In this 6 part video tutorial series, you will learn how to create three different polymer clay journal covers using several mixed media techniques. You will also learn many tips, tricks and techniques that you can use to create your own unique style of art journal. The ideas and techniques can not only be used for the projects I demonstrate in this tutorial series, but also for other home decor and jewelry projects as well.

So excited to see this tutorial. Love the different techniques - the journal covers are awesome. You're fabulous! Cindy really inspires us, doesn't she?

Wow Cindy! How do you have time to do all of this?! Amazing tute once again!! Thank you so much!


~Karen-K


You've done it again. You bring on my sunshine amid all that rain (flooded here in UK). Makes me want to do one for my own special mate, although he's passed and departed, it's never too late. SO, I'll say it again, CINDY your journals are GREAT. Thank you!


~Elaine-F


Cindy - my mind is in a whirl. Have to think which way I want to go!! Mixed media is so much fun. Anything goes. Thank you for leading us through this new way to express ourselves. This is soooooooooo freeingggggggggggggg!

I am a newbie to both polymer clay and this site, and am totally awed, amazed, and inspired! This Vol-068 Tutorial is wonderful. Very loose and freewheeling. I love how you anticipate our questions and provide the answers like magic, even before we have to ask. Thank you!


~Fran-V


I love the journal covers. Elaine your poem is very creative!


~Kelly-B


Oh I am just squealing with delight over this tutorial. I have seen others make these and have always wanted to make one. I'm still keeping notes in an old spiral notebook that must be 30 yrs. old, but the wealth of information I have in it covers many different Crafts.


~DixieAnn-S


Really enjoyed the journal tute, and I liked the letter T stamped sideways on the clay. You showed a nice variation of techniques. It is amazing that you have time to journal and scrapbook. When do you sleep?


~Anna-S


Cindy, you have out done yourself again :) This Journal Cover Tutorial is overflowing with amazing ideas and tips. Thanks for all the hard work you and Doug put into these.


~Sherry-L


Thank You for doing this tutorial!!! I never could get mine to work and you showed me my errors!!

I’ve been wanting to take the Bead & Button Show "Fundamentals of Polymer Clay" 3 Day Class, but it is so expensive. And with my Fibromyalgia and other health issues, I didn’t think I'd be able to sit through 3 days and retain all the info. Then I found your site and discovered that this is the way to learn.


~Marianne-H


With your online classes Cindy, I can sit at home and learn a little at a time with no time restrictions. I can also go back to instructions when needed, and see up close what to do. Plus I can ask any questions and get almost instant feedback from you and/or other members of the PCT Family. Thank you.


~Marianne-H


Cindy - I really love your site! In fact I love it so much that I purchased the rest of the back issue Volumes. I love your teaching style and clear videos. I’ve already learned so much more from you, than I would from any 3 day class. Thank you.


~Marianne-H


Before I joined this Polymer Clay Tutor Community, I watched as many free tuts as I could find. In comparison, I want to say that one of your great skills is knowing just what people really need to understand, in order to accomplish the projects that you teach. I believe I am going to have many years of fun and joy here.


~Fran-V


Also, and to me this is the most important thing, you have a way of encouraging and inspiring to bring out our own creativity. I am one of those people who gets crippled by her own fears when it comes to expressing myself in creative ways. Your ease and manner and judgement-free style, are very supportive.


~Fran-V


My goodness Cindy, you have outdone yourself a thousand times and more with this set of videos. My mind is spinning. Your dedication to us is astounding. Your love for art shows thru in what you teach. You don't charge nearly enough for the privilege (for indeed it is a privilege) to be a part of this group.


~Sandra-J


In all honesty I do not know how or where you find the time to do all that you do. In this video series alone, there must have been oodles of hours that went into it. No wonder you delayed a week. I sincerely hope you do take time for yourself and your family. Take care.


~Sandra-J


This has been one of my favorite projects yet! Ok so yes, my cover curled up in the oven because I left it on a file folder that had gotten wet, so the end result might not be as great as it would have been... but there's definitely going to be a next time and a next one after that.


~Katy-R


The process of creating this, was just as Cindy said... so freeing and carefree and fun! I didn't worry about precise stamp impressions, I antiqued, I splashed various colors on all over the place, I even stamped impressions over other stamped impressions! I just went wild and crazy and had the best time!


~Katy-R


On top of that I learned tons, of course, about the different techniques and tips and variations etc... and I also learned loads about how various things would react while actually playing with them! I finally broke out my alcohol inks and used them for something other than tinting clay!


~Katy-R


Anyway I can't ramble on much more because I've got to get back to work... (PLAY!) Who couldn't love playing in polymer clay??? Thanks again Cindy for another hit of a tutorial! And thanks for the inspiring message that comes with this Journal Cover project!
