White Stripe Cane, 6 Ways, in Polymer Clay, a Tutorial

Have fun choosing which look you create with this single Skinner Blend cane. We add a thin white stripe, and then you choose which of 6 ways to put it together to get a different look. This is a nice simple one, so sit back, relax, and watch as I take you step by step through the process to create this new cane.
Although this tutorial does not cover turning the sheet into a finished item, I have loads of other videos that cover lots of ideas, so check out my PolyOriginals channel - / @fionaabelsmithpolyori...

I find it fascinating how small changes can make such a differens when you make canes :D

[@grittykitty50]

It's a whole science unto itself, isn't it?

[@FionaAbelSmithPolyOriginals]

Me too, that's what I love about canes so much :)

[@frankcosta6592]

Great tutorial, as always, Fiona. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. 😂

[@FionaAbelSmithPolyOriginals]

[@rebeccafionacornel6558]

loved this cane tutorial...............

[@FionaAbelSmithPolyOriginals]

Thanks so much 😊

[@leannporter-parsley1523]

Okay! That looks beautiful, but how in the world did you figure this out??? Just by a turn of the cane! First time here, but definitely subscribed!🙋🏻‍♀️

[@FionaAbelSmithPolyOriginals]

Thanks so much LeAnn, and yes, once you've played for a while, you think, so what if I do this, then this and then this - the trick is to keep a note of what you are doing, so that if it turns out okay, you can do it again ;) As to the turns, yes, that's what you can do when you kaleidoscope it, lots of different patterns from the base one :) Just have fun with it and see what emerges :)

[@conniegant7781]

Ahhh, thanks so much Mary, that is very sweet of you :)

[@susanhamilton3212]

The white-stripe skinner blend is fabulous, I've never seen this before. Really works to stop the white accents getting lost. Love the way you stretched the points of the triangular cane over the additional logs to give more intricacy and style. Thank you as always :)

[@FionaAbelSmithPolyOriginals]

Thanks so much Susan :)

So gorgeous! I’m reminded of the Moorish tiles I saw in Spain on my trip last October.

[@FionaAbelSmithPolyOriginals]

thanks D'Anna :)

[@boa9535]

I can’t give a double thumbs up. So, I’m glad I get to watch these again and go through the commercials, which I usually silent, so that Fiona can get a little more money.

[@FionaAbelSmithPolyOriginals]

Thank you so much, what a lovely thing to say, and a double thanks for the commercial listening, I know they are a pain, but as you say, that's the only way I get a little money from these tutorials - so thank you :)
