Vol-063-1: Video #416: Introduction: In this 6 part video tutorial series, you will learn techniques and tricks for creating unique and stunning color changing cone flower canes. Use them in jewelry making projects like beads, charms, decorative headpins, earrings, bracelets, pendants, pins, brooches and more. These beautiful polymer clay flowers can also be used in a variety of mixed media art projects including, buttons, bookmarks, scrapbooking, art journals and other great looking polymer clay projects.
Vol-063-2: Video #417: Creating The Teardrop Blends: In this video you will learn the tips and tricks for making custom color teardrop blends that will make your cone flower canes gorgeous and arty looking. The neat thing about my secret blend is that it is super easy and it will have you looking like a pro, the first time you try it! This custom blend will be used for both canes (the seed head and the petals) that are used in this tutorial.
Vol-063-3: Video #418: Sead Head Cane: In this video you will take a section of the teardrop blend which you created in the last video and build a cane that resembles the cone or seed head of the cone flower. You’ll love how the colors are laid out to create the shading in the cone, making it dimensional and realistic looking.
Vol-063-4: Video #419: Petal Cane: In this video you will take the remaining sections of your custom teardrop blend and build them into a color shifting petal cane. What’s is great about the way this cane is made, is that each slice that you cut from the cane will be a slightly different color. This means that you can build several different cone flowers in all the colors from a bright sunny yellow, to a deep dark purple… just like real cone flowers!
Vol-063-5: Video #420: Making the Cone Flowers: In this video, everything you have learned so far, starts coming together into beautiful polymer clay cone flowers. I will also show you how to securely embed a wire to create an awesome decorative headpin that you can use as a headpin… or you could shape the wire into a bale so your flower could be used a charm or other types of jewelry items.
Vol-063-6: Video #421: Finishing: In this final video of the Cone Flower Canes series, you will learn how to give your polymer clay flowers a flawless and satiny smooth finish that will take your piece from Nice to Wow! Plus I will share with you a ton of other creative options so can use this tutorial for all kinds of different mixed media projects.

1-A: French Lilac 2-A: Pink Sedum 3-A: Raspberry Tea 4-A: Vintage Coke Bottle . . . . |
French Lilac is the dark, dusty lilac color, found amongst the petals of this lovely Sedum Flower. Pink Sedum is the hot, hot, hot pink dancing around in the blossom, showing off its electric personality. Raspberry Tea is the deep red of the petals when they are still tightly pulled together… before they open up… and brighten up. And Vintage Coke Bottle is the soft, powdery green of the stems and of an empty bottle of Coke after a hot Summer’s day, working in the garden… if it was still the 50′s that is.

Customer Reviews: Cone Flower Canes (6 Videos):
- These look so funky and fun, I love all the colors and how they blend from one to the next. You must stay up 24/7 just creating polymer clay pieces. Where in the world do? you store it all, lol. I think we need a video on how to organize and store your creations once they’re done. My stuff is scattered all over the house. :o) ~Michelle-A
- Cindy, As a long time member, I just love you and more than happy to spread the word about your website. Sometimes I actually get into conversations with folks at Michaels around the Premo clay and tell them about your website. I always let everyone know that you are my polymer clay hero!!! lol — This is going to be fun as all of Cindy’s tutorials are, not to mention amazing. If you ever want to learn anything and everything about polymer clay, please join Cindy. ~Trish-Z
- Yet another gorgeous tutorial Cindy! For anyone wondering whether to subscribe, this is brilliant! …… so much information, handy tips and beautiful projects. Join, and you’ll never look back!!!! ~Lesley-S
- This is a fabu project, love the interpretation and options on this beloved flower. Love the way the finials are finished, back and front, they glow. ~Jocelyn-C
- Love the subtle shift in colors, and so many ways to use these amazing Cone flowers thanks Cindy. ~Elaine-F
- What a great cane with multiple possibilities, Cindy… I bet your graphic buttons would be the perfect accent on a bold handmade purse or tote! ~Monique-U
- I look so forward to the 1st Friday of the month. Great tuts worth every penny! ~Ella-M
- Your tutes are worth every penny, I have learned so much from them, thank you. There isn’t anyone teaching the way you do and for so little a month. ~Rosy-S
- What a funky little tutorial. The button and hairpin really got my attention. The cane looks very detailed and I really like the way the colors change. So many possibilities with this one! ~DixieAnn-S
- The colour shifting idea is definitely very cool, and that’s a beautiful colour combination to demonstrate it with. Lovely finish on the sample pieces too! There are countless ways these ideas could be applied to other projects for non-flower people like me too :D and I’m looking forward to trying some of them out. ~Sue-F
