Complex Rose Cane in Polymer Clay Tutorial.

When I started making complex picture canes in polymer clay, it was a very steep learning curve. I made many, many mistakes but learnt a lot. In this video I have tried to give all the tips and techniques I can, to avoid others making the same mistakes. It is a long video, it is detailed, it is aimed at those wanting to make, or who are interested in how to make, a complex cane.
If this is not for you, please don’t watch 😉
For those who want to know, sit back, relax, and hopefully get some ideas/inspiration so that you can make one of your own.
If anyone has any additional tips they would like to share please add those in the comments below, any additional advice for others would be greatly appreciated.
