Real Time Lime Cane Tutorial, Polymer Clay Miniature Food Tutorial

Here is my polymer clay lime cane. Create your own lime out of clay. The Inside of the lime is 1/3 Wasabi Premo, and 2/3 Translucent Premo. The white is 1/2 White Premo, 1/2 Translucent Premo, The Yellow Green is 1/4 Wasabi Premo, 1/4 Yellow Premo, 1/2 Translucent Premo. The dark green is 1/2 Translucent Premo, 1/4 Leaf Green Sculpey, and 1/4 Jungle Premo.

I like videos done in real time like this because my sister and I make polymer clay things as a sister bonding type hobby and she sometimes doesn't understand that those tutorials that are only six minutes long are sped up so she thinks it can be done in 6 minutes and then we take half and hour to do it and she's like "why does this take so long? The videos was five minutes." So it's nice to see how long it would really take us to do this.

[@heathernwells]

Kaylee Hogness Thank you. The number one complaint on my videos is the length. I have started speeding up simpler items, but things that have a lot of work really need to show the details.

[@osiyoevfarms7161]

I know this is almost 3 years old but I hope you still check your comments. I am just in awe of the work you do. You're my mentor/muse/hero LOL. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the community!

[@heathernwells]

Thank you so much

[@tdjustsmile]

Yes plz make more cane tutorials I loved this one so much it looks so real thank u for the tutorial and the inspiration! Big hug!

I appreciate that you used a large cane for demonstrating...thank you!

[@heathernwells]

Thank you so much

[@heathernwells]

Miguel, lol.... So funny, I had to go watch to see which nails I had. Those were my smore themed nails. I was having my nails done every few weeks. My nails tend to be pretty thin, so I was having hard gels on them. Since I am now learning to play the harp, I keep my nails super short, without any polish. Your message made me laugh, thanks :)

[@CajunCraft24]

Thank you for explaining this so well and including tips! I've watched so many of these fruit cane vids as a beginner & no one bothers to mention WHY they're doing what they're doing, and definitely no trouble shooting potential problems. You've probably saved me hours and pounds of clay.....

[@heathernwells]

I am so glad it’s helpful!! Thank you so much

[@cabinetsofcuriosity1]

How on earth do you tolerate the negativity towards your nails? I am reading these comments and just want to scream for you. Please ignore the hate and continue making such beautiful art!

[@heathernwells]

I have had negativity about so many things… my looks, my voice etc… I guess it’s just part of being online

[@heathernwells]

Thankfully most commenters are very supportive

[@MichelleJ1822]

@@heathernwells and then people wonder why people have self esteem issues. I cannot imagine saying something that wouldn’t hurt somebody’s feelings. I know it’s said so often but it’s so true. If you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all. I can’t get over how people think just because they’re sitting behind a computer that they can say whatever they want to. I’m the type of person that likes to say nice things and put a smile on peoples faces not hurt their feelings. You’re a beautiful and creative woman. Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise!

[@heathernwells]

@@MichelleJ1822 thank you so very much!!

[@pmowl68]

I appreciate you working through the process real time, I am just learning how to work with polymer clay, so THANK YOU! I would have liked to see you blend your colors, but thank you for giving the color names. And yes, thank you for making a huge cane so we can see :) That was a really great tip about reducing the edges first to conserve as much of the cane as possible. Keep the tutorials coming! Thank you, Heather!

[@heathernwells]

Thank you so much :)

[@marrionc2458]

Im new to polymer crafting and love your videos....thank you for sharing...I've love to see how to make strawberries and other everyday foods chicken dinners spagetti etc. Thanks again for generously sharing your skills Marrion

[@journaljewelrybyjudee]

Yes, please show us some more cane videos! Thank you so much!

[@heathernwells]

Thank you for commenting. Once I dig the clay out.. I am sure I will get to more canes

[@heathernwells]

Maya, My daughter loves Hetalia, she is 13. Sometimes there will be Hetalia, Black Butler, or The Host Club in the backgroud really low. For video games there may be Animal Crossing (I play that too), Hatsune Miku, or Mine Craft

[@BrookeSkittleVanity]

I love all of those :D Your daughter has awesome taste in anime and video games

[@TheBeverlykain]

+Heather Wells HETALIA?!? I LOVE HETALIA!!!

[@taompons]

i love all of those animes!

[@babygirl91580]

your an anime fan too :) wow, im glad I found ya :), my favorite anime is nana, ouran host club, Deathnote, Naruto , I can go on and on :)

[@daniellebocanegra1003]

Wow I love anime too and minecraft too seems so interesting!

[@minisinpa]

This is perfection. Thank you for taking the time to show every facet of doing this cane.

