Polymer Clay Cane Tutorials on Video – Which Ones To Film Next?

Tribal Cane Designs sounds like it would open up a vast amount of designs so that is my first vote, followed by Faux Stone Canes and
Cookie Cutter Canes. But as always Cindy wherever the most interest lies will be of interest. Thanks for asking.

1. Tribal
2. Animal print
3. Ghost

I too would love to learn the tribal cane, but also how to do a face cane and the kaleidoscope cane which I have tried several times without total success. Like Joyce, I will relish whatever cane tutorials you decide to offer.

BTW I am doing a craft show this week-end and did not have time to log on yesterday. All I can say is WOW! I really missed something beautiful and just wanted to add my thanks for featuring it and also the link to the French site. No time to explore the Russian site yet but I will do that soon. I can't wait to get back in my craft room next week to try this.

Tribal, animal print FOR SURE, faux stone! You're the best!

You know, I am thinking that we may need 2 videos a week. One for the cool clay techniques and one for jewelry (wire working etc). That way we wouldn't have as long a wait for all the cool stuff. Yeah, I think that is a great solution. :)

Here would be my top 5:

extruder
patterned
kaleidoscope
faux stone
cookie cutter or tribal (not sure what either is, so I'll put them down just to find out…lol)

Can't wait to see any! Thanks Cindy!

Tribal, Extruder, Patterned get my votes!!

my choice is the delicate looking flower canes i think they look good with wire-work as well but any canes will do me, the more the better

My picks:
kaleidoscope; extruder – mod flower; tribal; bird & pirate picture canes; mokume gane; cookie cutter; faux stone; animal print

Floral graphic, kaleidoscope, and I'd like more ideas about what to do with my extruder! Thanks, Cindy!

I have to choose? I'm going to have to think about it Cindy.

I was thinking if you just did them in alphabetical order??????

Canes are fabulous and I love them all….. however top of my list is that extruder flower cane from yesterday…. yeah, I had to try it because… well because I just needed to and I definately had a few snags… I solved most of them but I would like to see how you solved them…. you always have fabulous ideas and are so good at that problem solving!

All of 'em..! I think you're going to be busy for a long, long time Cindy… :)

I'd like to see:
1. extruder canes
2. picture canes
3. ghost canes

But I love ALL your videos, so whatever you put up sounds great to me! I agree with Sarahwww, two videos a week would be great! :D We just can't get enough of you, Cindy!

Kaleidoscopes, extruder canes, any type flower, and faux stones are my favorites!

My vote is:

Picture Canes, especially the bird and butterfly
Flower Canes, Realistic

Basically I love anything that has to do with nature, animals, flowers etc.

I think Aims idea of alphabetical order is perfect!!!

Thanks for asking for and listening to our requests, Cindy!

The ones that top my list are:

Kaleidoscope
Extruder
Face
Tribal
Flower
Faux stone
Ghost

although I'll be happy to see them coming in any order!

Have you ever done a tutorial on Faux Bargello? It fascinates me. I've found a tutorial or two, but it just seems like there should be a more clear way to do this. Hugs, Sue C

All of the above……I am really a cane clutz and enjoy your spin on doing them on your videos, I know…practice, practice, and more practice ;-)

Cindy,
I am hooked on Polymer Clay and your website. I have purchased almost all of your video lessons and have learned sooooooo much. I would LOVE to have a tutorial for precise hole piercing. I have created alot of square or rectangle shaped 'bracelet' beads, but have a problem with the holes not meeting uniformly. As a result of this problem, I have a bracelet that is a huge disappointment and I get discouraged. But, I get over it and 'clay' again. Maybe if I get some more tutoring on this technique, I would have success.

Here are a few from the list that I'd like to see:
tribal
flower (realistic)
faux stone
picture canes
rainbow quilt
ghost
kaleidoscope

Thanks a bunch Cindy! Very excited for the upcoming videos!

Hi Cindy. My choice is kaleidoscope canes, extruder canes and picture canes, but I would really like to learn all of them. Thank You for giving us a choice, Honey, Beautiful, Sunny, West Palm Beach, Florida

Wow this feedback is fantastic everyone!

Today I received permission from Galina (in Russia), to create a tutorial video for you guys, based on her Extruder Flower Cane Cane technique mentioned in my Nov. 14 blog post.

So I've decided to do that one in December. As far as January, I am working on some tribal cane ideas for that month. Will look over the rest of the preferences for the following canes after that, so stay tuned.

@Cyndig: You would benefit greatly from taking the Polymer Clay Bead Making for Beginners Course. There are 39 videos on everything you need to know on making excellent quality beads, including one on piercing them properly. Click the link by my name for more info on that.

Thank you everyone for all your wonderful comments. I appreciate them a lot!

1. Tribal
2. Faux Stone
3. Ghost (w/white edging)

Any would be interesting but with my interest in learning more about mens style, these would be most useful.

I think you should just put then in a hat and draw one out each week. No matter what you show you know we will all love it. You are just too good Cindy.
Thanks for asking us.

kaleidoscope canes and i can learn from watching any caning technique-
all the best

Hi Cindy,

I would like to see a few different things too. My list:
~animal prints
~picture canes (cat, dog, bird, lion)
~I'm curious about 'cookie cutter canes'?

Thanks for your videos and articles. I am enjoying them.

Hello Cindy,

How about leaves..different kinds :)

I really love the videos, I learned a lot…

Hi Cindy, I would be interested in kaleidoscope, face, flower and ghost canes. I LOVE all of your videos!!!!

Hi Cindy,
I would really like a "signature" cane. I have been trying to make a stamp with my "logo-signature" and it just is not small enough to use on the back of a piece. So, I have been thinking about using a cane that can be reduced with my initials or logo. Would this be of interest to anyone?
Do you think that a Ghost cane could be adapted to this purpose?
Otherwise I like the tribal cane idea best.

P.S.
I looked at Galina's website and an so happy that you are going to do this video. I was really intrigued by this process and started looking for the special extruder disk, but don't know where to find them. The method of doing the process without the special disk really intersts me. I want to try it soon.
Thanks Cindy, for all your experimentation on our behalf. You are the greatest!

I really would love to see
ghost canes
mokume gane canes
picture canes (snowman, bird, butterfly, pirate, fruit, spider canes, etc)
cookie cutter canes (sounds like one I MIGHT be able to do!)

I love all canes – here's my list

flower canes – realistic and graphic
patterned
picture
extruder
face
mokume gane
cookie cutter

Thanks everyone! Your feedback helps so much with the planning process!

@Tina, Stephanie and others: There is a tutorial on simple Ghost canes in Volume-012-4 in the library back issues that you may be interested in.

@Che: There are 4 videos on making simple leaf canes that you may be interested in. Click the link by my name for more info.
