Polymer Clay on Sierra

[PhillH]

Well having been inspired by Vics polymer clay pen the other day I thought

So, off to Hobbycraft and a few quid lighter we have some polymer clay and no idea

Lot's of Youtube later and the first flower cane is made. Applied to a Sierra tube and baked.

Small amount of turning, turns like butter, a CA finish and

Voila !

Appropriated the one someone bought for a wedding present and we never used

Thanks all for the nice comments, it's good fun for sure, will be doing some more of these.

Great pen, but where do you get this stuff from and what's needed to make these pens?

 

[PhillH]

Hobbycraft sell it, or search for polymer clay there's a load of online shops do it.

Ceramic tile to work on (or glass), sharp scalpel type modelling knife, pasta machine is ideal but a rolling pin (ceramic) will do, your oven and that's it.

Apart from a bit of patience.

I can see everyone having a go at this now lol,I am going to have a look at it!

 

[rayf6604]

Would I be right in thinking, having seen the packs of clay on the Hobbycraft website, that you have to roll out the colours you want to use then cut out the shapes you want and meld them together sort of? It's got to be quite thick I presume to be enough to turn down to the thickness required for the pen? And do you wrap the clay around the brass tube before it's baked in the oven? And what sort of time and what temperature does it need to be baked for and at?
Sorry for all the questions I just trying to get my head around this.

Ray have a look on youtube about making millifiori canes it would take longer to explain than for you to watch then you can decide to make your own canes or buy them.

I've had a look on YouTube and I think I get it now. Looks interesting and fun. I think the wife would enjoy making the canes for me to turn

Very nice Phill
It certainly looks like this polymer clay is going to take off
