- Can I make it up as I go along? Can you? Of course! We all can and have fun as we do. This is the Ad Hoc cane, and I had no idea at the start how it was going to turn out. All you have to do is sit back, relax, and watch as I show and talk you through the process. Then create some lovely pieces of your own.
Let me know any designs you’d like me to have a go at, and I’ll see what I can do, just add a comment below.

Polymer Clay is oven baked, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the brand of clay you are using. The amounts and colours of clay I use are listed within the video itself, I used FIMO Soft, but all recognised brands of polymer clay will work well for this project.
I used a Pasta Machine dedicated to Polymer Clay use to create blends/thin sheets and condition the clay. My Pasta Machine is an Atlas 180, and it has setting 0 as its thickest and 9 as its thinnest. There is a standard way of calculating the thickness of clay required, by using stacked playing cards. On my machine the thickness are as follows: Setting 0 = 8 playing cards, setting 1 = 7, setting 2 = 6, setting 3 = 5, setting 4 = 4, setting 5 = 3, setting 6 and 7 = 2, setting 8 and 9 = 1 card.
I hope you enjoyed the video, and have fun with these techniques. Thank you so much for watching, and a special thank you to those of you who subscribe, I really appreciate it.
Yes, I really enjoyed the unstructured, unplanned, fly by the seat of your pants video. I vote for more!!😂
Fantastic, thanks so much 🙂
@@FionaAbelSmithPolyOriginals Thank you😁
Love them all but this was extra fun please do more free flow like this in the future!!!
Great, will do 🙂
I would LOVE to see more ad hoc videos. This is a great way for us to learn.
Okay, good to know, thank you 🙂
That was lots of fun to watch and I loved how it turned out. More more please. 😊❤
Okay, will do, thanks so much 🙂
This was fun! It's fun to not always know what the outcome will be when creating. You aren't the only one that has a problem trying to arrange things in a random way!
Thanks so much, and I'm glad it's not just me with the random thing - why is it soooo hard to do 😉😂🙂
Thank you for sharing your creative gifts. I have turned to your videos often for inspiration but this particular video is so refreshing and simple and realistic. It’s easy to become overwhelmed and frustrated when trying to follow a more tenured artist in the various videos out there but this approach here is much more realistic. Very much appreciated!
I'm so glad you liked it, thank you 🙂
Ad-hoc is my middle name. Loved this!
Wonderful, thanks so much 🙂
LOVE everything you do Fiona! Just really enjoy watching you work.
awww, thank you so muchJennifer 🙂
I have known how your mind works since I watched your first video. Your mind works beautifully!
That's very kind of you, thank you 🙂
Polymer clay is like a box of chocolates(as Forest Gump would say) .You never know what you're going to get! Loved it!
Wonderful, thank you so much 🙂
I agree, that was fun, and it makes the process less daunting for beginners.
Wonderful, thanks so much 🙂
Yes it's a great format, a surprise how things turn out. 💗
Wonderful, thank you so much 🙂
I love everything you do! It's always amazing with the final product. ❤😊
awww, thank you so much Kara 🙂
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! I, for one, would like to see more videos like this! You are awesome! Thanks for sharing your genius with us.
Great, thanks so much Carol, I will do more for people then 🙂

I would definitely love to see more videos like this, maybe a leaf cane??
Oh, I forgot to mention,I would love to see a sunflower?? what do you think of that??
Thanks so much, and that is so odd, because the three things I had thought of to do next were a leaf, a petal and then possibly a sunflower !🙂
Nice Sharing
Thanks so much 🙂
Muchas gracias, estoy aprendiendo muchísimo y muy bien con sus clases. Un afectuoso saludo❤
Muchas gracias 🙂
Love it ❤
Thanks so much 🙂
Wonderful video as always! What projects can you do with the veneers other than bowls? I'd love to see a video with that.
Thanks so much, a couple of videos ago I used one as a wall plaque/art piece. You can also use them to cover journals with, I made some homemade notebooks with some, again a few videos ago, so whatever you want really. And of course you can cut into them to make any amounts of jewellery, or use them to cover cutlery handles, crochet hooks, the list is endless. I hope that helps ? I only did this one as a veneer so people could see how the whole pattern came out 🙂
Thank you!
Sangat kreatif bgt
terima kasih banyak 🙂
Unfortunately the thumbnail is very reminiscent of the fake crafting videos that content farms pump out. I almost didn't watch but am glad I did because I enjoy watching you come up with a cane as you go along without having it all figured out first.
Thanks for the feedback, it is so difficult to know what to add into the thumbnail, and my videos are getting so few views I was thinking of having to stop, as it's not financially worth doing them. This was an attempt to get people who don't yet know/follow me to try a view and see what I can do. I have a slightly better one planned for next time, fingers crossed, but I need to figure out how to reach a bigger audience, and the thumbnail attracts/or repels and is so important in getting your video seen. I am very open to any useful suggestions. I am so glad you did watch, and liked it, so thank you 😉🙃🙂
