\"Extruder <\/span>“It is probably the fastest & easiest way to make flower canes
\nI have ever seen!”

<\/p>\n

One of the best thing about the web is how it allows people from all corners of the globe to share ideas and adapt them to come up with their own way of doing things.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the case with a cool idea that Nathalie from the French blog Parole de Pate<\/a>, came up with recently. It is a technique for making a flower version of the mod cane<\/a> using an extruder, a die and a bead core adapter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then Galina<\/a> who is from Russia, ended up modifying the technique. She did not have the bead core adapter, so instead used two different dies and a rubber ring to accomplish similar results.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since both the French site and the Russian one are published in languages foreign to me, it took a bit to figure out exactly what they were doing. I played around with the idea, trying many different combinations of dies and clays before I knew how and why it worked. It is actually very simple, but there are a few things that you can mess up if you do it wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n

The beads in the photo above, were made with canes from my experiments with the technique. I’ll show you how to make this cool flower mod cane in a video if you like. It is probably the fastest and easiest way to make flower canes that I have ever seen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let me know if you’re interested, and I’ll add it to the growing list of tutorials on my “to film” list.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have to say how much I appreciate you people that share your experience with clay with all the world. I honour all the excellent women-teachers-clayers that during all these years exchange their knowledge with us in the foreign countries. I am the only teacher in my region, Rhodes Greece, that after a long personal journey claying, I have the satisfaction to enter into one of the best private schools in Greece in a regular basis weekly the lesson-activity of polymer clay, because the manager is a fanatic admirer of the work we do with the kids, 4th grade up. Thanks again.<\/span> ~Helen-L<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What a small world! Just think, not too long ago this would be just a dream. My grandmother is 95 and when she was born no cars were invented, no airplanes, no good way to travel except by train. Now, all we have to do to visit with friends and share information is to “log on!”<\/span> ~Catalina<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
