This creative cane gives a wonderful pattern, each time slightly different, but all with a flowing look due to the initial S shape in the design. I take you step by step through the whole process, which is good for beginners upwards, so sit back, relax, and then have some fun and make your own.
The music from the video is English Country Garden by Aaron Kenny and is available from the KZfaq Free Audio Library.

Polymer Clay is oven baked, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the brand of clay you are using.
I used FIMO Soft Polymer Clay, but all well-known brands of polymer clay will work well for this project.
For the second design I showed, I used White/Lilac/Plum, Gold/Sunflower Yellow/White and a Dark Blue (Windsor Blue with a touch of Black) /a mid-range soft Blue/White.
I used a Pasta Machine dedicated to Polymer Clay use to create blends and condition the clay. If you do not have a pasta machine, you can condition the clay by hand, by cutting it into slices, and then rolling the clay in your hands until it becomes soft and malleable. If you want to create sheets of clay, roll the clay between two even stacks of playing cards to get an even thickness in your sheet of clay. On my machine settings 3 is 5 cards (1.5mm) thick and setting 2 is 6 cards (2mm) thick.
You need:
A Polymer Clay Blade, or something similar (please keep fingers away from sharp edges)
A small Roller
A smooth non porous work surface - I work on a large ceramic tile.
Have fun with this one, and I cannot wait to see what you create.
Thank you so much for watching.