- I’ve just watched this series, and the beads are so lovely. Thanks heaps Cindy and Doug for another awesome tutorial. ~Sandra-J
- I love the tutorials. I’ve been in a guild now for a year with some very talented people but you have shown me things that they have never covered at any of the meetings and I’ve only been a member a short amt of time. Thank you so much. I love the fact that you assume we know nothing and explain everything to the Nth degree and there is no problems with learning your techniques. ~Nancy-W
- Cindy, by now, have watched the series in full 3x, and am thrilled. Even though the sand and buff process is “like watching paint dry” in a comment you made, if you made the effort to follow all the instructions to get to finishing, that is the most crucial stage to master so that in addition to loving what you make, you can sell it to others to recoup your investment in time and product, and from the profit, get more good clay and the rest of the goodies to play with. The first time for me hearing “3 mins” minimum at each sanding level, front and back, and that was seminal, lol. Up until that point to me sanding was a mystery sort of, and mimicked how I felt about how long and how much I brushed my teeth. Was it right? Enough? More flossing? Using a finish, being Renaissance Wax or butcher block paste, and buffing etc, makes the object art. Watching you do it in real time helps me improve my own techniques, which I am so grateful to you for. ~Jocelyn-C
- Hi Cindy – thanks for this tutorial series, I really enjoyed watching it. You’ve also cracked a problem for me; I’ve been trying to work out how a cane was produced in a Polymer Cafe article. When the author wrote back that she couldn’t remember how it had been done it set me puzzling, but in vain. Your tutorial suddenly had me saying out loud, “Ahaaa!” So I am doubly grateful to you Cindy, for a really great tutorial series with lots of amazing tips and tricks which has also provided the answer to my problem! ~Marion-R
- Hi – Cindy As a Grandma, I immediately saw a lot of little fairies or ballerinas dressed in your flowers dancing on a bracelet. Beautiful tutorial. If I haven’t said it recently… Thank you for all the hard work and attention you shower on your students. ~Cheyrl-B
- Cindy I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your efforts. Sometimes I feel like an ungrateful child always demanding more, more , more! I loved this series and you have once again inspired me to get back to work. It is raining here so I have no outside work to be done today so I will be making cone flowers. Thank you so much. ~Karonkay-C
- Just started about 6 months ago with polymer clay. I fell in love immediately. I have watched many of Cindy’s videos on u-tube and by far enjoy her style the best. Just signed up for a paid membership today. This is stress therapy for me and it works! ~Judy-C
- Cindy, YOU ARE THE BEST! ~Christl-P
- Yep – Cindy, you rock!! ~Janet-M
- I used the tumbler for my beads and then renaissance wax and I have beads now that feel like butter and have a nice sheen. Thanks for your help Cindy, my round beads are so soft and pretty. ~Cindy-P
- Cindy, I think your subscription videos and past-purchasing of videos is very reasonably priced. There is 1 PC “tutor” who charges much, much, much more and I had bought from her in the past. I am not knocking her at all, I do love her work and originality, but even without access to all past videos you are still a great bargain and the BEST teacher. I will be with you forever, God willing. You AND Doug are the best (along with the kids, too!)!!! ~Becky-C
- I’m always telling my friend how wonderful your videos are and can’t wait for the next one. Love them!!!! There is only one problem. There’s not enough hours in the day. ~Terri-B
- Great tutorial as usual Cindy I only discovered PCT last January and have learned so much all easy to follow , I love the headpin idea and already have so many possibilities in mind for decorative headpins, something I often struggled with before to finish my jewellery pieces. Thanks again. ~Kay-B
- Hi Cindy, I just want to say that you are a very talented teacher and I enjoy a lot your tutorials. ~Debbie-K
Customer Reviews: Pink Sedum A-Series Color Palette (4 Recipe Cards):
- Love this months palette Cindy – I’ve been making kaleidoscope canes these past few weeks and turning them into barrettes using your nail head technique …. so that’s what I saw in my head when I clicked ‘read more’ … where you saw these colors in a complex k-cane too. Your teaching skills work so well, I see and apply them sometimes w/o even knowing it :) ~Tantesherry
- I really love the pink Sedum palette, so thanks Cindy for all your mixing skills. Looking forward to using these lovely colours… cheers. ~Elaine-F
- Love this palette; it’s gorgeous. So vibrant, jewel colors! I have some photos of flowers from when I went home to India; I will post them on the FB page. Cindy, I’m sure you would be able to come up with some pretty palettes. ~Cherie-H
- Cindy, I love this new color palette. It’s perfect for summer. ~DixieAnn-S
