\"GrapeVid #197:<\/span> <\/span><\/strong>“A Grape
Hyacinth Cane would
be cool! I just love flowers,
…real, silk, clay …you name
it!!” ~Catalina<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In gardens all over the northern hemisphere, pretty little Spring bulbs are emerging from the soil. And one of the flowers popping up in my garden right now, is the tiny Grape Hyacinth. These early blooms symbolize all that is wonderful about this Spring season… so I decided to celebrate by creating a cane for this weeks video tutorial project.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Cindy you make it seem that creating canes can be so effortless. I love what you do, and how you put into words the instruction for others to follow. I love the colors of flowers in nature too… they are always inspiring. Your videos and instruction really make me want to think outside the box. Thanks! <\/span><\/span>~Andrea-R<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I love your online videos and look forward to them every week. I would love to learn how to make more flower canes! <\/span><\/span> <\/span> ~Cara-L<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We are very fortunate to have you sharing your expertise. Hope that you will be with us forever, and a day. <\/span><\/span> <\/span> ~Diana-S<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Nature and flowers are the biggest source of my inspiration. God bless you, Cindy Lietz. <\/span><\/span>~Carrie-W<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Knowing the art of polymer clay, I believe nature gave flowers to us as inspiration to create! <\/span><\/span> <\/span> ~Kody-K<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/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.
