I tried the Gerbera Flower cane, and it’s the most beautiful cane I’ve made yet! I’m looking forward to seeing more of them. I just love all your videos! I never thought of making beads with my polymer clay canes until I found your website.

@Stephanie: I was away for a few days and that was why I hadn’t responded to your email yet. Thankfully Jocelyn answered your question quite beautifully. Although there are usually videos on each Friday, our software in the video library only accounts for there being 4 weeks a month. Which means, every once in awhile when there is a month with 5 Fridays, there won’t be a regular tutorial video. We do try to make that week fun still, by doing something else… like showing a different video, having a special article, adding recipes, etc. so you aren’t disappointed. Glad to hear you love the videos so much that you can’t miss a single one though! :-)

@Jocelyn: Thank you so much for helping out Stephanie!! I appreciate that very much! I am sending you virtual hugs right now, for all your help! :-)

Also, this link below gives a video today different from the norm:
Polymer Clay Tutor Interview Video

It’s fun to see Cindy, the whole person, in this one, LOL! Hope this helps you out.

The first cane I ever made was of an eye ball! I decided that would be really cool. Since I didn’t have a clue how to really build a cane, it did come out pretty well. But, what do you do with an eye ball? I think I’ll stick with flowers for now. :)

@Jocelyn: Thank you so much for your comment! As an experienced clayer who has seen a lot of tutorials, it means a lot to hear your comments. Someone new to clay may not notice the little tips that will make their lives easier. They may just assume that is how everyone does it. Thank you for pointing that out. I do try very hard to make things as easy as possible for people.

@Joyce: I love your comment. How could you know what to ask if you don’t know what is going wrong? I am so glad the tutorial solved some problems for you!

@Melinda: I am so glad you said that! I just can’t bear to use 13lbs of clay (trust me I’ve seen a cane that big) on one cane design. If you made a living selling canes, that would make sense, but most people don’t do that. Plus as a beginner to cane making, why would you want to spend $50 on one cane that could turn out ugly? Better to make a tiny cane that you can flatten if it is ugly and roll into a cool flower center cane! Pleased to hear you’re so happy with the tutorials! :-)

@Catherine: Thank you so much for your comment! I feels really good to hear you are getting such good value from the videos! I can’t wait to see your beads and do a spotlight on you!

*For those of you who do not know what a Spotlight is, it is a feature where we ‘spotlight’ one of our member’s polymer clay projects inspired by the video tutorials. If you want to see the most recent spotlight feature of Rob Kerfoot’s work, click the Rock Tumbler link by my name.
