Thank you for your wonderful comments. It was a pleasure to present Idit Zoota's wonderful idea and Yonat's great demonstration. I enjoy producing polymer clay videos and tutorials and am happy to share this with cane makers.

I wish I could take credit! Idit Zoota is the genius and she graciously shared the idea with Yonat and together, we shared it with the world.

I am thrilled that you have discovered this new technique and been kind enough to share it with the polymer clay crafting world! This saves so much valuable clay. As expensive as high quality polymer clay is, I am surprised no one else has discovered this- so kudos to you,. I look forward to trying this and I will post back how I do- and I am going to join PolyClayPlay. Thanks so much.

We are so glad this helps! Be sure to take a look at Yonat's other wonderful tutorials!

@Meiyumii Oh good! I am glad you liked the video. I agree that Idit had a great idea and Yonat did the wonderful video showing it. Be sure to check the link to Poly Clay Play to see more of Yonat's cane tutorials. She creates beautiful canes. I am so happy to work with her. We are working on a major cane project that will be coming in the near future. I think anyone interested in making canes will benefit greatly.

This is amazing! I tried it and it works great. Thanks Zoota and Trish for sharing this technique.

I used your method a few times already, mainly for flower canes, and I think it's excellent. Thanks a lot for posting it .. and coming up with it in the first place of course!

We are glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the note. I look forward to hearing how it works for you.

Yes, that technique of baking and then peeling is shown in the tutorial by Yonat found at web site. Thanks for sharing your fun!!

I am glad you have enjoyed this method. I would like to take credit for the idea but that goes to Idit Zoota. Yonat and I area happy to make it available. Be sure to take a look at part 2 at Poly Clay Play. The link is listed on the video.

Thanks. We are glad you enjoyed it. Yonat has some wonderful tutorials at the found on the video. If you have any questions, please be sure to ask.

I have been looking all over for a video showing this!!! Thank you very much!!!

Just saw this video mentioned in a blog. Thanks for sharing this wonderful technique.

This is so ingenious! Thank you so much for posting this. It will help me allot when I start making odd shaped canes ^-^!

It is always a good idea to let your cane rest for an hour or two or some leave them alone overnight or even for a couple of weeks. The cane then becomes the same temperature all the way through. Always use a sharp clay blade. Don't remove the background until you have sliced. You can make a trough of clay to set the cane in. Then slice through all of the clay, including the trough, remove the trough and in this case the play-dough. I hope that all made sense!!

Brilliant! And so simple. Thanks for being so generous and sharing. I'm afraid I would have kept it to my selfish little self.

What can I say?? You're a genius! THANK YOU for sharing!!!

I wondered how that was done. That is awesome!

@rkh1942 I have to give credit to Yonat for her great demonstration!! I am so glad it worked for you!!

Simply wanted to say thanks for the cool video. I really enjoyed it and will be looking for more videos from you :)

Hi Karen, We are glad you like this technique. Go to the web address you see on the video and you can download the PDF instructions. At the end of the instructions, there is a recipe for clay that you can use instead of PlayDoh if you like.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the 5*!

@lizziesmama You are Very Welcome!

this is amazing!!! i will share this with my clay teacher!!

Brilliant! Thanks so much!

You are very welcome! I would love to see what canes everyone comes up with after using this technique! I am going to be posting a new video tutorial from Yonat at Poly Clay Play in the next day or so using this technique. Check for it in the Artists Corner

Fimo would be the clay you would use to make the cane such as the rose in the video. Then you would wrap your cane with Play Doh or other water soluble clay.

Brilliant idea! Congrats for such brilliant problem solving skills! You have my attention!

+Ginmars1 That would be true if she was the first to discover this technique which she is not

which she says at the end. when she thanks someone else for the technique. however it's nice to see it done, just with less of a long intro and using proper cutting safety techniques.

We are happy to share!

Brilliant! Thank you !

Hmmm Okay, I will have to check on that. I am guessing yes, you mix it together and that's it. If I find out different, I will let you know.

THATS IS SOOO AWESOME!!

This is awesome!!! Thanks so much!!!

We are glad you enjoyed the video. WARNING: Polymer Clay Playing can be addictive!

