Creating A Spotted Flower Cane with Polymer Clay Tutorial

[@52-love-52]

Out of all the sites. This is my favorite one. I really really love ❤️ this one. You are an excellent teacher 😊

[@earwennoldorin3888]

A friend gave me her sister's stash of clay when the sister passed recently. To honor the gift I had to relearn all the techniques I had forgotten. Susan is now my new "guru". The videos are not only presented in a "user friendly way", but also I thoroughly enjoyed watching them, of all the videos I have watched. Susan is the type of lady I find I could have a cup of tea with, or something stronger and talk beads and clay all day.

[@turtlesoupbeads751]

TY😊

[@berniceseigel6482]

So pretty flowers and puppy!

[@jneigler]

[@staceyr4766]

[@melimel9265]

your dog at the end was awesome

[@kathleengibson8722]

I will be starting to work with polymer clay this year ! . . . I can't wait ! . . . Keep beading, keep creating ! . . .

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Welcome to polymer ! It's so fun

[@krystynasanecka6612]

Hi Susan, you're the only one of those I watch on youtube that combines colors so fantastically and bravely. Great. Thank you very much.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Wow, thank you!

[@lindasimmons7983]

Yesterday was my birthday! This is like a birthday present for me! A new cane tutorial that I’ll love! Can’t wait to make this one with my granddaughter!

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Happy Birthday Linda ! 🎂 hope you had a great day

[@ABergieCreation]

Love your videos so much Susan! Thank you!

[@SW-ig7jy]

I have watched all your videos and I'm a better clayer for the way you explain techniques. You have the skill or ability in the field of polymer clay to explain how the clay works. This is one of the best videos for my learning curve. I have made many flowers but they were always a bit off (my flowers looked drunk ;). This week after your spotted flower video came out, I have made 5 flowers! IMO the flowers are beautiful (due to your instructions and close-ups). The extra time you took in explaining was "awesome". I'm a seed beader at heart and cannot wait to incorporate your style with clay into my seed beading. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Omg ! These beads will make your bead work pop Welcome to my addiction ! as you can tell from my other videos I'm a true seed beader also polymer and seed beads are just a magical combination

[@francis999]

Another wonderful and useful video, tanx Susan and have a great day!

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

TY😊

[@patriciathornton1154]

Hi Susan, I noticed the color combo for this on pinterest the other day and was hoping for a video on how to do. Voila, posted a few hours ago! Absolutely beautiful bead and I know I will be making a lot of this cane in different colors this weekend!! Thank you for sharing your creativity and expertise. Also, absolutely loved your studio tour videos done by your talented daughter! It inspired me to clean up my craft room and display some of my work....and now I enjoy the atmosphere even more. You are very inspirational!!!

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Oh so glad you displayed your work , ashame to think you work so hard and dont enjoy it

[@Karibee61]

Oh wow, no I am so excited. If you hadn't of come along at the right time I think I would have given up. Love all and everything you make and do.xxx

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Never give up ! Let it rest just dont give up

[@catibree1]

The classic stare down at the end..... I lost... then she turned away.... I knew, that she knew, she had won... Really nice video Susan, thanks..

[@joannmendez5897]

This flower is my favorite of all flower, it's very amazing

[@kathiehayes865]

Okay, off to my arts and craft stores for more clay. These flowers are beautiful. I especially like the tiger lily. I’m having fun watching and trying to recreate. Friends and family are wearing some of my earrings and necklaces. I think they like them. At least that’s what they say... so I’m going with that. Thanks, Susan.

[@turtlesoupbeads751]

I'm sure your pieces are beautiful!

[@tishsmiddy71]

Thank you 😊 enjoy your Creativity that you share , Susan .

[@melbabowen4389]

FABULOUS as always

[@rozsommariva1173]

Thank you Susan, i can only imagine that it takes a lot of time preparing tutorials. You are a wonderful teacher and I appreciate your commitment and skill. Roz from oz

[@turtlesoupbeads751]

Yes it takes me 30 or more hours to do a video ! Most people never realize but I think it's worth it ty

[@carolroberts8539]

It's definitely worth it! Thanks for inspiring all of us!

