@@aquilathered8444 Easy: I'm dirt poor, I simply cannot afford to buy clay, tools, a pasta machine, an oven, etc. I also wouldn't have a place to put the new tools. Nor time to actually play with them. Having a hobby is only a dream for some of us.
Every time the signature music starts, I go to my happy place. I know that for the next few moments in time, I'm going to relax, distress and most importantly watch a fabulously talented artist create beauty and sophistication from a lump of clay! Just amazing! Thank you.
Fiona, you have such marvelous talent! Each cane is more beautiful than the last! I don't know how you do it, but I'm grateful that you do! I simply love it!
Outstanding artistry and craftsmanship. Can't believe it's taken YT so long to recommend your channel to me, considering all the junk they do try to pawn off on you. Looking forward to delving into your back catalog of work- countless hours of relaxing, stress-free content for me to absorb. You've converted on old model maker into a believer in the finer points of polymer clay artistry, and for that, a hearty thanks. Can't wait for your next one.
Thanks so much :) I will not be doing a fish tutorial for any of the recent fish I have made, as I use a base form technique that I learnt in a workshop given by the wonderful Adam Thomas Reese. Obvioulsy I would not dream of showing a technique that another polymer artist has as their own tutorial - I am sure you understand. I am so glad though that you like my fish ;) Adam is going to be doing workshops on his fish in July, here is a link to his Facebook page with details, if you are interested ;) facebook.com/profile.php?id=100052214511971
Absolutely love the look of this cane. A little geometric with a hint of flowers! Thank you once again for sharing your talent and time for a great tut!!!
Coming back to this cane SO many times because I think 1. This is amazing 🤩 best cane ever 2. You are the best teacher 💐 Thank you so much for all you do for all of us. This is priceless 💝
I love your professionalism and excellent instructions, I am fairly new to polymer clay and I admit you are most definitely on my go-to list of tutors. P.S your voice is lovely
Another absolutely marvelous tutorial. As someone previously said, as soon as your signature music starts, I can feel my self relaxing and calming. This is just beautiful, I look forward to trying it. And when you showed the fish at the end, I literally gasped... it's fantastic!
Wow! Just wow! I haven’t even watched it yet. That’s just an incredibly fantastic design. I’m so happy when you post, Fiona. Almost finished and want to say you’ve got an engineering mind with a perfect amount of doing the unusual. Then there’s a good dose of obsessive compulsive that I’m so thankful for. Just delightful.
Love your work Fiona, it never disappoints, just stunning colours, I just love watching you work, I wish I could delve into your brain to see how you come up with all your ideas, patterns, theory's the whole lot. You are just brilliant, thank you so much for the time you take to present us with these beautiful canes and pieces following. Muchly appreciated, 💜🙏💐💖
Fiona that is an absolutely gorgeous cane! Thank you ever so much for sharing with us. The cutting part makes me a little nervous but I’m sure when it is sitting right in front of you it wouldn’t be so bad. I was so thankful to see you cut through the whole cane and not just where the curve will sit. 🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
Gosh!! It is so good to have a brand new tutorial from you, Fiona!! This is just stunning and I get a very Art Nouveau feel from it!! Now I am sad because it is over! But I can watch it again!!! Thank you, Fiona!!!
As always I am blown away by your work! Looks like I will be making another bowl in the near future :) I am all caught up on my sanding, so I can have fun playing now LOL
Hi Fiona, thank you so much for your wonderful tutorials !!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to ask you what polymer clay you use. Thanks again for your valuable shares !!!! Silvia
Hi Silvia, thank you so much :) I mention in all my tutorial which clay I am using for that project, but outside of that I tend to use all the well known, recognised brands, and I like them all. They all have very slightly different properties, so I switch between them depending on what I am making. I started with FIMO Soft as it was easily available in my area, so tend to use that most, but I also love Premo, Kato, Cernit and the newer Cos Clay too, although that has very different properties to the others. I recommend that people start with what is easily available to them and experiment with the other brands once they are more used to working with polymer clay, as it is then easier to spot the difference, and decide which clays you like best. I hope that helps a bit ;) Thank you :)
Stunning. Thank you so much. I’ve been anxiously waiting for your tutorial on this cane. It’s my absolute favourite. You’re so talented and i love your choices of colours.
I don't even do polymer clay, I'm just here watching your mesmerizing movements and listening to your soothing voice! You're my meditation. :)
Fiona has the best voice. I think Audible should get her to record audio books
Awww, thanks so much Super Peppi :)
Thank you so much as well Kirrily :)
How can you resist trying it?! I love this.... my best coping mechanism and my own meditation
