Tropical Leaf Cane in Polymer Clay, a Tutorial.

Thank you so very much Fiona!
I the flower bowl. The 3D effect is astounding in the colors used..one of the things that makes your work one of a kind is your eye for mixing & matching stunning color schemes..I would love if you could do maybe a very indepth video explaining your methods or how you go about choosing the colors for canes. Plus helping us, those who lack the ability to mix & match colors. I would attend whether a live class, we could as questions-hint hint- or I would buy a pdf course, just something that crossed my mind.
But again, thank you for this excellent leaf cane video.

Thanks so much Tanya 🙂 To be honest I shy away from doing that as it can be a very technical subject and I am very much not an expert in that field, and would no doubt use the wrong terminology when taking about shades, tones etc 🤣😂There are also many experts who have written some wonderful books on the subject. I am very much an instinctive colour mixer, however the biggest tip I can give is when you are wondering on colour choices, look at images of flower bouquets, or material designs, both of which give great examples of colour schemes that work really well. I hope that helps a bit 🙂
