Polymer Clay Tutorials Round Up
Posted on — Leave a comment
Every week I pin oodles of great polymer clay tutorials on Pinterest. Some of these polymer clay tutorials have been shared by groups, some I’ve found on my RSS feeds, some I’ve stumbled on through Pinterest. In any case, I thought I’d take my “Tutorial Tuesday” to share with you some of the great tutorials that are out there. Next week, I will bring you another cute free tutorial that you can make in your own studio!

Polymer Clay Millefiori Cane Tutorial
This week for the 52 Weeks of Canes, one of our projects was the pixelated retro cane. This pixelated retro cane tutorial originated from Bettina Welker. I in no way, shape, or form came up with this design idea on my own. This being said, please see Bettina’s highly detailed tutorial here.

WIP Wednesday
Inside My Busy Polymer Clay Studio
Well, today would have been day 10 without an internet connection. Last week, in our sub-zero temperatures, our (and 93 other people) internet conked out … and never came back on. For the first few days I was okay. Then came the house cleaning, reading novels, & so much studio time. I forgot what it was like to be super-productive.

…A Lot I’ve Learned From Others…
Do you ever look at something so long that it starts to look funny or sound funny to you? Well, as I was writing this post, “work in progress” began to look rather humorous to me. Why? Well … because I’m not showing anything today that’s “in progress” but rather “done with progress” if you will!

Welcome back! This tutorial is part 2 for the caned poinsettia project. You can find part one here.
There are lots of different ways to make a leaf cane, I can think of 4 different ways off the top of my head. I made this leaf cane the way shown in this worksheet because I wanted the gradient side portions. Most of the details are an exact copy of the way you completed your petal canes for the first part of your tutorial.

First, there is no right or wrong way to make this cane. I make it differently than some people, and I know that some people will make it differently than me. That’s okay. Once you can get the Skinner Blend mastered, it’s all a matter of using your sculpting skills to gently “persuade” the clay to do what YOU want it to do.
