So on Friday, June 11th at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beadvideos.com\/back-issues\/\" class=\"external external_icon\" target=\"_blank\">Polymer Clay Library<\/a> (Vol-025-2), the member video tutorial will teach you how to make a versatile geometric cane which is called the Mitered Corner Cane. It was first introduced in this post: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/cirque-de-cindy-polymer-clay-circus-jewelry-necklace-gallery\/9759\/\">Cirque de Cindy, Polymer Clay Circus Jewelry Necklace<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Very cool Cindy! I would like to learn the Mitered Corner Cane. <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\">~Maureen-G<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">The different combinations of the mitered canes just all look perfect. The colors go so well together. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Peggy-B<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Oh Cindy, the colors you used on those canes are gorgeous and the canes are really cool! Please add to your member tutorials. I would love to learn how to make a cane like the ones you have done. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Hobokenmary<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">A really unique look. I think I sort of figured it out a bit but I would still love a tutorial because you always teach us how to perfect it and give us that something extra that makes it a special tutorial.<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Cheryl-H<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">I too can figure out the cane work but always still like your tutorials for the extra tips. You said it best &#8211; <em>&#8220;I learned by making mistakes&#8230; Now you don&#8217;t have to.&#8221; <\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Lawrence-S<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">A tutorial on this would be great. Call me dense but I can not see how the mitered cane works, but then again I am geometrically challenged. When doing new baseboards in my mothers bedroom I cut the same wrong angle three times, fortunately I had added extra length in the baseboard knowing my ability to mess up angles. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Ken-H<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">I think the Mitered Corner Cane is a great idea. It looks fabulous, and you can make it simple, complex, or even more complex! I&#8217;d vote &#8220;yes&#8221; for a tutorial on this cane. I imagine you&#8217;ll have the process perfected, with tips to make it easy for us to create &#8211; sounds enjoyable to me! <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Phaedrakat<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Please Note:<\/strong><\/span> A general prerequisite for all of my weekly tutorials is that you have a good understanding of the polymer clay basics, including: conditioning clay, using a pasta machine, clay blade and other simple tools, making Skinner Blends or Teardrop Blends, baking clay, as well as sanding and finishing.

The $10 I spent buying the Vol-005 back issue video where you made the felt wheel saved me more than $200 as I was very close to buying the expensive jewelers buffer.

They were not even the focus of the tutes nor given more attention than a passing comment but man have they changed my work!! Tip #1:\u00a0 [Video-020-2], square the cane and bead to cover in cane slices and then roll it round (tried this with extruder flower canes and made an unbelievably cute bracelet). And #2 [Video-022-1], hold your fingers at the edges of the clay when rolling a skinner blend so the clay does not become too wide. Since I began catching up, I have gotten around to trying the extruder flower canes [Vol-019-1] and the faux bone [Vol-019-3] with great results both times! <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Carrie-W<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The following topics are included in this week&#8217;s <strong><em>Mitered Corner Cane <\/em><\/strong>video tutorial:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">See examples of several different ways to create the mitered corner cane, plus examples of beads and jewelry made with the canes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Discussion of the clay and tools needed to be able to build this versatile cane.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Learn how to build, cut and stack the colors so that you get the perfect mitered corner every time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Tips on how to put the cane sections together so that the striped corners line up properly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Learn how to get several different cane designs from the same basic cane, by placing the canes in different positions and using different color combinations.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The full version of the <strong>&#8220;Mitered Cane&#8221;<\/strong> preview video shown above, is now available for purchase at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beadvideos.com\/back-issues-02\/#vol-025\" class=\"external external_icon\" target=\"_blank\">Polymer Clay Library<\/a> in the <strong>Vol-025 Back Issue Package.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vid #159: &#8220;I can figure out the cane work but always still like your tutorials for the extra tips.&#8221; ~Lawrence-S<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[2681,1059],"class_list":["post-10152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cane-work","tag-cane-making","tag-member-vids"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10152","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10152"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10152\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10152"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