[@louiseparkes3155]

Loving your latest beads. I have made so many of your beads as I love glitter too and pot the gold leaf around. I must get round to putting them together. Love your little cutie pie. I'm an animal lover but have Labradors.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Omg! I love big labs they are luscious

[@kayperry7999]

Beautiful. Thank you

[@rhondaglass6711]

It is such a joy to watch and learn your techniques. I feel that I am being taught by a master artist. Thank you again for sharing your talent and making it possible for me to learn a new craft. I truly LOVE your personality and ability to teach! May God bless you richly!

[@turtlesoupbeads751]

Thank you so much !

[@spaceoddity8292]

Hermoso Susan!! Las posibilidades y combinaciones son tantas!! Como dijiste.. Es nuestra fantasia😍 Muchas gracias y cariños desde Argentina!

[@turtlesoupbeads751]

Gracias!

[@susanjerrell9220]

Love your videos better than any other polymer clay artist. The look on your little dog's face is priceless at the end too; and the snoring, oy! LOL

[@mercedesmarton3768]

I just love how you address some of my problems! Thank you for the great advices 💕💕

[@beadmore]

Hi Susan, Tfs this video. I have learned quite a lot from watching your other videos too. You are gifted and have the ability to share your thoughts & projects with others. I nearly fell out of my chair when you showed us the other flower beads that you made using this technique. So many variations. Thanks again for all the time you spend with your viewers.🙂 Btw you have a cute little muffin pup. So sweet. Stay safe. Your friend from the Missouri Ozarks.🙃❤

[@lianeanderson2800]

So glad to see a new video, Susan! You make it look so easy. Love the tropical looking jewelry made with these canes. I love that your dog signs off on them!

[@1tinac]

Oh I love these. Surprise huh. I get so excited when I see your new videos pop up. Thanks for sharing.

[@anitahorn1457]

Your back!!! I've been waiting dy your site with bated breath. You have taught me so much and I don't really do beads, but love yours. I bought jewelry in a former life and still love it. Your devoted fan Anita Horn in Texas.👌😀🦋🌹

[@kimmieskreations1969]

one of these days I'm going to be brave enough to buy some clay and just play... I love your tutorials and they're very easy to understand.

[@colleengarland8977]

I can’t wait till I get back to my studio to make these. In Florida till the end of the month. Loving the sunshine!

[@MB-DesignsTexas]

So pretty!

[@wellness4me2]

HI-WOW! it's Corona time- and I just got back to working with clay after a 18 year recess. I had never done a Skinner blend and was always scared..but YOU are an absolute genius...I LOVE you ! and have become a complete groupie! My cane came out a bit softand mushy, do I had to let it set overnight but it still looks awesome! I my not use the canes for beads- but I promise to make beautiful things with them! Many hugs from Israel!

[@legallyoverton]

Really pretty

[@katkathi709]

It looks like a plug🤔😁!.... Loved those colors and these flowers... All your videos are fun and really easy to follow. Thank you !

[@stellagracia3913]

I never get tired of watching your videos. I watch and reference them over many times, learning more each time. I can't express enough how much I appreciate your sharing of your talent. Your are a great teacher as well. THANKS! I love how you show the mixes of colors you used to make the canes for the various flowers, etc., your puppy and your extra special puppy doll, showed in another tutorial.

[@vivsalittlebitcrafty4854]

Since discovering your channel, I've become obsessed with polymer clay and even more obsessed with your videos!! 😂

[@turtlesoupbeads751]

Omg! TY😊

[@MadebyaBEAutifulqueenBea]

This is AWESOME!! My Honeybee is ready to show me how to do polymer clay. Lol 💙🐝💙

[@turtlesoupbeads751]

Your so cute ! 😍

[@georgiacorey954]

Beautiful.

[@lizhummer1280]

I love your videos! I’m a very “by the book” kind of person-I use rulers, you don’t; I worry when clay is too dark; you don’t! I need to learn to be more laid back and your videos help with that. You have tips just about the point I would start stressing out and suddenly, all is good again! I love how you mix the types of clay, pearl/glitter with a solid color, but I especially love the gold leaf! Thank you for taking the time to share your videos as well as your show and tell with the items you’ve made or the color variation of the same cane.

