I really enjoyed the happy camper lesson! Good to see such a complex cane done. LOVED how you made the polka dot cane with the new extruder disks! I had been wondering about a way to make a dot cane and this is way better than anything I'd come up with!

I am very excited about these new disks and how Cynthia Tinapple designed them to work with each other to produce some wonderful designs. Thank you so much for showing us all the possibilities with this new set.

So many memories of going camping as a little kid came rushing back with this tutorial - and for that I thank you guys. Totally happy moment happening right now! just ordered my very own polka dot die set from Cynthia Tinapple's site.

What an adorable concept for a cane! We lived just down the road from a campsite in the sixties, and enjoyed watching all manners of campers cruising down Route 1 to the site. They all made me smile then, and watching the instructions and variations kept a big grin on my face through the whole tute.

Hi Cindy, I just love your tutorials and wish we could meet in person some day. Your videos are just superb and very easy to understand, even for a beginner like me. I wish you could come to Mumbai (India) and share your great work with art and craft lovers here. Amen!

Hi Cindy. Just wanted to say thank you for this wonderful video tutorial. I have been glued to my computer for the last few days after becoming a member, and have been able to get so many wonderful tutorials from your site. My only problem is that I can't buy them all right now!!! Thanks again.

Wow! This is cute. It so reminds me of our trailer when I was young. We took it out camping only once! My mom thought it was too much work with four kids and not enough "fun" for her! So, my dad sold it :( Now, maybe a little campfire cane to go with it!! :)


~Catalina-L


Thank you so much Cindy for showing us Cynthia's extruder discs. I'm especially delighted with the tiny square. I wrote to you about this just a few weeks ago saying how a tiny square would be a real boon and here you are demonstrating it!

I have been working with polymer clay for a very long time. I've taken a lot of classes and know most methods, but like to brush up and love your tutorials! I am excited about the "Happy camper" video that is so cute! I look forward to a lovely, long exchange between us! It's going to be just great! Be well.


~Joy-D


For years, we camped with our 3 kids and 3 of their friends. Yep, six kids. What fun. The grown kids still talk about out trips!! What a fun reminder this can will be, with this Camper Cane Tutorial!! Grin.


~Patt-W


Cindy you have a way of explaining things that have helped me understand. Thank you for that. I have searched the web over and you have been my most favorite to go to!


~Stephanie-S


Cindy, this is a darling cane for a camper. It gives one a good idea as to how these types are taken apart and put back together. An excellent beginning project for anyone who wants to learn this process including me.


~DixieAnn-S 


Wow that is so cool! Impressive!


~Sandra-J


I predict that pieces made from this cane will be a big seller during the summer months. It screams vintage. Thank you Cindy and Doug for bringing such a happy memory back into my life!


~Jocelyn-C


Cindy, thank you for being such a generous teacher and sharing your fabulous ideas with us. I am very grateful to have found your web site and have already learned so much from your videos. Thanks again. A very happy camper... LOL.
