Polymer Clay Canes for Beginners

27 videos, step by step, beginner cane workshop beginner Cane Tutorial 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.

A Bunch of Girls – Face Beads – Polymer Clay

Face Beads

Face Beads

I  made 9 face beads, had so much fun, and now I’m selling them one at a time. I’m showing them here before I list them on Etsy. I started taking pictures of each of them, front and back, cutting each one out, putting them in separate files and decided that it was way more work than I wanted to do and not as much fun as making them. I rather spend my time making them…………

So here they are for a day or two before I start listing them on Etsy.  They’re $8.00 each, about 1″ around and slightly flattened from front to back, not completely round.

If you think you might be interested in purchasing one or two or all, email me. alice@polymerclayetc.com. I’ll send you more information and pictures. If you have a paypal account, it’s easy.

Thanks to all those who shot me a quick email or left a comment on one of my post here on the blog. I heard from a lot of you after my newsletter, it nice to know you read it.

And thanks to all of you who have ordered from my Etsy shop, it’s greatly appreciated.

My Polymer Clay Beads, Vickie Evans’ East Coast – West Coast Watch

Focal Face Beads in Vicky Evens East Coast - West Coast Watch

This winter, I went to my friend Sherry McKinney’s house (a very talented beader and polymer clay artist) to a beading party. I met Vickie Evans that day and she bought a set of three beads from me. I asked her to send me a picture of whatever she made from them and she did and I’m thrilled. This watch is so much fun, and what a clever idea to put two watch faces on one bracelet. I have many “snowbird” friends that could use a watch like this.

Here’s what Vicky wrote, “You said you would like to see them in a bracelet.  I made a East Coast, West Coast watch, because I travel between Ohio, Florida, and Seattle.  I  am totally bead crazed and cannot stop making jewelry. Your artwork is very inspiring.  Thank you for making these bewitching beads.”

I think you might be on to a whole new line of jewelry. I thank you Vicky for sharing what you made with me. You made my day.
