Reducing Square Canes The Blue Bottle Tree Polymer Clay Cane Tutorial Hold the square rods against the cane so that as the pressure from the roller presses down, the cane moves lengthwise instead of expanding in width. repeat until all sides of the cane are exactly the same height as the rods. you can then move to the next smaller set of rods, rolling the cane in the same way, reducing square canes to be the same. A polymer clay cane can be reduced by squeezing and compressing. this makes the diameter of the log smaller and the design smaller. learn about reducing square canes here. polymer clay canes are similar in concept to murrine, which are glass canes used in traditional venetian glassworking. be aware that polymer clay canes are not correctly.

Reducing Square Polymer Clay Canes Wake up your canes first by warming them. carry them next to your body or set them on a low (body temperature) heating pad for a while. next, gently start wiggling the cane. twist it gently. essentially, you are trying to make the clay move on a micro level without causing the design to smear or distort. do this for a while, and you should. Polymer clay canes that have been sitting for a few days may be stiff and need to be warmed up and loosened a bit to avoid cracking when reducing. wiggle, compress and warm cane in hands to help clay move better. an acrylic sheet and rollers will help with cane reduction. press cane on sides with acrylic sheet, to square up cane sides. Polymer clay cane reduction | reduce irregular cane shapescane packing is an especially useful technique to learn when creating canes that use freeform shape. Cobble stone cane polymer clay leftover technique. this cobble stone cane is a great way to use up leftover cane ends. it creates an interesting pattern, perfect for the background of any polymer clay project. the one in this tutorial is made using the leftover cane ends of a black and white flower cane.

See the video for instructions. pinch the straggly ends together. press the cane together and reduce so that you can stack it. trim off the untidy ends. cut and stack once to produce a mirror image. press it together again and cut. you’ll find that the pattern is more muted and has almost a flame like pattern. When reducing the cane, you can monitor this registration mark to make sure that it is staying straight and not getting twisted. as long as the line stays straight, the cane will be straight inside. wow! now that was one excellent cane tutorial series, cindy. thank you! i learned so much and had so much fun trying each of the components!.
