DIY Butterflies - Polymer Clay Cane

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?

+Polymer Clay Artist What an awesome video!!

[@denisettm4958]

Excellent! Well thought out. Thank you for sharing.

[@kellyherbold593]

I love the different/unique tools you use. Like a smaller, more usable box cutter.

[@juliaforgot1690]

This is the most effective tutorial I've seen. As a perfectionist, having every step explained so well is very much appreciated. Great job!

[@MegaPraiseHim]

Beautiful butterfly, great video. Thank you for sharing.

[@IrinaIvanitskaya]

What a great cane! :) Very beautiful butterfly will get! A wonderful lesson!

[@TheBroodingTom]

Irina Ivanitskaya Thank you I appreciate it!

[@dianenunley6037]

That little bit of gold is a fabulous touch!

[@ariaugust4912]

You seem so sweet and down to earth, instructions were clear and made me feel like this beautiful complicated technique is manageable!

[@nicolenewman5679]

Thank you! I have watched many cane tutorials but no one ever explains the steps this thoroughly. It is a beautiful design. I hope you continue to make tutorials. You are an excellent teacher.

[@dikdebruijn5101]

Super tutorial! Thank you very much for posting this.

[@briannacooper8381]

Excellently portrayed! Bravo! Thanks! I'm gonna try it out tonight.

[@sandiv6145]

Your clear video has given my the impetus to create my own butterfly wings. Thanks to your great instruction, I think I can do it!! Thank you so much.

[@brilynn4640]

Seriously just amazing

[@LittleCherryHill]

[@poornimar241]

God..... is this tutorial real.... hats off to u... mindblowing ..u got a real gift from god...keep it up...!!!!

[@sherylborodinsky-cummings1824]

Stunning

[@dominofalling2038]

The colour graduation effect and contrast with the black gives a totally gorgeous Tiffany glass effect. Thank you Tom for making this brilliant tutorial. I adore butterflies and am looking forward to trying this technique (with some trepidation) and making lovely jewellery pieces... fingers crossed. I will be watching all your other tutorials as you are a very talented artist and teacher with great ideas. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.

[@TheWiseMagpie1]

This is by far the best butterfly wing tutorial on KZbin!! Thanks!!

[@paulineking8484]

Thank you I am just starting some clay projects and I hadn't considered making a block of repeating colour , your video was very informative

[@pattycookie2011]

Outstanding! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@angelaviolet]

Beautiful artwork and great tips, thanks.x

[@Anamile46]

This was super cool!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@marionmathews9852]

Incredible tutorial with amazing result. So beautiful!

[@flutefun999]

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!

[@GrattedCarrot]

Looking him cutting the clay is so satisfying

[@naturallygifted2002]

Pure genius, patience, and Passion in your work.

[@pattallant2398]

Wow! These are beautiful! 👍

[@heyalicia2551]

Thank you! Love this technique! Much more sculptural than other techniques! Great inspiration and it turned out beautifully!

[@mivc17]

You are an artist, those butterflies are amazing.Thanks for share

[@catherineguest1729]

Great video. I love that you voice over all of your thoughts, errors, and methods as the video goes through. Super helpful for all types of polymer clay projects. Thank you

[@poonammishra7478]

I really liked your idea of one skinner blend and then making parts out of it, make perfect sense. Thank you

[@TheBroodingTom]

Poonam Mishra I'm glad you enjoyed this approach to making a wing, and thank YOU for commenting I really appreciate it!

[@barbieno493]

Just awesome.

[@sydneybahs6223]

I really enjoy working with polymer clay and recently I was baking cookies in tubes and wondered if the cane application would work for cookie dough so I used this video to make butterfly wing cookies I made a whole tube I can freeze and bake whenever I want. They actually turned out really pretty just butter cookie dough slightly modified and food dye. Thanks for this tutorial!!!

[@rhuechantal1240]

Amazing vid! Great instructive technique. Inspiring and fun to watch. Thank you for sharing this.

Wow! Great work

[@peggyweber688]

Most definitely the best butterfly wing I’ve found on KZbin

[@balancingpoint1871]

You have created an awesome introduction to polymer, with a finished product worth learning all these techniques. Your editing technique is REALLY appreciated, for my students who, like me, that think, or want to, in 3D. Of course, wanting more butterflies in the world is a goal we share.....THANKS!!!!

[@joannejensen5987]

Super, creative, masterful!

[@TheBroodingTom]

Thank you!

[@Elly_sam]

You did great, I love how honest you were throughout the whole video. 👍

[@eyesofashes5320]

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

[@appleoneill5135]

Absolutely brilliant and beautiful, thank you

[@allilav1265]

wow im new to polymer clay and have not done any canes yet but watch alot to learn and wowee this just blew my mind!! just amazing!!!

[@boa1793]

Impressive presentation and artwork.

[@zkargottvanhazent]

Man! Wonderful.

[@dawnb1221]

[@paigesheppard5030]

[@Jlynnlove21]

You are awesome, a true definition of an artist.

[@kelwrg]

Wonderful instructions, I'm new to this and can't wait till I feel comfortable enough to try this.

[@yamlwoz]

That was incredible. I usually have a tutorial going on one monitor while I'm working on another, but this had me mesmerised and I never took my eyes off you. Your instructions are so clear. Keep up the great work!

[@NJ-lf2wl]

This was amazing! Thank you for taking such good care to walk us through every step! Loved it!

[@KAPNDDK]

awesome video, thank you for sharing.

[@ROCKPUPPY12]

This is very helpful, thank you! I need to try this. Amazing!

[@kimbozarth2591]

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.

[@green5sing]

WOW, just beautiful!

[@kawaiipetal1644]

LOVE THIS!!! I'm definitely going to have to try this one.

[@ShegoBernstein]

Marvelous intricate work. Love it! Thanks for the video.

[@phreectube]

THANK YOU!! i've seen so many clay videos, canes and otherwise, and this is the first in a very long time that i've finished and ENJOYED!! i especially appreciate that you show your processes, and leave a link for the blend - that is time-consuming, so i appreciate not having to skip through that bit, and can go back for it later, lol!! my best friend does a lot of pc and would LOVE to see your stuff, so i will be sharing...BEST WISHES TO YOU, SIR; THANK YOU, AGAIN!!

[@morgannwilliams967]

Absolutely amazing! Thank you for making it a detailed video too. It helps those who REALLY want to know how you made them. :)

[@artbyfaith]

VeryNICE! Beautiful!

[@kerrylamb682]

Love this video! I was wondering how some of the more complex cains were made and now I have a technique to play with. Thank you!

[@Shooniesque]

Simply beautiful! Loved watching the progress and seeing all the intricate detailing. Gorgeous work, keep it up!
