Polymer Clay Water Cane



UPDATE 05/10/2017 CraftArtEdu has unfortunately now closed, if you would like more information on this cane here is Claire Wallis Facebook Page.

Earlier this week I took some time out to make this Water Cane, I purchased the tutorial for this cane from CraftArtEdu designed by Claire Wallis.

Its a fairly simple tutorial for those that have experience in caning involving skinner blends.

You get two tutorials for the price, the water cane and another thunderbolt cane which I have yet to try.

Here's what I made with my finished cane, I did have to stretch the cane a little when applying them to my pendants but I'm delighted with the effect.

I think this cane could look great in an array of colours I'm thinking maybe red next time.

Polymer Clay Kaleidoscope Cane



Here's some new pendants and earrings I've made from my latest Kaleidoscope cane from my earlier posts a few weeks ago.

I've also made this bird brooch too along with some smaller stud earrings, they all need finishing now with backs and varnishing.

Below you can see the original canes I made along with the sheet I created.  These canes were the result of a tutorial I purchased from the CraftArtEdu website by Julie Eakes.

Definitely a challenging tutorial but it was so worth it as I'm delighted with the results.

CraftArtEdu Polymer Clay Tutorial Part 2 The Results

In part one of my CraftArtEdu polymer clay review, I reviewed the tutoiral Have a Heart by Donna Kato as I created and learned how to make the polymer clay cane need to progress onto part 2 of the pendant.

If you missed part one you can catch up here


Part two of the tutorial involved the creating of the heart pendant using your kaleidoscope cane created in part one, again I found the tutorial really easy to use and picked up more great tips/techniques on applying my cane to the pendant and creating the heart pendant itself.

So here are the finished results of the tutorial
