What people are saying about this tutorial.

Just finished this first workshop on how to make canes, and I must say I learned so much. This is exactly what I have been looking for, someone who could explain cane making in a step by step that process that I could replicate. I watched the videos, went into my studio and began to create all of the canes Alice showed. I finally have results I can be proud of, and I say thank you so much for doing this workshop. My only question now is when do we get more workshops. If you are only going to take one online class let it be this workshop. Thank you Alice for your hard work, and your dedication to helping others learn the joys of polymer clay.[caption id="attachment_102" align="aligncenter" width="100" caption="Member IPCA"]

A big Thank You to Petra from crazy daisy … crazy day for featuring my work on her blog. I love her earthy colors and her Cooper Leaves are wonderful. She is a member of Polymer Clay Artists Guild of Etsy and her work is for sale in her Etsy Shop.
 Cooper Leaves
My copy arrived today. I can’t wait to spend the time enjoying this addition to my polymer clay library. Just thumbing through it, I can tell you it has some fabulous eye candy.  Dora's Joy of Hex Cane
Lately, I’ve been following Dora’s Explorations Blog and her polymer clay cane experiments. She seems to enjoy the complicated canes and I understand the challenge. Her plaid canes are fabulous and there are many more just waiting for you give them a try. She is generous to share these tutorials on her website. If you want to challenge yourself, take a look at her newest cane tutorial, “Joy of Hex“. It free and the pattern possibilities are endless. Thanks Dora for sharing your talent with us.  Adrienne' s Prizes As winner of the Fish Mosaic Contest, Adrienne Lindsey will be receiving the perfume pen with one of my girls on it and as a bonus, (she doesn’t know this yet) I’ve sent her a note card with her fish on the front. I’m sending her a pdf by email with a layout for two note cards that she will be able to print over and over again. She can sell them, give away sets to friends or just use them herself for thank you notes etc. All she has to add is the envelopes. I’ve added this service to my Etsy shop, for those who don’t have the software to do it themselves. If you do have the software, you should consider using your artwork in this way. It really makes sense, you can sell the original and still continue to make money from the item. That’s what other artists do with prints of their originals. Why not Polymer Clayers? Gotta think outside the box. I just looked at Naama Zamir’s two fish that she made after viewing the video. They are so cute, they would make darling cards or prints for that matter.  Profile Face Cane Experiement I wanted to do something with my profile face canes and really wanted to do something different. I used the piece of glass from my mosaic work and lots of canes both old and new and have begun a picture. I’ve placed a piece of white paper behind the glass so that the work would show up better. So right now there is no background. This is stage one. I’m going to bake it now and add more to it later. I think, after it comes out of the oven, I’ll add a skinner blend background and see where that takes me. Stay tuned.  Adrienne Lindsey's Fish Mosaic I was very excited yesterday when I received an email from Adrienne Lindsey with her entry for the Summer Polymer Clay Contest for Newsletter Members. Adrienne’s fish is the first entry and it is always so much fun when the first one arrives. Aren’t her colors rich? I love this fish!!! Thank you Adrienne for being the first. I can’t wait for the rest of the entries to start flowing in.

Arlene Harrison from Harrison Hollow Designs has tagged me to list “Six Silly Things That Make Me Happy”. Thank you Arlene. I have so many things that make me smile, laugh and enjoy my life. But I’m not so sure how silly they are, I take happiness pretty seriously! Seriously I do! 1. Waiting for the fruit on my mango tree to ripen I’m tagging the following blogs. Take a minute and enjoy! The other day I received an email that said…psst..you’ve been gossiped about. I thought, What! are you kidding me? Then I look closely and saw that it was from Julie Leir-Van Sickle from Polymer Clay Craft Gossip. I laughed out loud! I was so pleased that she thought my video “How to Store Polymer Clay Canes” was interesting enough to feature in her blog. I’m a happy woman, thanks Julie. I used canes from the video from 2 posts ago. Lots of fun and she’s going to my Etsy shop. So I used the smallest cane I made from scraps on two pieces. I used the long thin cane as a hat base on both the pin and the bracelet. There is still enough for one more hat or blouse or who knows…..
