Vol-053-1: Video #293: Introduction: In this 6 part video tutorial series, you will first learn how to create a Checkered Paisley Cane. Then, you will use slices from the cane to make some beautiful beads. And finally the beads will be used to in a well designed, professionally finished bracelet design. The videos will contain a variety of tips and techniques that will not only have you creating a stunning piece of jewelry, but will also give you some new skills that can be applied to other jewelry making projects as well.
Vol-053-2: Video #294: Checkered Paisley Cane Center: In this second video, you will learn how to create the checkered center of the paisley designed cane, as well as some valuable tips on how to condition your polymer clay properly.
Vol-053-3: Video #295: Building on the Cane Design: This section takes the paisley design further by building on more detailed layers with the help of an extruder. Please note that one tiny step was accidentally omitted in this clip, and was later addressed in the Video #297 (Part 5). Although the step is not critical, you may want to watch all the videos including #297, before beginning your cane, so you can include the missing layer should you want to. Sorry about the mistake.
Vol-053-4: Video #296: Reducing Canes and Using Scraps: The neat thing about this video is that I will show you how to use your one cane design and its resulting scraps to create several new cane design options. There is no such thing as waste when it comes to polymer clay.
Vol-053-5: Video #297: Making Polymer Clay Cane Beads: In this video you will learn tips and tricks for adding cane slices to beads, getting a nice smooth surface, properly baking and ultimately finishing your beads in a professional manner.
Vol-053-6: Video #298: Paisley Bead Bracelet Assembly: In this final segment of the series, you will master the techniques and tools needed to string your newly made Checkered Paisley Beads into a beautiful, functional and well designed bracelet that you can wear, gift or sell with confidence and pride!

1-A: Shipwreck 2-A: Rusted Hull 3-A: Astoria 4-A: Iredale . . . . |
Shipwreck is the name I gave the brightest of the Rusty Orange shades found on the disintegrating shipwreck. Rusted Hull is the more muted and slightly more Ochre colored Rust Orange shade found within the flakes of oxidized metal. Astoria is the strange Grayish Purple color also found on the hull, named for the city Astoria just North of the beach where this ship was stranded. And I chose Iredale as the name for the Greenish Tan color found in the lichens and Barnacles that have attached themselves to the ship… because the ship was named the Peter Iredale and Iredale sounded Irish to me, and therefore somewhat appropriate for this soft shade of Green.

Customer Reviews: Checkered Paisley Cane Project (6 Videos):
- I KNEW it would be great! I can’t fathom how you come up with all theses wonderful designs. You are one very talented lady, Cindy! You are so special to share your talent with us at such a little cost. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity! ~Sandra-J
- WOW! What a plethora of information you have provided for us in this series!!! I love the cane work using an extruder, it makes it so much easier! Thank you so much! I love the finished pieces too!! ~Michele-D
- Frankly, Cindy, I shudder to think what would have become of me had you not come up on Google. For someone rehabbing, using your system cannot be beat. I started all over again, from the Beginners Tutes. I learned to do things mentally and physically that improved my original skills but still work with wonkey hands. The paisley can is a perfect example. Thank you so much. ~Jocelyn-C
- WOW!! Really excited about this one, the paisley beads are beautiful! ~Lesley-S
- Oh this is gonna be good. I love cane work. I’ve always wanted to do a paisley but didn’t know where to start… problem solved – thanks to you Cindy :) ~Tantesherry
- Absolutely gorgeous and great background to the design. ~Angela-K
- What you guys are doing and how your tutorials, website, and videos have evolved is absolutely terrific. I recently watched some of the first videos and the difference in your skills, Cindy (and therefore mine, from what my friends and family tell me) is amazing, as is the difference in Doug’s skills with videotaping and the website. I love how it “feels” as though we’re right there with you – sitting next to you in your studio. You all make it something to look forward to, not just to learn new techniques, but also because you’re not afraid to let us see a mistake you may have made, and you let us laugh along with you and share family stories. I may not post on the blog often, or even have the time to keep up with all the postings, but rest assured checking in on a Friday (or Saturday morning with my first cup of coffee) is usually the highlight of my week! Thanks so much for all that you guys do for us. ~Tanya-L
