That's incredibly kind. Thank you so much - caning can be such a tricky concept to try and put into words sometimes!!

@@MidnightButterflyDesigns Aww. thank you for replying. I spent TWO days on that bottom wing. I finally gave up & decided my butterfly would be happy to wear a leaf for a wing. It looks like a leaf. Upsetting. Tje top wing looks ok. How on earth were you able to cut the curvy lines with an Exacto knife? Pure 100% MAGIC. Thank you again for sharing such a great tutorial,...you did a wonderful job. I know it's time consuming & a lot of work. Cheers. I adore your accent.

@@ameswho9548 I'm sure it came out great! Sometimes, if you don't have a big bendy blade, if you cut a straight line and the shape the clay gently on both sides (so it matches when you put it back together) you can get a similar effect. 💙

What an awesome video, i can't wait to try this.

Thank you! I hope you have fun!!

This is a fabulous video but I would love to have seen how you extrude it out at the end to make it the size that you need.

This is a great tutorial! You're so pleasant to listen to

Honestly, the best Monarch Butterfly tutorial I've seen! Thank you so much for this! Could you maybe also teach us how to reduce these butterfly wings? They're quite an unusual shape to reduce. x

Thank you much, the butterfly is beautiful. I’ve made long skinner blends so I’m confused as to how to run this one thru the pasta machine. It would be nice to actually see you running thru the machine. The visual running thru the machine would be very helpful. Are you always folding the skinner blends with same colors touching and always putting it into the pasta machine fold facing down?

@MidnightButterflyDesigns

3 жыл бұрын

With Skinner blends you must always fold the same way and always put in the pasta machine fold first. If you turn the clay and fold, you'll end up just mixing ALL the colours together. Hope that helps!

The black i have dyes my hand and transfer on to other colors which black should I use

I would use a baby wipe or (more sustainable option) a cloth with some baby oil on to remove the residue between dark and light colours. I do this, it's just I don't show it on the tutorials :)

What kind of varnish u use? Is water based polyurethane varnish good for air dry polymer clay?

@MidnightButterflyDesigns

3 жыл бұрын

I'll be honest - I don't tend to varnish mine, but when I do I use a water based polyurethane. Oil based varnishes will react with polymer clay so just be aware that any varnish needs to be water based. Also, pro tip, apply a couple of very thin layers. This will minimise bubbles 💙

Realistic butterfly.🙂

How do you reduce the shape to make it small? just keep pinching?

@MidnightButterflyDesigns

Essentially yes! Have a look for "reducing polymer clay canes" on KZread - it takes a little work but it's worth it 😊 good luck!!

Dang it, I've been trying to see how to reduce a cane with an odd shape, all I've found are round ones
