This is a beautiful cane, deceptively simple, which can be used for so many polymer projects. So, sit back, relax and see how to make one of your own. I will put a link here when I have finished the project I refer to in the video 😉

You improvise so great...a glue stick for a dip in the wings, etc.,etc. These are beautiful (as usual)! It just struck me that they would also make great butterfly wings....thank you for sharing this with us! You are such a wonderful instructor!💎💙🦋😊👍

Gorgeous 👏🏻💗👏🏻💗👏🏻💗 I love your work, you are amazing Fiona ❣️❣️❣️ Do you let your work rest at times when you were making this or do you just keep working it until you get to the end? Does it depend on the clay, I use Premo but I want to try the Fimo soft that you use. Do you feel there is a big difference between these two clays in your experience?

@FionaAbelSmithPolyOriginals 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much Shelly. I know in theory you should let it rest, and on very hot days even I do. But having made a cane I always want to use it straight away, so no, I am very bad and reduce and cut it straight away. There are definitely differences between Premo and Fimo Soft. Premo is more rubbery, easier to condition, sticks to itself more than the soft, but also pulls down more when you are slicing a cane. Fimo is more crumbly (I think of it as more chalky) and this makes it harder to condition but it is easier to manoeuvre and it doesn't have that same pull down when you slice it. To my mind it is the easiest of all the clays to slice through. So there are good and bad points to each, and I use both, and like both. They can of course be mixed together, so even better ;) If you can afford to experiment with a bit of Fimo Soft, then do, then you can decide for yourself. But to be honest, most people get so comfortable with what they first started with, that they tend to stick to that. I hope that's helped a bit. :)

@shellybeals2806 3 жыл бұрын

Fiona Abel-Smith PolyOriginals thank you so much and yes you were very helpful. I am going to experiment with Fimo soft. I find my canes get distorted with Premo and like you I want to use it right away so i don’t let it rest. Plus I am so excited to see the end result, but at times disappointed. Good thing about clay is you can just try to make something else out of failures👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 😊 When I see you do this so seamlessly I just had to ask. I know you have so much experience and I don’t have the knowledge to know when I should let it rest. I have a lot to learn but will keep trying. You inspire me to do so and I thank you for that 💗💗💗

@828burke 3 жыл бұрын

You would want to use translucent clay mixed with something like alcohol inks. Otherwise the opacity would go away with very small amounts of other clay.

@FionaAbelSmithPolyOriginals 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much b1, you beat me to it ;) yes you would either need to use the translucent clay colours, or colour the plain translucent with pigments that were themselves translucent, and then of course the inserts could either be translucent, themselves, or opaque. As mentioned the alcohol inks are perfect for this. Can't wait to see what you create :)