- Thrilled to get another cane tutorial to make since they are my bane but I just keep on trying. This one is absolutely beautiful and I love the way Cindy showed the different color combo’s and the different looks that result from them. The fact that she makes mistakes so we don’t have to is “Reality Art”! I never would have known if she had not gone back and explained the difference of forgetting a specific cane wrap. Gleaning art from other cultures and combining it with PC makes her a leader in teaching these wonderful video’s that opens up so many more possibilities we never thought of. Thank you Cindy, you just keep making it better… and better… and better. ~DixieAnn-S
- It’s TRUE! Cindy, you make mistakes so we don’t have to… but I’m glad to see you make them nevertheless. I’m always so conscious when I work the clay, even though I work alone, of what I might be doing wrong. Like grabbing this wrong, dropping beads, having to re-string things because I miscalculated, etc.. It’s nice to see you do those on camera. (Isn’t this compliment a little backward?!) Anyway, it makes me feel a little bit better that I’m so far from the perfect little artiste I want to be. So thank you. Thank you for this tutorial because it helped me to assert my instincts when I work with the clay. I had seen a tutorial on reducing canes and it said to grab it by the middle and really squeeze it. She called the technique (I’m not kidding!) ‘choke the chicken’. Well, when I tried it it just DID NOT feel right. And I kind of ended up doing it like you did here. I’m so glad you explained it so well. I was going to buy one of your earlier tutorials on this because I was just very hesitant that I was doing it right. Now you gave me enough to go on til I get to that. Thanks for everything and will report back! Love to ALL! ~Andrea-P
- Paisley is a favorite in form. I always buy paisley stuff. This tute is so much fun! Imagination is running wild. So many color choices. Your boo-boo is not a big thing. Just reverse the extruded colors. Even makes more choices – teehee. I can see many colors and patterns coming. Thanks for all the in depth info about the shape. It is so interesting to see what other cultures adore. I really do love the new format. Seeing the whole picture – then making it. So easy to follow and understand. This idea is brilliant… Now I have to go make it… see ya. ~Patt-W
- Paisley is one of my favorite patterns. It’s used a lot in India and besides Mehendi, used in jariwork (metal thread embroidery) on borders of sarees, salwars etc. FYI, henna is very good for the hair too! ~Cherie-H
- Vintage European design? I say yes! Very excited to learn this technique! ~Maria-C
- I’ve often wondered if you’re psychic Cindy, now I have the proof! I’ve been thinking for some time that Zentangle might lend itself to polymer clay and was on the point of writing to ask you – and here it is! I’m so thrilled. ~Marion-R
- Cindy you are soooo great :) I like to make all kinds of jewelry… but I haven’t tried polymer clay yet. So I was going tru different tutorials before I go and buy everything… And you are…like an angel :) This week I saw bunch of tutorials and some were really great, but yours… everything is so simply explained, everything is so understandable. Like “Polymer Clay for Dummies” :) So, I just wanted to say THANK YOU, your videos will surely help me a lot. And sorry for my English, I hope you understood everything :) ~Sara-G
- I wanted to thank you for taking care of my log in issue so quickly. I really enjoy your videos. Your explanations are clear and concise and the projects are fun and interesting. I really like the change that you made a few months ago on the videos all at the beginning of the month. It’s nice to watch them all at one time so that I can get the entire project concept and then go back over the techniques that I want to focus on. Many thanks. ~Jean-G
- I’m loving this new format of videos. ~Kerri-C
- Caning and extruder designs are among my faves, Cindy… can’t wait to see all the great tips you add to augment my basic skills! ~Monique-U
- Perfect paisley presents for my three pretty sisters. They all love the paisley pattern so a big thank you CINDY now I have the perfect gifts to make them for Christmas… cheers xx. ~Elaine-F
