day and I'm getting better and my goal is to really become a true blue polymer clay jewelry artiste!!! God bless you, Madame, you're the best thing that ever happened to turn this former polyclay flunkie into a polyclay junkie!!!

    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.
