\"JohnnyVid #153:<\/span> “I grow
\nPansies every year in
\npots around the patio, so to
\nmake them in clay would
\nbe great.” ~Ritzs<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Every year around this time, the tiny little Viola flowers pop up all over my garden. It’s no wonder they are often called Johnny Jump-up’s.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I asked you guys about adding a tutorial video to the members library about demonstrating how to make a Johnny Jump-Up Cane, the response was very positive, as you can see by the feedback listed below. These comments were originally posted here: Nature Inspired Polymer Clay Flower Canes, Johnny Jump-Up<\/a>

I’ve never heard these called Johnny Jump-Ups, but they are absolutely adorable in cane form. Great idea, Cindy! This looks like it would make a fun video! <\/span>~Phaedrakat<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cindy, count me in.\u00a0 When I first moved to Arizona I planted pansy’s and the quail ate them all so this would be perfect, the birds can’t get to them.<\/span> ~Bonnie-K<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I vote yes to anything Cindy offers to teach us. The feed back that I get from projects I make with her tutorials is amazing. Keep them coming Cindy! <\/span>~Brenda-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes for me too! I love pansies and it’s my moms favorite flower too along with roses. She paints them a lot.

Johnny Jump Ups or Violas same flower so sweet to see. Lots of color variations in them being seen in the nurserys. We expect you to be unique Cindy. I love that aspect of you. I vote yes on this video proposal. <\/span>~Illaya-B<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’d love to see the Johnny Jump Up cane be the next cane making tutorial! My favorite idea for a cane of all those tossed out there in the past few weeks! <\/span>~Laura-B<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

April showers, looks like a beautiful arrangement of polymer clay will reign! Yah, looking forward to all these special techniques. It bears repeating, Cindy you are the best. Thanks again for all you efforts to give us what we want. <\/span>~Joyce-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I grow Pansies every year in pots around the patio, so to make them in clay would be great yes please Cindy. <\/span>~Ritzs<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cindy, I vote yes for the flower cane. I don’t cane much which is exactly the reason I need to have this base knowledge somewhere in my head. That cane is beautiful and it is the perfect time of year to do it. Thanks!

Yes from me too, pansies and violets are favourites of mine. I love the colours. The little sweet violets I grow in my vegetable garden, as companion plants and occasional salad items, have started to grow again now the weather’s warming up. Looking forward to being able to get working in the garden again! <\/span>~Silverleaf<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes please – what a delightful looking cane. I could make a great key ring with this for the gardener where I work! <\/span>~Susan-B<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cindy: I thought about these cute little flower canes several times today – so adorable! It’s almost like they have a sweet face – love it! <\/span>~Phaedrakat<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I vote an emphatic yes! <\/span>~Rachelle-W<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With such a clear Yes<\/em> vote, I am happy to say that the Johnny Jump-up Cane<\/em> tutorial has now been filmed and will be posted on Friday April 23, 2010 at the Polymer Clay Library<\/a> (Vol-023-4).<\/span><\/p>\n

Please Note:<\/strong><\/span> This is an intermediate level project that requires prerequisite knowledge of how to make Skinner Blends (Teardrop Blends) as well as how to reduce the size of your canes. If you need assistance with these topics, there are other videos in the members library that teach what you need to know. The library volume references for these prerequisite videos are listed just below in the next section.<\/span><\/p>\n
