\"Polymer<\/a>Vid #212:<\/span> <\/strong>“Cindy,\u00a0I really like the look\u00a0of the flower canes\u00a0without the background\u00a0packing.” ~Carrie-W<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lately I have been getting lots of inspiration from broken items around the home. Last week it was a cracked off knob from the living room lamp, used for making cute little Polymer Clay Cupcake Beads<\/a>. And this week my inspiration came from a carved wooden tulip, separated from it’s stem.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes it’s the shape that inspires. Sometimes the color. This week is a bit of both with my version of a cute little Tulip Cane … Sans Background!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

All right! You must have genuinely read my mind! I have been dying, just dying, to make a backgroundless flower cane. In fact, I must confess, I was on the verge of buying a tutorial on this very subject, so I am so glad my desires and your design, Cindy, came at just the right time! <\/span><\/span>~Becky-C<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well…<\/em> coming up tomorrow (Friday July 15th 2011) in the Vol-038-3 members video at the Polymer Clay Tutor Library<\/a>, I’ll show you how to make this very cool and cute Tulip Cane. Plus we’ll be saving a chunk of the cane to make next week’s Sculpted Parrot Tulip Bead. All that from a broken wooden tulip!<\/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.
