Polymer Clay Canes for Beginners 27 videos, step by step, beginner cane workshop
What people are saying about this tutorial.
jennifer rose
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.

 My Birthday Gift to Susan Turney! First, I’d like to thank each and everyone of you for taking the time to join in my birthday giveaway and for all the wonderful things you had to say. You certainly made my birthday special. As I said before, I wish I could send you all a prize just for being so nice, but there is only one girlfriend to give away today.
After using the random number generator this morning to select # 18, Susan Turney is the winner of my Birthday Prize. I’m so happy to be able to send this girlfriend to a girlfriend made through our love of polymer clay.
Susan is not only a pc artist willing to push the boundaries as shown in her piece below, but she is also an accomplished quilter. You can tell she is a lover of color, a kindred soul.

It’s that time of year again! Artist Lisa Swifka from A Whimsical Bohemian is holding her 5th and final event. If you don’t know what One World One Heart is here’s a quote straight from Lisa’s blog,
“One World One Heart is a worldwide event for bloggers only. It gives all those who blog a chance to meet and mingle and form connections with those they may not have otherwise met from all over the world. In the past 4 years this event has grown to over 1,000 participants with lasting friendships (and even one love connection) formed along the way. Think of it as a GIGANTIC open house allowing you to travel without ever leaving your home……..going from blog to blog(in various countries) seeing the wonder each one has created and meeting all the fabulous people behind those blogs. As a bonus each blogger participant will offer up a “door prize or prizes”….just for dropping by, saying hello and seeing their world. It’s really that easy.”
If you’re a blogger and want to join in, you can read more about it on A Whimsical Bohemian.
Tomorrow I will be posting my prize for this year. If you are a blogger and have your own blog, you can enter to win simply by leaving a comment. But you must have a blog, those are the rules. 
I’m excited, last year Jodi Creager from Creager Studios won my give-away and I was lucky enough to win THREE prizes from some very talented people…see them here.
So be sure and stop by anytime starting tomorrow and running until Jan. 17th.
 I am so thrilled to tell you I won another fabulous piece of art from another fabulous artist. I won this Altered composition book from Sherry Goodloe. Don’t you just love it? She has been trying to tell me for a couple of days, but I just didn’t get it.
You can see more of Sherry’s work on her blog. And you can take a closer look at the detail of “my” altered journal.
You also might want to take a look at what Sherry’s done with Zentangles. I thought these were so clever, and you know me with faces and crazy girls.
Thanks so much Sherry and I’m sending you my address right now.
I can stop saying I never win anything! I won this lovely watercolor painting by Susan Himmel. It was meant to be. I live in Florida, I’m a big fan of watercolor. I have the perfect spot for this painting. Thank you Susan, I’m thrilled.
