Make a Polymer Clay Pansy Cane

[@adelaidesansalone8965]

Elaine, this is the absolute best tutorial I have seen for a Pansy cane!!! The details you add truly makes the cane appear so realistic it’s amazing. This is what differentiates you from other PolymerClay artists and places you in the top 5%. I love watching your tutorials and you inspire me to keep caning especially when my physical limitations stop me from doing the things I love. I truly appreciate your effort, time and thoughtfulness in sharing your talent with us at no cost. Thank you for your consideration and kindness. Keep safe and well ❤️🤗

[@Tooaquarius]

That's super kind of you! I've been doing clay for a while now so there's lots to share with folks.

"Someone out there makes perfect, neat blends, but it isn't me." I resemble that comment 100%. No-one has time for perfection. 🤣 Just gorgeous. I love this pansy but you make it look so easy! Goals. 🙌😍

[@Tooaquarius]

I have been doing this a LONG time plus I get to slightly cut out the worst screw ups (although I try to keep the normal mistakes in)

[@marywoods6329]

I love the flower

[@1212haro]

😍😍😍 Truly magnificent Pansy cane. Thank you so very much for sharing your skills with us. ❤️

[@sandrastreifel6452]

Beautiful, and so realistic!

[@leighanncarter2576]

Thank you for that tutorial on that beautiful pansy cane, I hope you will make many more tutorials.

[@Tooaquarius]

There's gonna be more! I'm getting into the swing of things!

[@catherinemichael916]

Thank you. It is beautiful and easy to follow the steps you used to make this cane. Would love to see more of your work.

[@christinemathies7236]

Thia is absolutely stunning! Pansey are a favorite flower of mine as well! Thank you!

[@Jeea84]

Beautiful! Going on my to try list asap

[@Tooaquarius]

Have fun!

[@seboyaprimera3785]

I love your messy chaotic work style. It works for me. I can understand and somehow, appreciate it more that it's sped up but realistic. Thank you for such a wonderful video. I am not a clean edge blender either.

[@Tooaquarius]

I hate to hide how the process really looks. You will not get clean, straight edges, perfect cuts and no wonkiness in a single, given cane.

[@maggiemiller6147]

Absolutely gorgeous cane

[@Tooaquarius]

Definitely one of my favourites!

[@jenniferroya3606]

[@Tooaquarius]

My favourite garden flowers!

[@madonnalancaster5395]

Absolutely beautiful 😍

[@Tooaquarius]

Thank you! 😊

The extra trans you put in changed so much. Looks so nice when you reduce it! Keeps that beautiful shape. The colors are nice too. Some of the pansy canes I know God didn’t create pansies those colors.

[@Tooaquarius]

I used to use a lot less because I'm pretty experienced at reducing canes but customers and friends had trouble working with my canes as a result so ... adding a little more to keep it stable helps for some designs. I still end up squishing petal edges but less

[@Donna-m1c]

You are too damn good wish I found you 🎉2 years ago glad I got you now!

[@Tooaquarius]

Thanks :) I've been a this a while!

[@jenniferroya3606]

Beautiful cane, thank you so much.

[@Tooaquarius]

Glad you like it!

[@kathyjones274]

Thank you for sharing it all I'm a beginner so I want to see

[@Julzzzsatx]

Oh so pretty!! If I don't have those colors can I use my oils to dye my clay or powders? Sorry, I'm new & can't remember the proper names. Thank you❤

[@Rareplymouth]

Very nice instructions to follow and just beautiful 😍

[@Tooaquarius]

Thanks so much 😊

[@matthewlawton9241]

I hope you see this, I was hoping you might please answer two questions if you have the time? - What is this style of clay molding called? I've seen others use this style of manipulating clay to make miniature china dishes as well as candy makers. - Can this be done with cold porcelain clay as well, or will it blend too much? I notice polymer clay seems to keep a sort of boundary between the layers.

[@Tooaquarius]

Sure! - This is cane making or polymer clay millefiori / millefiore. A lot of people use it for making miniatures, adding details to sculpture, making beads, jewellery, scenes. I mostly make the actual canes / designs and beads. - This can be done with any clay you can colour - I've done it with ceramic clay and homemade clays but this type does, for sure, keep the details best. If you think about a simple pattern where you roll two layers together and make a spiral of it... cookies, cakes, candies are done like this. You can do the same in most clays I imagine.

[@sandrastreifel6452]

@@TooaquariusIt’s the same way rock candy is made, with a design or letters inside!

[@joyceparkes2678]

💖🙏🏽

[@joyceengland8781]

Nicely done! Good instruction. Mine was as pretty as yours! That just doesn’t happen for me. Tifs.

[@Tooaquarius]

Yay! I'm happy to hear that!
