\n<\/span>“Cindy, you always
\nmake a cane that looks
\ncomplicated,\u00a0 so easy to
\nput together. My vote is
\nYES!” ~Linda-B<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Don’t you just love the delicate shimmer of butterfly wings! Now you can make your own butterfly jewelry using this pretty Blue Morpho Butterfly Wing Cane.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

On Friday, July 2nd at the Polymer Clay Library<\/a> (Volume-026-1), the member video tutorial will teach you how to make a Butterfly Wing Cane. This project was discussed recently over at this Gallery<\/em> post: Resin Coated Polymer Clay Wing Pendant<\/a><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Oh happy days, that is how the pics in this gallery make me feel. Love the combination of blue colors, so bright and cheerful. They go so well with the design. A tut would be wonderful. Happy claying everyone. <\/span>~Joyce-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Love it! I would definitely want the butterfly wing tute. Making butterflies has been on my personal list for a long time. This cane is a big step in that direction! I never thought about making just one wing, but it’s gorgeous! The resin is perfect, protecting a thin little slice, making it look even more like a delicate wing! This necklace is lovely. <\/span>~Phaedrakat<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I love the blues and would love to learn your butterfly cane. Cindy, you always make a cane that looks complicated, so easy to put together. My vote is YES! <\/span> ~Linda-B<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While I’m not much of a cane person, I really like this one. Bring it on! :D <\/span>~Sue-F<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I vote yes, yes, yes, I would assume that once the technique is learned you could make the smaller lower half, and then create a sculpture. I can see it, a large rose made from your Rose video<\/a>, and a complete butterfly made from this in a sculpture reminiciant of Capo di Monte. <\/span>~Ken-H<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh Cindy how beautiful your butterfly wing is. I am so glad I didn’t miss this. You know I have asked for a butterfly cane. Even the word butterfly sounds of beauty to me. Please tell me they don’t really make a piece of jewelry from a real butterfly’s wing. How tragic when you can use pc and get this much beauty from it. Ken you are so great for suggesting how to make a full butterfly from this one wing. Cindy I have to admit a full butterfly is what I was wanting but this wing will more than make up for the other missing parts. I agree with Ken after making some wings give the rest of it a try. You can always go back to the single most gorgeous wing. Thank you Cindy for the creation and Doug for the presentation. YES, PLEASE YES. The sooner the better for me. Love and Uuuuuugggggs. <\/span>~Peggy-B<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cindy, Gorgeous butterfly wing pendant and I especially appreciate your mention of it not causing the death of one of these lovely, fragile creatures. (Those real wings encased in resin or something give me the shudders.) But this clay one of yours, all glossed up, is beautiful and I’d love a tutorial on making it. Adore those stunning colours too. <\/span>~Mary-U<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What a beautiful butterfly wing. It really made me happy. You’ve captured the color and the delicate wing perfectly. I just have to own this pendant. I’m going to buy it. It will be wonderful to wear and treasure – a signature piece from the best polymer clay artist and tutor. And yes, I would love a tutorial. — @Ken – As soon as I saw the photo of the wing, I had exactly the same idea as you – a 3D rose with a 3D butterfly – it would make a beautiful sculpture piece. <\/span>~Cheryl-H<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Love this one Cindy and I would love to learn how to do a butterfly cane the color on yours is amazing. <\/span>~Ritzs<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cindy.. I keep stairing at this wing trying to pick it apart as to how you got those colors to do that.. I am looking forward to this tut. <\/span>~Brenda-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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. If you need help in these areas, my Polymer Clay Beginners Course<\/a> will get you up to speed quickly. There is also plenty of free information on this blog.
