Polymer clay cane tutorials put to the test

For the review please see the post on my new blog -  ww.carajane.co.uk

I have found and used lots of free polymer clay cane tutorials on the internet, thank you to all those clever people out there who share their knowledge.

For a while I have come across tutorials that you have to buy and I have always wondered if it would be worth it. Well one day I decided I would splash out and give them a go. I have been delighted with the canes I have made and I hope I can now take what I have learned from these talented artists into some amazing creations of my own.

The main difference between these tutorials and the ones people share freely is the level of detail. They are complex canes and there are many pages of photographs to make sure you can follow them easily.

I have bought 3 now and love them all.

Brand comparison

I have finally written up my polymer clay brand comparison trials. You can find them on my blog here

For me, for making canes I am now sold on Kato. The clay is very firm which helps to keep good definitions in the cane (once you have made it workable).

Here is one of the canes I have made from Kato clay.

 

This is a pendant with a crystal added to the centre

A smaller slice made into a simple bead

This cane was made using a tutorial I bought from  Sigaliot Designs Etsy Store.

It is a great tutorial, very clear and easy to follow and I was stunned with the results I got first time. It is also a beautiful tutorial Sagit has really taken time and effort over it. You can see more of her work at her blog http://www.sigaliotdesigns.blogspot.com/
