How Do You Make Petal Decorations For Polymer Clay Bowls?
There are two different types of flowers you can put on polymer clay bowls. One is a cane flower, made by rolling logs of clay and layering them. The other flower is the traditional petal flower, such as a rose. Pick three contrasting clay colors and choose one color as the center of your flower. Roll this color into a log around 6 inches long. Choose your petal color and roll the clay into a long log. You will cut this log into six smaller logs around 4 inches long, so you need the petal log to be about 24 inches long. Attach the petal color logs to your center log. Work in a circular motion, connecting all the logs to the center. Roll out the last clay color and cut that log into six pieces, the same size as the petal colors. Take each log and work it into a triangle shape, so you can wedge the top part of the log in between the petal colors. Wedge the top of the triangle logs in between the petal logs. Squeeze the petal colors together, so the two colors mesh well together. Continue
