\"FlowerVideo #255:<\/span> “I love that you are incorporating metal tutes alongside Polymer Clay.” ~Elaine-F<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

You know I love flowers and nature. I also love things that look a little quirky. Well this week I’m mixing those concepts together and adding a bit of flower stamen wire work for the members video tutorial. Hopefully you like the design. But if not, you’ll still learn some basic techniques that may come in handy for other jewelry making projects you have on the go.<\/span><\/p>\n

What a great idea! Love the flower, but the wire stamens and wrapping make it extra special. Cannot wait for you to teach us how to make these. Be great in flower arrangements because you could bend the wire to make realistic settings. <\/span> ~Jocelyn-C<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hey Cindy, love love love these earrings<\/a> you\u2019ve made here, so beautiful. I would like to do some similar ones but I have no clue as to how to do the stamens. What gauge of wire is best to use in this project? Please help!<\/span> ~Patricia-R<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well…<\/em> coming up tomorrow (Friday, May 11, 2012) <\/span>in the Vol-048-2 members video at the Polymer Clay Tutor Library<\/a>, I will be teaching all of you how to make awesome flowers (and\/or jellyfish) into jewelry pendants earrings and charms, with unique stamen centers that twist and turn into great looking bails.<\/span>

…<\/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.
