I decided to buy Sophie's book "Tout sur… les bijoux en pate polymere" and it arrived this week. What a wonderful addition to my other clay books. I was surprised just how much I understood. It will still be a challenge as it has been many years since I've used what little French I knew so will have to use Google interpretor or the like at times and that will be fun in its own way. It will be after the first of the year before I try any of the projects there but am looking forward to it. Thanks again, Cindy, for passing on the information.

I can't wait to have a go at this — you make it look so easy! Many thanks for yet another wonderful technique so clearly explained.

I opened up the extruder and put one disk of clay over the adapter pin and voila' flower cane. I didn't use clay with enough contrast but at least now I can duplicate the idea. Thanks so much for sharing the link!

I got so excited when I saw the technique. Ran to my studio and set it all up. No matter how much I extrude it just comes out 4 ugly little strands. It just won't make one. Guess I am going to have to wait for the video from Cindy.

As it turns out, my suggestion to create a video tutorial for you guys about this extruder flower cane technique, caused a bit of stir. The issue was about giving credit where credit is due, which I can totally understand... and which I have absolutely no problem with at all. In fact, I think it is very important to acknowledge the accomplishments of others as much as possible. This is why I provided direct links in my article above, to both Galina's Russian blog, as well as to Nathalie in France at the Parole de pate site. Now since the Internet does such a great job of keeping things open book or above board, I had the opportunity to dialog with Galina yesterday. I was so relieved to find out that her command of the English language is very good! The link by my name will take you directly to Galina's blog where you can read what we discussed. Everything is fine now and Galina has given her blessing for me to proceed with my video tutorial. Thank you Galina. The last thing I want is for other polymer clay artists to be upset with my teachings. So all of you can look forward to seeing this video in early December (Vol-019). I'm going to base my tutorial on Galina's approach, which does not require the core adapter that Nathalie uses. I think Nathalie's method is great too, but I know many of you do not have a core adapter for your extruder at this point. Besides... you know me... I like to keep things as simple and easy as possible. Stay tuned...
