Dahlia flower cane polymer clay tutorial

This time we'll make a Dahlia flower cake A subscriber requested a dahlia flower so I looked up many images through Google But the flowers were really diverse in color and type I found an image that I could relatively easily express as Cain I'm not really a big fan of Cain I'm not really satisfied with the finished product This is just a single coat of UV resin to bring out the shine We should upload it since we did the work Should I just title it "Flower Kane" or go with "Dahlia Flower" I'm still unsure but I'll start anyway It's clay selected by the Pimo Machine number 7 That's the gradient preparation And the other one is an effect color I just needed a dark red That's recycled You can just make it a dark red And we did the Indian Red in two shades and the white color Well the size and shape are a bit different but it's just cut straight diagonally A square-shaped one and this one is about 2 cm longer on top The white color is attached and comes up Please look at this carefully I will start with the gradient work Please slightly overlap the colors and merge them into one We blend the white color slightly to prevent it from looking too flat I will do a gradient effect on the 3rd Pimo Machine Please repeat until the gradient is complete The gradient has been completed although it won't be noticeable in the video because it's the same color tone Then I'll have to do the other one as well This is when you fold it in half and do the same It is repeated until the colors are fully mixed The gradient is roughly completed Fold this in half then in half again and once more in half I'm going to pull it long on the Fimo machine number 3 it's thick Press the sides to make it thinner similar in size to the thickness of a regular 3rd size foam machine Then insert it into the third and pull it out lengthwise And the other color we made earlier is also three times Fold it the same way three times and reduce the thickness accordingly I'll put them both in slot 3 and pull them out long Then the long gradient created two of them We will fold this into a square with the same width Fold the other one the same way When folded and combined the gradient becomes more visible This is to make it a square when rotated like this I'll carefully combine the shapes and press the surface firmly to tidy it up They have to be slightly different in size The height is the same but we added more white color Quiet Then you can see the direction of the gradient Lighten and lighten then cut diagonally This is also similar with the dark color going up on the X Bright colors don't get confused below So if we take these one by one the height of the triangle is really low right now Make this pointy pointy like this All of them This is just roughly made in the same shape There's no need for details Just make it like this with a pointed top shape And then one important thing is that we did the gradient work The dark color should be on top and the light color should go down Take this and check the direction of the gradient The light colors are all at the bottom This is how the overlapping works Again a dark color and then a light color again a dark color again a light color again The dark color is back the light color is here As you can see the light color is all the way down Combine these into one properly I'll stretch it a little longer I'll lay down a base layer in white color The thinnest one from the trimmer 1 this is the white color selected with trimmer 1 I'll wrap the clay around the edge once We will now make this square into a circle and expand it We're going to extend it but here's a point: this side is light color and that side is dark color right I'll stretch it out long like a funnel towards the dark color Dahlia flowers have a lot of petals I counted roughly and there were more than 30 So please make the petals as long as possible I worked on something of this length Actually this also seems short but I want to make it longer but the desk is too narrow We stretched it to about 60 cm from its original length of over 50 cm It gradually becomes thinner I'll roughly cut this into five parts It's okay to just cut it Now the focus isn't good at 1cm You can cut them into 10 pieces each even if it's not exactly 10 Just make them look about the same You need to separate the steps in the gradient That's why I've cut it into steps now It's hard to see isn't it This bright color will go out so we'll start working on it now The dahlia flower has pointed petals So I'll shape it in this way beforehand We need to combine them this way Cut the rest the same way in order I will work in order and not forget the sequence of the gradient Now since showing this in slow motion would be boring I'll play it a bit faster It's about done now I think it will be okay if I just fill in the background Fill the background and this is not completely circular right now Dahlia flowers are usually almost circular So I'll fill it evenly without making it round and then stretch it to make it round We will fill in the background They filled it up carelessly so everyone will take advantage of it They're still open aren't they So that all the gaps fit together This is the correct fit but the space that has fallen off is too large Now if I cut it as I did a moment ago Spread them out to fill the empty space Like this I'll cut out the background Are you not going to make it round Just keep the petals the background and the spacing between them the same It cuts and removes them all in the same way It will not be round anymore The current state is not original but if we reduce it like this keeping the same width as the background the If stretched into a circle this flower will become a circle I'll make it longer It's hard to stretch properly when it's cold My fingers are really sore But I managed to stretch them all for now It's time to check the pattern by cutting You did well My gradient didn't turn out as intense as I had intended But the shape came out as I had imagined Dahlia flowers come in many different shapes Some have plump crisp petals There are some slightly uneven ones like this I worked on them in a slightly uneven way I feel a bit unsure Because they are not exactly the same It turned out as I intended I think it would look even better if I apply a thicker layer of UV resin Because I just used the leftover effect line there's a sparkle So I cut this one out Apply a thick layer of uv res We have completed the thick coating with UV resin The color becomes more vid and lively You can clearly see the pearl it sparkles nicely I tried making a dahlia flower cake but personally I didn't really like it But when I slightly increased it It is like a flower yet not quite Well since the completed Cain has been made I'll probably upload this video Today's tutorial will end here I'll see you in the next video The dahlia flower probably will be different again