GREAT idea. Thank-You so much for sharing. You are wonderful. : )

You are very welcome!! Please take a look at our other tutorials at Poly Clay Play. There are free ones as well as fun ones to purchase and there are classes too!

It is always nice to hear that this technique is useful to others! Send pictures of what you make with this technique! We would love to see them. You can find my email address on the web site listed on the video.

You are very welcome! Check the address mentioned on the video. You can find more free stuff. Check out the Artists Corner for projects that are not free but reasonable and don't miss the classes in the Adventures at Poly Clay Play! I will be posting a project shortly using this Play Doh Technique. It is a fun one!

I can't answer for sure but I would think you could test your clay and see if it disintegrates in water. Then, I would test the technique on some scrap clay... Use a piece of scrap clay in the center and then surround it with your mixture and follow the tutorial. I would love to hear if your recipe does work.

@petmagnetetal I hope your teacher and her classes enjoy the technique!

Playdoh is the part that goes around the polymer clay. Polymer Clay is what will cure in the oven and the play doh washes away leaving the shape such as the rose. Then you slice the rose cane and you end up with slices that all look alike.

how did you make that rose?

I found the recipe for water soluble clay but how do you put it together. Is there a method or just mix everything together? Thank you for your geneous information.

where do i get that kind of clay? how dose a packge looks like?

Can i pack the cane with air dry clay instead of playdough

very nice !!!!

what is packing clay out of? is it normal polymer clay like fimo or sculpey

how do you slice it so the image does not squish together?

@PolyClayPlay Awesome! I can't wait to see how everything turns out ^^ I did check out the website. it's very nice and you guys have some great prices on supplies! I've totally bookmarked it xD

@MSFladoodle Sorry I didn't see your question sooner. Water soluble clay would be something like Play Doh. To answer your next question... the packing clay that is added after the water soluble clay would be your scrap clay or whatever you wanted to use so that you can then reduce the cane. I hope that helps. Be sure to visit Poly Clay Play to see the second video. The link is listed with the video.

But how did you do this rose cane? That's what I'd like to know. 2:26

can i use playdoh?

Hi, i wanted to know if this would work with a clay that i made out of: 1 cup of flower, 1 cup of water, 1 tsp of cooking oil, 1 cup of corn starch and 1/2 cup of salt. I wanted to know if it would be water soluable so that i won't ruin any of my clay canes. Please respond asap :)

5*,,,thanks

bonsoir , comme c 'est ingenieux!! et tellement interressant car je recherchais cette methode etant nouvelle dans la fimo, merci donc a vous 2, j ai compris le procedé mais ne parlant pas anglais ,je n ai pas pu reconnaitre le nom des 2 produits que vous appliquez autour de la cane rose, pouver vous m aider afin que je puisse me les procurer, merci pour cela et surtout pour faire partager vos tutos, c 'est genial!! a bientot, fabie

Wayyyy cool!!!

what does lining the cane with a thin sheet of water soluble clay mean??

Genius!!

I'm sorry your recipe didn't work out. If you want to try again, on the site with the second part of this video, you will find a PDF to download that has a recipe you might want to try. The address to the second part and the PDF is at the end of the video.

That was very clever...!!!! Thank you....! off to my flower----->>>

Go to the Flickr site!!!! The pieces on there will blow your mind!! Very talented!!! Well worth opening a new tab!!! :)

Love the tutorial and thanks! Though you might reconsider showing someone using a blade and cutting toward their own thumb before some moron cuts himself and sues you.

agreed!!!

You can do a search for Play-Doh or take a look at the recipe included with the free PDF from the web site... polyclayplay . com. It is available in the Freebie Section.

Bake as you normally would following your polymer clay package instructions in your home oven. If you need more details, go to the web address on the video and contact me. I am happy to answer. You can also find the complete instructions there to download and print.

Cool-hi

so i tried it and well to put it lightly it was a clay mess lol but i still like the clay that i made and ill just use it for something else :) ill just have to go and buy some play doh its too bad that i threw it out.

Useful video demonstrating technique! However, what would be very helpful is making this into a true video and verbally describing steps - instead of having a PowerPoint presentation with slides packed with content and video on a side. And the viewer must keep reading instead of watching the technique. Very distracting. Great work on the technique though!!!

Play-doh?