- This is a great cane! Very inspiring. Thank you. ~Jodie-H
- Love paisley. Finished the cane and I love it!!!! I cannot get over how many tips and techniques are in this series of videos. Well done, Cindy! ~Jocelyn-C
- Thank you so much for the great tutorial videos. I must say I am addicted to them!! ~Terri-B
- Hi All – wanted to say 1st thank you Cindy for such a well thought out cane – what you did with the burnt umber… totally smart. I wanted to do something I’d not tried before – something from my back log of older videos and the Tribal Cane hit the spot. Had a real nice afternoon :) Thanks again. ~Tantesherry
- I made two necklaces and two bracelets from your red/white checkered paisley cane putting the thin slices on large white base beads and red base beads, leaving the funky gaps for a different effect. I have been doodling other paisley patterns and trying to figure out the best CINDY method to complete them. I think the new Concord grape palette would look so cool transferred to a paisley pattern. Now where did I put my coloured pencils? ~Elaine-F
- Hi Cindy, I am really enjoying your website… I made the paisley cane the other day (one of my first canes), and it looked GREAT :) Thanks! ~Laura-L
- Cindy, I really enjoy your videos as well. I have learnt so much. ~Barbara-C
- I purchased membership in October, but I didn’t really know what I got into. Tonight I finally figured out how to get around on your site and watched lessons 53 & 54. I was so impressed that I just had to buy the the whole series, right back to Vol 1. Thank you. There is a lot of knowledge in your video lessons and I now appreciate this. ~Bonnie-S
- I have to say I am really impressed with your customer service as well as your method of teaching. As a teacher myself I can admire the work you put into making the videos and how clearly you explain everything, as well as your reasons for doing what you do. I’m just loving being a member and glad I stumbled across the website. ~Debs-A
- Hi, I’m from Norway and am new to clay-working… this was my first cane it worked out perfectly! Thanks – its so much fun! ~Marthe-L
- Hi Cindy, I really enjoyed the paisley cane, very well presented and I followed it all the way through, nice job as usual, I kinda liked the red one too, Oh, tell me, I couldn’t find the place to hit “Like” maybe that’s not on all of them, but I did and would like to say so! Thanks again. ~Joy-D
Customer Reviews: Oregon Shipwreck A-Series Palette (4 Recipe Cards):
- An awesome photo, Doug. It reminds me of a vacation along the rugged coast of Maine and two shipwrecks we explored at that time many years ago. The colors did not compare to what you have captured here. Would love to be able to step inside this photo. Cindy, you continue to capture the colors so beautifully. Looking forward to what your creative artistic mind will bring forward and share with us. ~Joyce-F
- “Pull me heartie,” was that the captains cry, as the seas roared and the winds moaned. Alas nobody could alter the fate of THE PETER IREDALE. So here she be and here she will stay. A man-made vessel that has become a spectacular part of the landscape, a part of nature. Home to many sea creatures, along with the ebbing tide and shifting sands. No wonder it stirred your artistic heart CINDY, I could almost feel the rivets as you touched them. The names chosen for this salty colour palette stirr the soul. Can’t wait to see what rusty riveted barnacled masterpiece you will create. Just wish I could have been sitting on that beach with my sketchbook to capture this stark image, but who knows… one day… cheers xx. ~Elaine-F
- I loved the video with the history. Very nice color palette it reminds me of fall! ~Jeanne-C
- Not only a beautiful palette, but your story too. You see things with the eyes of adventurer! Your whole family seem mesmerized. What a place to share. Your description of the ship and the colors of the hull were so vivid – I felt as if I were there… Love this. ~Patt-W
- Love the colors and the video. Great info. ~Pollyanna
- I love it when you interject a video so that we can actually see what you are telling us about. The color palette is so artistically wonderful but the history lesson that goes with it just seems to bring it all together. Cindy and Doug you have such a way of wetting our appetite for the next project! ~DixieAnn-S
- You show us how to look at a thing with fresh perspective. Thanks Cindy. Some of those colours and shapes were inspiring and opened up lots of possibilities in my mind. Fantastic stuff! Keep it up! ~Marion-R
