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.

Arlene Harrison’s Polymer Clay Business Card Cases

Business Card Cases

After Arlene Harrison signed up for my newsletter and my video showing how I cover business card cases, she emailed me saying that she had some cases that she just hadn’t gotten around to doing.

Yesterday she emailed me the picture above of the cases she finished after watching my video. I don’t claim to have influenced her polymer clay work, but if I helped with anything, then that’s a good thing.

Arlene has been a featured artist on the website of Polymer Clay Artists Guild of Etsy.
She “found” PC about Three years ago. Well…I think “you’ve come a long way lady” in only three years.

Visit her Etsy Shop or her blog, Harrison Hollow Designs, and more of her work on her Picture Trail Site. Arlene is also a member of the Central Mississippi Polymer Clay Guild.

I’ll be posting the Business Card Holder Video soon here for everyone. I’ve replaced it on my newsletter signup with the Fish Mosaic tutorial video.

Thank you Arlene for taking the time to share your cases with me.

Etsy Artists Featured in Polymer Clay Chameleon Video

Eugena from Eugena’s Creations produces a video once a month that features the work of PCAOE’s members that she highlights on The Polymer Clay Chameleon. I was delighted when my Fantasy Fish Pin was featured and is now in the video below along with all the other wonderful pieces from other Etsy polymer clay artists.

Many thanks to Eugena and the work and time involved.

Polymer Clay Craft Gossip

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.

Polymer Clay Skinner Blend Storage – Video

I was mixing colors yesterday and as I was storing them, I realized that there might be another couple of tips that I could pass on. Many of you already use part or all of the storage ideas that I’ll show you, but I know how much they have helped me be more productive and wanted to share. Let me know what you think, leave a comment. Tell me what you do to store your clay.

I do want to add my name to those who are grateful to Judith Skinner for sharing her brilliant blending method. What would we do without it?

How to Store Polymer Clay Canes – Video

I tried everything, from plastic bags to shoe boxes, but nothing ever worked as well as what I’m using now to store my canes. I still am guilty of not cleaning up my work space as often as I should, but I’m soooo much neater than I used to be because of my storage system. I hope you can use what I’ve learned.

New Polymer Clay Cuff Bracelet Using Face Canes

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…..

Don’t Waste That Little Bit of Skinner Blend – A Video

Here’s my video showing how I use even the scraps of every skinner blend I make. This may not be anything new to those of you who are experienced clayers, but if it helps anyone figure out how to make canes instead of scrap clay, then I’ll be happy.

I’ve already used some of the canes on some projects and I’ll show those in the next post.

Oh, and a correction to the video. I called an old jelly roll cane that I used, a bulls eye cane. It really is a jelly roll.
