Flower Fimo cane

Heart of the Fimo Flower Cane

• Sculpt the initial heart – With the bundle the wanted canes & slightly tinted transparent ones (1).

• Surround it with bands of very bright & pearly white followed by bands of orange.

• Make slight lesions with the razorblade (wrapped in baking paper) all around the cane (2).

Petals of the Fimo Flower Cane

• Make two rolled up layered tones with the darker ones in the center (3).

• Cut them along their length into four and put one aside (4).

• Nestle them in together and cut the quarter put aside into two (5).

• Place the two pieces on each end to balance the design.  

• Sculpt some sausage shapes in the same color as the design, 3 light and 4 dark.
• Add the dark ones on one side of the design and the light ones to the other.

• Compact it into a rectangular bloc and roll a thin sheet of fuchsia clay around it.

NB : Leave a slight gap in order to mark out a slighter notch at the extremity of the petal.

• Reduce the cane (6).

• Stretch it to give it the shape of a petal (7).

• Cut as many petals as possible and ring them around the heart.  

• Sculpt the tip of each petal slightly as a point.

• Wedge some transparent triangles between each petal on the exterior (so that they can detach themselves but keep their form). 

• Position them around the heart.  

• Add a small transparent band around the ensemble (8).

• Reduce it (9).

• Stretch the cane without deforming it by first pressing down on the middle and then, as regularly as possible, pressing down gradually towards the exteriors (10).

• Place it in a cool place before using it.