[@turtlesoupbeads751]

Thank you and dont stress it ruins the fun 😊

[@mihaeladacianrads2408]

I am from Romania. I just want to tell you that you are amaizing. I love the way how you explain everything. Thanks for your advice❤. You have a cute dog❤❤❤

[@susanmanson5810]

Susan- yet again, you created a masterpiece! Can't wait to try making some. Thank you.

[@maryoesterborg9397]

Thanks for wonderful tutorials! I don’t use clay, yet, but you are convincing me that I’m missing out!

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

It's so fun 😊

[@lizrichardson3309]

Gorgeous cane! My mojo has finally come back after nearly 5 months.... I can see a whole weekend of claying ahead! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@turtlesoupbeads751]

That's awesome happy claying !

[@sandravega5732]

Cute little baby you got there.

[@zlaria7_time72]

Just beautiful! Thank you so much for a new video. Your fur baby at the end is being so very patient with you. Lol. Give her a hug from me. She's precious

[@eileenosullivan4748]

Beautiful thank you Susan

[@claudinefostier605]

Very beautiful !

[@harmony331000]

Stunning as per usual 🥰

[@katkathi709]

My OCD kicked in at that little black dot on the green clay when you finished the last fold, I just could not quit focusing on that!.... I know it makes no difference to anything, but it is 4 a.m. and I am getting way past silly, trying to get sleepy enough to get a nap before I have to get up to start my day. .....It is just not happening! ... so thanks for being here to keep me company, at least I am learning something and even making myself laugh....thanks again, you really are awesome and talented.

[@PanicLedisko]

You're not alone haha it was driving me crazy too haha

[@zoeemiko8149]

So gorgeous! I have several canes I finished and making beads is in progress but oh how I want to set those aside and make these.. right now! That's one of the great joys of polymer clay, you can always set it aside and come back to it later. Mine still don't come out as nice as yours do but practice practice practice! I'll get there eventually. Like you I've taken to adding the gold leaf to the outside - it adds that "glam" and richness these beads deserve. One of my friends comes over just to visit and plays with my stash of beads. Making necklace or bracelet arrangements for hours on end. It's great fun watching what she comes up with. I watched your bead room video. No wonder you always have the perfect combination of beads to go with whichever clay bead line you've made! What a stash. I admit.. envy set in. haha.. I keep trying to grow mine but I seem to use them up as fast as I get them in. One of these days I'll bite the bullet and do a huge bead order. Thanks again for sharing your amazing talent with us. It's so very generous of you.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

If it makes you feel any better I have won numerous firemountaingems beading contests and they pay you in beads ! So I have thousands of dollars that I won that really helped my stash

[@lisatherrien2377]

All of your beads are gorgeous, and you are a fantastic teacher. Thank you so much for sharing your time, techniques, and talent. I enjoy you channel very much.

[@lilaalabed2527]

Honestly Susan, you make the most beautiful beads! I love your videos. They are so informative and inspiring and you make it look easy. Thank you so much for sharing. Now, to go make something pretty...

[@shirleyhartley3335]

I just love how you put the clay circles down so we know how you came up with the different colors. Thanks for the video!

[@judyhobday4760]

figuring out how to make all those wonderful canes would keep me awake all night and still never be able to do them. Thank you so much for your creativity.

[@diannabooth6901]

[@ASHAZULL123]

TurtleSoupBeads jijiji I think it’s my way to replace the missing words that I don’t know in English So what I do it’s I invited my own language lol I have really weird way to see things lol Like for example I see your head like a beautiful fairyland library with stairs that go up and down and doors 🚪 that hide your memories I imagine that some rooms are very bright and some not to much lol 😆 some pink and some blue The top one ☝️ where the gold stairs are it’s a special door 🚪 it’s tiny gold with brocade and diamonds and it’s your most lovely 😊 memories like your Grandma 👵! There’s more people there ladies and a guy a big angel that it’s looking the door but it’s very cute with pointy ears ...... Lol I think that I can write a book on the way I imagine people’s that I love ❤️
