Thanks so much Sam, great video, very nicely done! I for one would love to see a whole project for making a bead using this technique. I can learn a technique OK, but then completely lack the imagination to make something out of it. Complete project videos are what I would most like to request. It was helpful to see what you had done with the lace cane at the end.
Janet McBride I give you a tip if you don't mind. I like so save pictures or screenshot of video-tutorials, then, after a while, when I'm planning to do something and I can decide .. that's when I see the pictures that I've saved , it gives me tons of ideas. I hope that helps!
Thank you once again for your easy to follow instructions. I would love to see a project tutorial using either the lace cane or the bubble cane. Your work is absolutely beautiful! ♥♥
Wonderful tutorial. No I see what's been missing from my translucent cane I made a while back. I missed wrapping another layer of translucent over the white and translucent pug. Thanks so much!!!
This is such a beautiful cane and I would love to see a project tutorial on it. Your collar is the nicest example that I have seen done with polymer clay. Your designs are stunning! Thank you.
Another great tutorial, Samantha. Love translucent with white...such a cool effect that can be layered on top of anything, really (ooh, how about layered over watercolor technique?!). The possibilities are endless! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Hi Samantha. I just rewatched this after getting more familiar with translucent clay. Great video! Anyway, I had an idea for a project using this wonderful cane. Hope that's okay? I can see several (or more) disks just like you showed in this tutorial suspended on varying lengths of chain for earrings, or even a tassel pendant. You could vary the sizes of the disks. You could roll the cane in silver or gold leaf. You could add a few pearls or crystals. Kind of a beachy effect, with the translucent/white effect. Also, "white goes with everything" LOL. Personally, most polymer clay earrings are wayyy too "much" for me to ever wear, but I think these could be rather simple, light and classy. I am not doing them (yet) because I don't have the skills or supplies to create them. And you sure have the talent!! Thanks for considering this!
Great tutorial and I was able to easily make this. Unfortunately, bummed with these. Made them this morning. I put a translucent green behind one and mother of pearl white behind the other, to make them more substantial and give a hue. Baked according to instructions. The bubbles in front of the mother of pearl turned piss yellow, and a few burned and browned. The ones on the green looked better but still toasted. Lost much of the contrast in the bubbles. Does this look better using white-translucent? They were so pretty until I baked them 😭
Please look at the article. It explains to properties of each translucent brand. I should help with your problem here. www.jessamatutorials.com/translucent-polymer-clay.html
Jessama Tutorials That helped a lot, thank you! I already ordered two 1lb blocks of the white translucent. I baked my first translucents with paper top and bottom and only 30 minutes and was shocked they toasted. Will keep playing with it!
I'm curious what a cane like this would look like if you use Premo white translucent instead of the Premo white. Would there not be enough difference between the two translucents and it would look like a solid log of translucent?
Hmm. I'm not sure that there would be enough difference between the colors. Maybe if you used a more dramatic translucent like Pardo there would be enough contrast. I don't know. I think it's worth looking into though.
Jessama Tutorials Thank you Samantha, I'll watch it. As regards to a bracelet which rolls to itself, do you intend to make a video? It seems that this kind of bracelet involves a different technique. Thanks again.
You are an amazing artist. Thank you for sharing your talent. ❤️ I do have a question. I had seen/read somewhere that if you put your translucent slay in cold water after baking, the translucent part will become clearer. Have you heard this or ever tried it?
Здравствуйте!А можно цвета глин писать и дополнительно и номера,во всех мастер классах?!Спасибо,за замечательные познавательные мастер классы,и украшения!!!!
I wish I knew how to do that too. At the moment I don't know how to use resin on a curved or domed piece without wasting a lot of resin. Translucent liquid clay is your best bet for a glossy replacement that can be used on a domed piece. I use Kato translucent liquid clay and I find that it works best.
I don't have a video showing these scraps in particular, but I have a number of ways to incorporate scraps as a whole into other projects. Here's a playlist showing some of those techniques. ruclips.net/video/Z3JIJ8EmOvU/видео.html
Hi Samantha, thank you so much for sharing your ideas with us. I visited your site today and read some of your articles. I want to ask: (1) I read that White and Translucent clay are susceptible to burning and PREMO is a troublesome clay in this case. I use PREMO, what would you recommend me to use? (2) When should we leach the clay? (3) Would you recommend PYM sealer? (4) Sometimes I use Alcohol Ink to paint the surface. Can I use Wax to seal the project? Thanks a lot for your advice.
Premo is okay, but I prefure Pardo or Cernit if I can. Leach the clay when it's too soft the work with. PYM2 is a good sealer, but I don't think you can get hold of it anymore. If you put the alcohol ink onto raw clay and bake it the wax will seal it.
Jessama Tutorials Thanks a lot for your advice. Can you please repeat your answer regarding PYM. Do you mean we cannot find it easily to buy it? One more thing, when I use WAX, in this case to seal Alcohol Ink, should I rebake my project? Thank you in advance for your time and help.
I haven't been able to get hold of PYM2 in Australia for a long time, but the manufacture seems to have retired and isn't making it anymore. If you do seal with wax you can bake again, but don't have to.
I do have a tutorial on what I did using this bubble cane. www.etsy.com/au/listing/564863969/rain-drops-and-oyster-shells-necklace?ref=shop_home_active_10
Jessama Tutorials see I've always found my stuff starts to split crack or crumble when I do that. If I leave it in longer than usual I use a "off" techniques as I bake everything and when they're done turn the oven off and wedge an oven mitt in the door for it to cool slowly. I've found that makes things very strong without the breakage. I wish I could find a way to completely eliminate the crumbling. I don't even know why it happens a lot. I make a cane. Cut pieces. Half are fine half break. All cooked at the same time.
That's strange. My polymer clay doesn't do that. What brand are you using? Generally the cracks are a result of trapped air or water. I sometimes get cracks, but not often.
That collar necklace is gorgeous!
What a lovely effect 😍 Thank you. Would love to see a project with this cane
Love your tutorials Samantha a great tutor and you're very thorough and explain everything really well.

