    Do any of you keep old watches just because you hope that you will have a idea to use them ?

      hi Susan, I kept them, because I wanted to wear them again. I did put new batteries in it every time, but it didn't seem to work. Now I know why I kept them for all those years :-)

      I keep mine too! I thought I was the only one, lol! I’m so glad to know that you, and other crafters, save/hoard weird/odd things too! Thank you for the great ideas as well!

    I have some small Victorian photographs of women in fabulous flamboyant hats that I didn't know what to do with. This could be the perfect answer. Thank you Susan for your time and patience

    Mrs. Susan, you create the most beautiful jewelry. Your polymer clay videos, when UA-cam first suggested them to me, were flabbergasting to me. I had no idea. And 2 years later I am still learning, and continue to be grateful that you take the time to help us! We had a diversion along the way. No worries! When I close my eyes, I can see more than before! Thank you! Blessings and Re Jouir -Darlene

    I made one out of a tiny women's dress watch, the face was smaller than a dime. I used a tiny little charm of a swallow on a sky background and UV resin. The magnifying effect of the resin on the little charm is awesome. It was highly detailed but very cheaply made. This way I get to love the symbolism of the swallow (they always come home, year after year) without it getting bent or the gold tone finish wearing off.

    I love love love your videos! Am giggling, as a wire artist I did smile when you said you weren't one; I am not an accomplished clay artist as you are so balances! I have used your techniques to make dragon scales and pods which turned out beautifully. I am working (finally) on the box of old watches I have. Keep sharing your talents-- thank you!

    Well what a treat, 2 videos from Susan. Thank you ! After a weekend of 12 hour shifts, I can relax now and watch your videos. The best part is I’m off for a week so can try these out😁. I am so very grateful to you for taking the time over the months to make these so we can learn and get inspiration from you beautiful pieces. We are expecting snow ☃️next week, we are in a lockdown, so the best thing to do is make these😁 perfect solution! Take care Susan.💕🐾🇬🇧⭐️

    Your videos are seriously so calming to me. Here I am sitting in a RIDICULOUSLY LONG LINE at the pharmacy, because apparently ppl here at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA refuse to get their lives together even tho we’re on MONTH 11 OF COVID. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
    Sitting in my car (I’ve been in this line for 4 hours now!!) binging on Susan & her calming voice watching the artist at work. 🌟💕

    Now I know what to do with all the old watch faces that I have. I have seen the ones where they put photos in them, which would only work for someone who knows the person in the photo. This project will make it work for anyone, great idea, you have more talent then any one person should be allowed to have. If one color looks good, make one in every color Lol! :)

    i would be hard pressed to pick a favorite tutorial from you but this one has to be near the top. Not only have it collected broken watches to use but my mom has given me her watch pieces collection as well, now that she is moving to assisted living. I think I will make her a pendant.

So it's truly serendipity and my lucky day that I found you. Your creations are extraordinary. Thank you - for the beauty you create, the inspiration, and the lightening of my heart.

    Hi Susan. I really didn't think I was going to like this tutorial. I was just thinking old junky watches...Well, you have never disappointed before and I am glad I watched the tutorial! These are simply beautiful! I like your style girl! You repurpose things all the time, never making it feel cheap or junky. Some people just glue an egg carton to a can and call it "art". You don't. I cannot tell you how many stashes I have now of things I used to throw away. Pieces of cardboard, things that make pretty textures...Thank you. This is just another one of your great creations. Thank you for sharing. Now, to go look through my watches...
