\"FauxVideo #242:<\/span> “Cindy I would like to make my polymer clay look like different kinds of wood. Do you have any tutorials for oak, walnut, cherry, maple?” ~Sandra-H<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

As promised in the Celtic Heart Tutorial<\/a> from last week, the next lesson in our February series will show you how to make a faux wood cane.<\/span><\/p>\n

Polymer clay is awesome at imitating different materials, and does an especially good job of mimicking wood and wood grains. Because of the unlimited colors and layering possibilities of polymer clay, with a little planning, you can capture the look of any species and finish of wood that you want.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the examples I show you a blonde wood version of a faux wood cane, which I will teach you how to create in this tutorial. But I also show examples of darker woods such Faux Oak and Faux Black Walnut varieties. Once you learn the techniques of making a faux wood cane, you can go on to experiment with different color and grain patterns of your own, making the options unlimited!<\/span><\/p>\n

So… coming up tomorrow (Friday, Feb 10, 2012) in the Vol-045-2 members video at the Polymer Clay Tutor Library<\/a>, I will demonstrate how to make a faux wood cane that you can use to cover (laminate)<\/em> over your polymer clay projects like the Celtic Knot Heart Pendant. It will make the piece look like it was carved carved from real wood!<\/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.