Beautiful Samantha!
Love to see a project tutorial, thanks for you great effort?
I’d love to see a project tutorial for one of those collar necklaces!
Beautiful.. I would love to see a honeycome cane and I would love to see you do something with that cane you are building
Such a lovely idea. Thank you so much for ll the tutorials, I really enjoy it. Would love it if you could do a Tortoise tutorial. ;)
Would love to see the tutorial on that collar you are making it's stunning.
It's in the long list of tutorials to do. Lol 😉
I would love to see more, this is great!
where do you purchase your clay......I can barely find any other than gray black and white
Yes, I would like to see a bubble cane.
Thanks for the tutorial. How do you store your canes after they are made? Thanks. ❤
great info. thanks.
This is awesome!!
Great tips, thanks 👍
Could earrings be done with this? Just trying to figure out how to turn into a slab.
Yes. You can make earrings. Just take slices of the cane and burnish them together to make a slab. Then cut out your earrings.

I would like to know where you got the form for the necklace. I am new at this and you are one of my favorite. your pieces are beautiful.
Samantha, do you have any video on how to create a flexible bracelet which rolls on itself?
No. I don't have a tutorial for a bracelet that flexible. The only bracelet tutorial I have is here. www.jessamatutorials.com/polymer-clay-cuff.html
Jessama Tutorials Thank you Samantha, I'll watch it.
As regards to a bracelet which rolls to itself, do you intend to make a video? It seems that this kind of bracelet involves a different technique. Thanks again.
Anita/Samantha - sounds like a memory wire bracelet?
excellent!
You are an amazing artist. Thank you for sharing your talent. ❤️
I do have a question. I had seen/read somewhere that if you put your translucent slay in cold water after baking, the translucent part will become clearer. Have you heard this or ever tried it?
That's a myth. It doesn't actually make the translucent clearer.

Hello, could you explain how to resin à curve or dome piece please ? Thanks from réunion Island 😉

You baked those an hour?! What temp that seems a long time for such a thin piece
I as a general rule bake anything I make for at least an hour.

Jessama Tutorials Thanks a lot for your reply.
About how much clay are you using?
I'm using about 1/4 of a small block of white and 3/4 of a small block of translucent.
I'd love to see what you would make with this.
I do have a tutorial on what I did using this bubble cane. www.etsy.com/au/listing/564863969/rain-drops-and-oyster-shells-necklace?ref=shop_home_active_10
This doesn't seem to work for me. It takes me to your Etsy shop where I see pictures but that's all.
Yes. It's a payed tutorial.
Oh, duh, sorry. I'm new to Etsy!
Superbe 💕💎💕
Why would you bake such a thin chip for an hour?
Because it makes the clay nice and strong. It also allows me to make sure the clay is baked properly. It's a bit of a habit.
Jessama Tutorials see I've always found my stuff starts to split crack or crumble when I do that. If I leave it in longer than usual I use a "off" techniques as I bake everything and when they're done turn the oven off and wedge an oven mitt in the door for it to cool slowly.
