\"DogwoodVideo #238:<\/span> “I confess I have never been a ‘flower’<\/em> gal… but Cindy, you’re making me ‘change my religion’<\/em> with all these gorgeous blooms!” ~Monique-U<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Well it looks like I have a new favorite polymer clay project. It is these Dogwood Flower Pendants… I think because they look so realistic, and stunning to wear. And they are so easy to make as well!<\/span><\/p>\n

Last month when I demonstrated how to make the Poinsettia Flowers<\/a>, I did promise to do more tutes using the Wilton Gum Paste Flower Cutters and Impression Set. These wonderful tools were actually made for cake decorating, but I just love how well they work with polymer clay.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you have an awesome cutter collection like this, you’re going to want to learn how to use the whole set. In fact, as you can see from Monique’s comment above, and another one from Angela below, there are even a few members who have converted over to the flowery side, LOL.

Possibly I’m in the minority but I’m not really into making flowers (unless it’s a cane). Or, rather, I WASN’T<\/em> into making flowers. Now, after seeing the Poinsettia tutorial I can tell I’m going to be making a lot of them this next year. Thank you so much for this tute. <\/span> ~Angela-M<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I was at Michael’s at 8 AM this morning with my 50% off coupon clutched in my hot little hand and got the only one they had my store for $20. They had a few impression kits so returned later with another 50% coupon and got one of those for $12. The book that comes with the Flower Cutter Set is filled with so many great ideas that I am sure we will pursue later. Thanks for this tut Cindy as now I will have a few hostess gifts such as napkin rings, ornaments or brooches \/ pendants, making this a worthwhile investment. <\/span> ~Lawerence-S<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Got my Wilton cutters and the ideas look great. I do need the Cindy twist to make them come to life though. Can’t wait for more of these flower tutes to appear. <\/span> ~Pollyanna<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So…<\/em> without further ado, coming up tomorrow (Friday, January 13 2012) <\/span>in the Vol-044-2 members video at the Polymer Clay Tutor Library<\/a>, I will be…<\/span>

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.
