Please subscribe?? Watch how I made these awesome butterflies in this time lapse video containing 40+GB of HD footage, where I constructed and reduced a polymer clay butterfly wing cane.This video is a visual guide for making these for those of you who wish to make some for yourself. Polymer clay is a oven bake clay that never dries out and hardens when you bake it. You can then sand, tool, drill, and polish it after its baked.It comes in many colors and brand, all which can be mixed together.
I've been thinking about the butterfly cane for some time now and always thought it to be a real challenging thing to do.. turns out it was not so bad! For a first try, I think these butterflies turned out awesome! How about you?
Please like this video it would mean so much to me.. and maybe share it too? It took me almost 5 days to edit this video lol, but well worth it as I think this is one of my best videos yet... It would be so awesome if my very awesome friends on Facebook and Google+ helped me out by sharing this video with their awesome friends too?

I don't know where to start, except to say: Bloody brilliant video! Using the little leftover bits on the bottom of the wings? Inspired! I just pinned this with the label, "Absolutely the best poly clay video on KZfaq EVER!" Thank you SO much! I can't wait to get a chance to try this. Wonder if they'd notice if I didn't show up for work today?

+Polymer Clay Artist Went to work, kind of had to - boss is out of town on holiday. She is totally amazing & she really needed/deserved a week away, so I was happy to fill in for her. OK, that and I need the extra $$'s for more clay to practice butterflies. ;D You are totally welcome. Thank you again for the inspiration. Just 1 request -- more videos!

Fabulous...most realistic butterfly I've ever seen. What a painstakingly beautiful process to get the blend over the whole wing instead of each piece. Brilliant! Thanks a bunch; I know the amount of time it took to edit this was immense.

Micah Hirsch Thanks I appreciate the feedback!! It's crazy reading that cause actually in the future I plan on having extended versions of certain projects that could be purchased as a ad free download for maybe $1.99 or something lol Of course there would always be a shorter free versions here on youtube... it's just an idea I been thinking about for some time now.

I work with Polymer Clay and have an Etsy shop myself and often need these tutorials to learn new thins. But I must say out of all the tutorial videos out there, ya know the fancy dancy ones, I absolutely love yours. I love the fact that you leave in the small bits of knowledge and explain everything that you're doing. I had no idea what a "Skinner blend" was and I've worked with Polymer Clay for several months now >.> I know there is so much more to learn with this medium as well as many others. Thank you sir! :D

Along with this being an awesome video (pause button and the "slow down" feature on all youtube videos aid in getting a better understanding of the process he went through), what I LOVED is how HONEST you were about how when you get to a certain point in cane making, one panics....no matter how experienced you are. The reducing part in particular....I love that you verbalized that. Cane making is never the exact same process twice, it requires flexibility, patience, the ability to keep in mind the end result and the willingness to risk doing things that MAY not work in the end. But when it does......ohhhhh YES! Thank you for this video!