[@heathernwells]

Thank you :) I know when I was first doing canes I had a lot of problems making them. I am so glad you like it. Heather

[@ashleydu6757]

why did you cut off so much of the cane im crying what waste but damn its pretty

[@heathernwells]

The edges can always be mixed and re used for something else 😀

[@GryphonicDiscord]

Ok... I've been watching tutorials all night... My only confusion is this: my finger nails are barely an 8th of an inch past my finger tips. I still manage to get nail gouges in all of my projects that I have to smooth over(I suck at claw control). How in blazes are these ladies doing this with the super long fake nails and not indenting every single things in sight?! >.

[@joumanarashad2895]

Same prob. LOL.

[@ccorbin83]

interesting! I watched to learn the colors to blend, however, I think i would prefer to roll a long tube, shape it into a wedge, and cut into 8 or 9 lengths, then add the white and outer colors. That way not so much reduction needed.

[@kathyhuynh7252]

Anybody else find the cutting process super satisfying

[@ginap.1543]

Yassss

[@vanessarayfox]

I get so much ASMR from these videos!

[@heathernwells]

+vanessa ray It is funny, Quite a few people have mentioned ASMR to me, in regards to my voice. I have thought about it, but definitely didn't want to put them up on this channel, and I don't know much about ASMR. There are actually a few books that I really enjoyed, but are not on audible, I wish I could find an audio version of them. If I didn't have to worry about copyright I would be happy to record them.

[@TheChickenRiceBowl]

+vanessa ray I came down to the comments looking for something about ASMR in here but I wasn't expecting the first thread! lol

[@louisekraft1014]

Thank you for taking your time to help out others. More canes please...

[@heathernwells]

Thank you so much

[@MewMewFlower]

Omggggggg!! Hetalia! I love that anime!!!

[@kimhuff]

I've never seen anyone condense a cane like that. They've always started in the center and moved out. What's the reason for doing it like this?

[@heathernwells]

I read about it in a book by a fimo artist, who said their canes would end up distorted if they didn’t. The few I tried before coming across his were distorted so I tried… and for some reason I don’t understand… it worked for me so I never looked back

[@Emmasplaylist100]

[@taybabatool4463]

i thought I was over hetalia but just hearing the theme song in the background has dragged me back into this God forsaken fandom I

[@heathernwells]

+Tayba Batool Do you like Black Butler? That is one of the faves of mine, that my daughter watches.

[@taybabatool4463]

+Heather Wells black butler was cool, I've watched only the first season though! Full Metal Alchemist is probably one of my faves i recommend you both watch it together ;0

[@CielRoseW]

+Heather Wells I love Black Butler. As well for Hunter X Hunter. I can talk for Ciel from Black Butler and I can talk like Kurapika from Hunter X Hunter. I love them both and Killua and Gon from HXH.

[@miasmith6765]

To prevent the cane slices from becoming sort of deformed when you slice them, just use a rocking motion back and forth when you slice your canes.

[@heathernwells]

[@stephaniesmith1254]

Yes I would love to see more cane work. Maybe some hard hard candy type of canes...but I'd be happy with any cane work. I saw some complain about how long the videos you make are, I think they are great if its too long they can scroll through till they are at the part the want. It takes a lot to get all the steps in to a video and your video are some of the most informative videos on clay making I've ever seen. I love how you do even the colors and how you got to that color... Please leave the video length.

[@heathernwells]

Stephanie, Thank you so much! I am so glad you like the length. I know there are some really pretty cane type hard candies in Japan. If you ever do google image searches, and come across pretty images you would like to share for suggestions please feel free to leave the link.

stephanie smith Definately a possibility, I would ne to think on it some though, because reducing a shape like that would be more complicated

[@sayedazahra7243]

[@heathernwells]

[@arlenespaulding9686]

Thank you for a very thorough video on making the lime cane. It helps for beginners to be able to see the complete process, I'm not so apprehensive about getting onemade. You mentioned making them smaller for 'fingernails', I was hoping to see a picture of that, it would strick me as a very unusal & attactive appearance.

[@heathernwells]

Arlene Spaulding Here is a video where I actually had a few on my nails :) Thank you so much for the kind compliment too. I find the more canes I do the less problems I have with them. They can be fustrating at first, but get more satisfying as you get more experience with them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKvCg5JmlJZnj6M

It would be great if you could tell what thickness you rolled the clay that you wrap the cane with.

It would be the thickest setting to second thickest setting on your pasta roller

[@jenniferenyffeler8140]

Awesome! Do you have a tutorial for more realistic size fruit...lemons too? I make faux cakes and truffles and its hard to find the fake berries and fruit to decorate them with. I am also experimenting on how to make the curds and jams...would you have the tutorials for these too? Thank you!!

[@heathernwells]

I am sorry I missed this. They can be done real size, they become quite expensive unless you create a form underneath … like tinfoil compressed. Then covered in clay

How long do you bake the canes for before you can slice then without ruining the shape. I can’t seem to find an answer to that
