I used a Pasta Machine dedicated to Polymer Clay use to create blends and condition the clay. If you do not have a pasta machine, you can condition the clay by hand, by cutting it into slices, and then rolling the clay in your hands until it becomes soft and malleable. If you want to create sheets of clay, roll the clay between two even stacks of playing cards to get an even thickness in your sheet of clay. Settings 9 and 8 on my machine are 1 playing card thickness (0.15 and 0.25mm), setting 7 and 6 are 2 cards thick (0.33 and 0.5mm), setting 5 is 3 cards (0.75mm), setting 4, 4 cards (1mm), setting 3 is 5 cards (1.5mm), setting 2 is 6 cards (2mm), setting 1 is 7 cards (2.25mm) and setting 0 is 8 cards (2.5mm) thickness.🙂
This is such an informative tutorial (truthfully every tutorial of yours that I have watched have been excellent) I particularly like the fact that you give alternative ideas for anyone who might not have the same tools that you do. Another point that you make is that not all canes will look the same and that is so true. I could follow any cane tutorial step by step down to same colors and polymer clay and my cane will turn out differently. Thank you. I do learn quite a lot and,frankly, it gives me confidence to keep experimenting.
Fiona, every cane you make, I think "this is my absolute favorite"! And then your next one makes everything else pale in comparison! This one is no exception! I can't think of enough adjectives to describe how marvelous this creation is! You have such an eye for color and design! Thank you for sharing this tutorial with us!
Fiona these are wonderful and fascinating to see how the look can be changed. Thank you so much for your precise descriptions and instructions - really helpful. Have a beautiful day.
Wow Fiona! I love how different each one looks. It definitely opens up so many variations. I want to try this! You are so talented, thank you so much for sharing!
Absolutely, stunning work. I have not seen one of your video's that hasn't shocked me with how very gifted you are. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.❤❤😊❤❤
I Love your videos! I even bought the Trellis PDF and loved it! I also bought the Hexagon set (plus a LOT more!) and am making boxes and bowls! Thanks for all you do for those of us who need a gentle nudge in the right direction!!!
Thank you 😍I am so happy you like the tutorials and are having fun with bowls and boxes, wonderful 🙃 Thanks so much, and carry on having fun with Polymer Clay 🙂
Thank you for this great video! May I request that you show the process of putting the clay through the pasta machine? 🙏 I m not that good at imagining!
Thanks so much, If you look at the two videos I mention in this one, the conditioning clay and Skinner Blend ones, they both show me using the pasta machine. I do also show it in some of the other tutiruals I do, but don't do it all the time as the vast majority of people who follow my tutorials know how to do that part. But thanks so much for your feedback, I will do another one soon where I show it again, for those who haven't yet seen it 🙂
This is so beautiful, I love your tutorials. You explain everything so very well! Goind to try this today! Again, thanks for all your hard work and sharing your designs.💌
Patch pocket was a good choice, but if I had a little see -thru fabric left, I would have put the see-thru on top of the blue patch pocket. This would make the pocket a highlight of the whole design.😂 Keep going girl it slowly gets easier.
Its so weird that how easy u make the cane making process looks so easy 😢 cause mine definitely doesn't look like urs 🤦 but as usual, a beautiful tutorial ❤❤❤ thank you ❤❤❤
I am sure yours is beautiful, and of course it shouldn't look exactly like mine as every cane will be different. Remember we are all our own worst critics, and that if you show your cane to someone else they will probably go 'wow' and be so impressed by what you have created. I am glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
