Vol-054 Faux Jasper Stone Cabochons for Beads Pendants Veneer Slab Jewelry

Hi Cindy, I'm loving learning from you. Your way of teaching makes claying fun again. I'm hooked on the best drug around... Polymer Clay and your Tutorials! What a way to live and love in the South. Thanks again for your help with getting my account straightened out. You rock!

~Susan-R

Cindy, your Faux Jasper video series did strange things to me... it made me so very happy! I have used it two or three times lately and have gotten some beautiful results. You do affect people's lives in a positive manner. Keep doing it! Sincerely.

Hi Cindy, I love your videos on making a faux jasper cabochon. You explain things very well, and don't skip any steps. It is an absolute joy to watch you work. I feel like I just attended a class I should have paid $100 for. Your work is truly amazing.

~Karen-R

I LOVE working with clay! I love learning, and your tutorials are so fantastically detailed and clear and you end up with such lovely things! I am SO pleased with my decision to invest in myself and my new(ish) love of polymer clay through your tutorials!

Cindy, I've been busy all day sanding a batch of faux green Australian Jasper. Your tutorial on this was outstanding! Thanks so much for all of your wonderful work for us! Now I won't have to buy my Jasper at AC Moore anymore... :)

~Michelle-L

So many color combinations of the Jasper! I fell in love with the Rain Forest Jasper, so am going to dive right in and try it. My first priority however is to make that fabulous buffing wheel you had on your Dremel!

~DixieAnn-S

Cindy, thank you so much for the tutorial on making the Jasper beads. I can't stop, I've made beads, buttons... I love them! So many different looks. Can't wait for the next batch to come out of the oven.

~Margo-A

I'm also going to try making faux blue impression jasper, as it's currently my favourite form of the stone. It'll take a bit of adaptation but you've inspired me!

~Sue-F

Loved the tutorial! I've made a lot of jewelry with jasper and I love combining them with other stones. The red jasper you made was just gorgeous. I have a few of your tutorials that I just have to get done - they are all wonderful, but I also have my favorites and this is one of them.

~Cheri-H

Cindy - Absolutely stunning leaf! And the cabochon with the knitted wire technique - how funny that it looks like a pink sailboat on the sea. Thanks!

~Maria-C

I haven’t used any cabochons in my designs, but I just love jasper beads in all their beautiful array of colours and shapes.

~Monique-U

I've just finished some of Cindy's projects for my friends and family and am so proud… there is so much stuff Cindy teaches...a person could read up on this stuff, but Cindy puts it all together so well with her videos that you won't need to... I love her!

~Patty-J

Oooh, they are gorgeous, Cindy. Bliss, bliss, bliss… Thanks to all, Lietz family. I cannot stop rewatching the series, and I see something new every viewing. The tute is fabu!

~Jocelyn-C

Right up my alley!

~Michelle-L

WOW I love Jasper!

~Jeanne-C

Fabulous tutorial Cindy! I stayed up to 12:05 a.m. because I was so curious as to how these faux Jasper cabochons were made. Great stuff you have here!

~Elsie-S

Beautiful. 

~Teresa-D

Great tutorial - thank you. 

~Cara-L

Wow! Another cool tute!! I will make these for sure. I think once the holidays get behind us I will have a lot of free time to get lost in clay. Going to research the different colors of Jasper! 

~Catalina-L

Looooooooved this tutorial!

~Marcela-S

Very, very nice, Cindy! :D I love your faux brecciated jasper, the colours are gorgeous and the patterning is stunning! It'll be fun to make some donuts using your technique, and I have trouble getting large slab-shaped beads in real jasper so I might make some of them too.

~Sue-F

I must say, I love your work and the videos! Keep the good work going.

~Ida-L

Cindy - This video was exactly what I have been looking for. You went from start to finish and even included the sanding and buffing! You also discussed how much you can sell them for finished versus unfinished. You are a great teacher and mentor. Please keep the videos coming. Thanks.

~Cindy-P

Wow Cindy the Jasper tute was excellent! It was interesting that you didn't have to rinse after each sanding... always a pain to get fresh soapy water for each change of grit. Thanks so much for that! I was surprised at how much I learned from this tute in regards to buffing and sanding.

~DixieAnn-S

Cindy - Great tutorial! Your videos are my guilty pleasure... I get a cup of coffee first thing in the AM and check them out. Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication to your art.

~Christine-A

I have always loved true Jasper, and I felt I should be able to make acceptable polymer look-alikes. Thanks for the confidence you impart by sharing your method.

~Pam-M

Thank you guys so much for your hard work, I benefit so much from your videos. You are a blessing in my life. I am making lots jasper, and in sanding I found that using those rubber finger tips (that you use to sort paperwork with) really helps.

~Rosy-S

I have watched Cindy's videos for a long time, and I have found the information invaluable. It is really worth the very reasonable price, she is very skilled at showing you everything step by step. I have created many stones using polymer clay, and can play the videos over and over until I get it.

~Ifama-J 

Cindy you really are a gem (couldn’t resist that). A big thank you, and I swear I picked up your thoughts a couple of weeks ago as I shopped for black pepper, paprika and other spices (and they were not even on special offer!). Love, love faux stones, and “Agate” was on my list to do.

~Elaine-F 

WOW these are Awesome! Another wonderful reason to join this site - you ask a question and... Ta Da! you get an answer - Love it!

~Sherry-L

Love your videos!
