\"Rolled<\/a>Vid #203:<\/span> <\/span><\/strong>“You don’t understand anything until you learn it more than one way.” ~Marvin Minsky<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Last week I showed how to do Faux Metal Mokume Gane<\/a> in the Volume 036-1 video tutorial. We used a bunch of the gorgeous new metallic colors from the Premo Accents line.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

And before that, way way back in Volume 002-4, I demonstrated the more traditional, Stacked Mokume Gane Technique<\/a>. It was so long ago that I even misspelled Gane<\/em> as Gani<\/em> in the video title bar. Oops!<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

This week we’ll focus on Rolled Translucent Mokume Gane Canes<\/a>. So as you can see, “…there’s more than one way to skin a cat.” (ewww…)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Now since I strongly oppose the notion of harming cats for the sake of education (actually for ANY reason)<\/em>, I decided to Google some friendlier sayings to help make my point. Here’s what I found…<\/span><\/p>\n

You don’t understand anything until you learn it more than one way. <\/span><\/span>~Marvin Minsky<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Each day learn something new, and just as important, relearn something old. <\/span><\/span>~Robert Brault<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. <\/span><\/span>~Henry Ford<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts. <\/span><\/span>~Harry Truman<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere. <\/span><\/span>~Chinese Proverb<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And my personal favorite… partly because of the fellow’s first name, LOL… and a lot because it really does a nice job of summing up my teaching style…<\/span><\/p>\n

You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him (her)<\/em><\/span> to learn by creating curiosity, he (she)<\/em><\/span> will continue the learning process as long as he (she)<\/span><\/em> lives. <\/span><\/span>~Clay Bedford<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So… <\/em>tomorrow (Friday May 13th, 2011) in the Vol-036-2 video at the Polymer Clay Library<\/a>, I’ll be demonstrating how to make an easy, fun and great looking Rolled Translucent Mokume Gane Cane. You will be able to use it in an unlimited number of ways for your polymer clay bead and pendant making projects.<\/span><\/p>\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.
