You are a darling, thank you for sharing your talents with your viewers, doll. Im 46 years young and have finally found a hobby that looks incredibly fun, but difficult (the miniature world) however i am going to give it a go and enjoy my spare time making these little gems. You are such an inspiration. Great work, young lady 😊

This is an excellent video! As a beginner it has given me the information and tips to get going. I especially love the tips on using alternative tools if you haven’t yet purchased the real ones! thank you and I’m excited to get started!

@lisathomas1622 Год назад

Some people are natural teachers and leaders, that would be you young lady. Your presentation is thorough and easy to follow. You have many great skills. Thank you for sharing your perspective. If I were your parent I would be very proud. In another video you said “to their dismay” you made this into a business… they’d prefer you be unhappy doing what they want? I hope you never ever follow that option to please someone else. It’s your life. If they don’t realize the contribution to the world you’re making with this, please inform them I have spent many hours with children making art, and your videos are the ones I use with them to make inspired clay creations, even when we’re not using polymer clay. Your videos are well organized and the kids love that you’re young and started out young. You’re a true inspiration to your peers.

Thank you so much for your bravery to make videos teaching polymer clay art tips and methods! You are so young--I wish you every happiness and success in all your endeavors! I am glad you do not pay attention to the old adage "you can't teach an old dog new tricks"! Since I am an oldster at 63, but want to learn all I can from tutorials as a relative newbie to polymer clay art. You are greatly blessed to create so many beautiful food charms and others! Please keep up all the good work--please don't give up--you are truly an inspiration to others like me!! Good luck, and I hope you will have a truly awesome year 2023 !!! 🤩💓🐢🎺🌲🌟🌈

(Skulpy) Hack: if u want to leave a project made out of skulpy (or any softer clay) and come back to it a while later I recommend putting it it the fridge. :)
