Scrap Clay Feather Canes – Now Playing – Polymer Clay Library

“So interesting
what you can do
with leftover canes. I
specially like the pod
beads.” ~Cherie-H

On November 9th, I posted an introductory preview clip for the Feather Canes tutorial.

Today, the full version of this video lesson (Vol-030-2) is available for viewing at the Polymer Clay Members Library. Here is the link:
Use Up Your Old Canes To Make Intricate Looking Feather Canes

For anyone who is not yet a paid member, if you did not know, the cost works out to only $3.32 per month. This gives you 24/7 access to the full versions of my Friday video tutes. Plus you also receive four A-series color recipe cards. This week’s color is: Morning Dew (Vol-030-2A) from the Frosty Field Polymer Clay Color Palette.

I have to say that Cindy’s videos have been the best buy ever, and I have NO regrets about buying them. ~Koolbraider

Grew up immersed in books… picture books, reference books, how to and craft books, history…you name it. Followed the clay wagon now for 20 years, and in the beginning there were a couple of pamphlets and a great book by Nan Roche. Then Carol Duval. Then more polymer clay books than I could ever shake a stick at. Same with VHS and CD instructions, and now the web is loaded with tuts and tutors. Would I willingly give back a single one? No way. More for the historical trigger of the memories and skills learned and applied while I read or watched. However, just based on what I have seen hear with my own eyes, this is the best site for the money to improve your polymer skills. Cindy’s videos are edited for all essential information, as is her blog, her tweets, and her emails, lol. She’s a busy lady, and doesn’t inundate you with information, just culls the best. If you master the skills she’s taught so far (and you have to work at it to get the planning, attention to detail and finishing down), your work is marketable. After only two and a half years of weekly blogs and videos, that’s an exceptional deal. Plus you get a great network of folks here who cheer you on and inspire you. ~Jocelyn-C
