It can be used on it&#8217;s own, or  combined with a center to create the full Dogwood Flower Cane, much like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/polymer-clay-tutorial-gerbera-flower-cane\/5218\/\">Gerbera Flower Cane<\/a> was made in Volume 015.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">In fact, several of the steps used to make the Dogwood Cane were learned in making the Gerbera Cane, so it will be important to review Volume 015 before making the Dogwood Cane. Doing the tutorials this way, prevents me from using valuable time in the new tutorial, repeating already learned information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The full version of the Vid-016-4 tutorial will be posted in the Polymer Clay Members Library on Friday September 25th, 2009.

You get the color palettes and skills to start using the gerba daisy cane, but just about any other petalled center flower can be made from adjusting the colors or the petal shape, using Cindy&#8217;s base techniques and excellent design variations. When I think of my lousy results, year after year, finally giving up after countless scrap clay efforts, that I could have come here and had the process mastered for such a small cost in such a short time, these beautiful canes the result&#8230; well, it almost makes me want to weep for that time lost. But, I cannot.\u00a0 Because now I know how to do it, I can do it, and I will do it.\u00a0 So now, perhaps, I will shed a few tears of joy.
