Love this cane well done!!

I agree. I have given up on all except bullseye canes. Even those end up wonky

I'm convinced that only with practice can a person aspire to make most of these gorgeous pieces. I have become quite discouraged trying to do what these very capable artists do finding myself up to my elbows in messed up clay. But, like everything else, with practice comes perfection. I still am so entertained watching these tutorials that I quite prefer them over TV, etc. Thank you for showing us what can be possible. I love your creations and hope one day to be able to produce a similar facsimile. 🤎🩵💕👍🙃🙂

Thank you! Give it a try. Practice makes perfect with canes. I’m still learning, too!

Thanks! I keep coming back to them, even though I don’t much like the process, either! 😂 I think it’s because I like to be more spontaneous, and making canes is so precise. I do prefer surface techniques, and MG, but I just want to try and master canes, for some reason.

@@clayboutique ❤️🌷

Thanks so much! Please give it a try! If I can do it, so can you ❤️

Thank you! I’m not being hard on myself, I’m just stating what I find a little difficult. I’m super proud of this cane, despite how I have struggled with them in the past.

Thanks so much! 💕

Thanks!

Thank you 💕

I think they’re a pain, too 😫😂 I’m glad I inspired you. Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks. They kinda do look like snowflakes, but that wasn’t intentional, which kinda proves that I don’t really have the brain to figure out the specific pattern I want 😬 It is a relatively simple cane, in that it doesn’t have complicated steps to it. I just kinda played around and hoped for the best🤣 You should try it. You might surprise yourself! 💕

Happy New Year! 💕

Thank you! Have fun trying!

Thanks so much! Have a great weekend, too!

Yay! ❤️❤️

Thanks

Thank you 💕

God bless you, too ❤️

Thank you 💜

Thanks! I know, reducing has always been my issue, but this one wasn’t too bad 😆 Have fun!

Thank you 💕 That’s perfectly fine to say.

Thank you! I hope you try to make one! 💕

Which clay are you using?

Sculpy Premo

If it’s hard, it’s probably old, but you can use clay softener to soften it. Just add a few drops to it, and condition. It’s Sculpey clay softener, and you can get it from a craft store. Once the clay it thoroughly conditioned, it shouldn’t stick to the roller.

Ok I’ll try that. Thank you so much!!

Thanks. Yes, I use an app called Video Shop. Very easy to use.

Oh wow that was quick! Haha thank you so much!

@@tamaraclapper, I saw your comment pop up as I was on my iPad…I don’t hang about 🤣

Thanks. Round buffer?

@@clayboutique I think Bruce means the steel soap to varnish. :) Off that topic...I love this cane! It looks easy to make (which I need), has minimal colors (I'm having a hard time finding clay in my town) and it reminds me of snowflakes for winter. Thank you for another great tutorial!

@@clayboutique Thank you, I need one as well. LOL I will add it to my Christmas wish list for my husband.

@@peacockexplosion7191 You’re welcome, and thank you!

I don’t use any resin in this tutorial, but this is what I use: www.amazon.com/dp/B08M9KJW17?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details I usually cure for about 6 minutes, but it doesn’t hurt to leave it in longer, just to be safe.

@@clayboutique I just grabbed the newest one as I thought you might be monitoring it. My husband talked me into using his UV printer Resin. Plus sadly I think his uv lights are less than 4watt so I have a sticky mess.

That’s ok, I just wanted to verify no resin was used in this vid. Yeah, 4w wouldn’t be strong enough. The Melodie Susie is 36w www.amazon.com/MelodySusie-Professional-Setting-Manicure-Pedicure/dp/B012MEZP2E/ref=sr_1_8?crid=P46T2C4YSNGM&keywords=melodie%2Bsusie%2Buv%2Blamp&qid=1637531585&qsid=133-7195431-2312447&sprefix=Melodie%2BSusie%2Buv%2B%2Caps%2C179&sr=8-8&sres=B00J5YVWOU%2CB07S8YK1D2%2CB07Q8SM65P%2CB012MEZP2E%2CB00XFVAX7Q%2CB08XMD48S1%2CB008FXFH6Q%2CB01MY5G8P2%2CB094CZ7LYZ%2CB08QR71WVQ%2CB089CTW61S%2CB07HD68ZBB%2CB099W7686M%2CB006GWDBZ2%2CB08Z84ZTJF%2CB07Q7Z5HG6%2CB0868KRDMT%2CB08F3DNBRR%2CB07ZJJRJF9%2CB01JGG5CH4&srpt=LAMP&th=1

@@clayboutique I just purchased the new resin...need to stop listening to husband. Thankies!! Will watch this tutorial after I get my little brother off my skype....the one that does not have resin on it. x

It’s a steel soap, and it’s listed in my Amazon store, as linked in the description.

Awwww, I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you. If you look in the description, I left a link for my How I finish my Pieces tutorial. I don’t resin the sides, and I don’t cure on paper. One coat.

Here’s my Facebook group link facebook.com/groups/265833918717989/?ref=share_group_link

I use a Meloldie Susie UV lamp
