Vol-057 Faux Labradorite Stone Veneer Slab Pendant Necklace Earrings

Cindy, as a newbie to poly clay, and after finding your amazing website, I vote to create a 'love' button for your videos ... maybe 'fantastic' or 'amazing' ... all would certainly apply!

Hi Cindy: Faux Labradorite happens to be one of my favorite stones. Just seeing it in your video and the sanded/buffed version whetted my appetite to create it in polymer clay. Keep up the videos, love the ideas!

~Pauline-D

Love it when we get to learn how to do Faux stones. I wasn't much on sanding until I joined Cindy's video's and found out how much it made the quality of my work so much better. I'm getting another year with the Art Museum for selling my jewelry! Hurray!

Oh Cindy - these Labradorites are just beautiful!!!! So much time and effort goes into these tutorials. Thank You, thank you. With the Pantone colors this year - they fit right in. How great is that?

I recently discovered polymer clay whilst on a jewellery course, and am now totally addicted. Cindy’s tutorials are invaluable. They allow me to learn at my own pace, usually late at night. A great escape from my day job as a nurse caring for people with Dementia and Alzheimer's.

After looking up some Labradorite images online, and comparing them to Cindy's faux version, it is amazing how well she duplicated it with polymer clay. Thanks to Jocelyn for sending you that photo.

Hi all - Wanted to pop in and say WOW! Loved making this FUN faux labradorite!! (it's on the counter cooling off). Thank You Cindy for creating such a Wonderful tutorial AND Thank You Jocelyn for putting Cindy's imagination on this path :D ... now I'm off to sand my piece.

I was amazed on reading about the healing properties of Labradorite (a difficult stone to pronounce), and I giggled along with you Cindy, nearly as difficult to say as, Swarovski. Canadian Innuit legend has it... that Labradorite got it's name when Northern Lights once got trapped in the rocks off the coast of Labrador.

Thoroughly enjoyed this set of videos! In Finland there is a lot of Labradorite, and your version is pretty close to the real McCoy. We also have the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) or Revontulet as we call them here.

Thanks to everyone for helping me to master this translucent labradorite technique, it turned out perfect! Cindy, you were right, rolling the clay only as much as needed was the key. I used Pardo this time, had very few air bubbles and even baked it upside down so if there were any, they would go to the bottom.

~DixieAnn-S

I love it! You hit a home run again, Cindy and Doug!

~Becky-C

This is a really beautiful technique, Cindy, with lots of useful tricks that can be applied to other things. Your method for making the striations is particularly clever! I love faux stones and surface effects - and it’s a real treat to get two of 'my' kinds of tutorials in a row. Many thanks! :D

~Sue-F

My dear dear Cindy, Thank you sooo much for helping me get my account figured out. So grateful... thank you for your patience. I don't know how you do all what you do and still manage to keep your sunny personality. You are my hero, lol. Yours truly from cold, but sunny Sudbury, Ontario. Come visit sometime!

~Melodie-F

I love being able to view your videos on my iPad, cause I can have it with me all the time, so I can do whatever it is Cindy is teaching. Love that I can stop and start the videos as I need.

~Linda-H

Cindy - thanks for your help with my account. I enjoy your videos too much to ever give them up.

~Linda-S

Your video instructions for the Faux Labradorite tutorial are very clear. Thank you Cindy.

~Victoria-C

Thanks so much for doing your videos like this for us Cindy. They are priceless!

~Debi-S

I would love to see you make more faux gemstones. Your Labradorite is so like the real thing. I was amazed.

~DixieAnn-S

You seem like someone I would like to know personally. And that is important, because by now I have so many of your videos it seems I invite you into my home every day! I almost want to make you tea while you’re here
