Example pages from Miniature Sculpted Orchids Tutorial 2
This is the second polymer clay tutorial in Miniature Sculpted Orchids series. I am planning to eventually have four tutorials; each for a different type of orchids. In this series, I will explain not only how to sculpt all these flowers, but also how to make different millefiori canes for leaves and different shapes of leaves, how to apply these sculpted details to different bases, such as polymer clay, shells, sea glass, and gems. I will also show you how to incorporate various embellishments in your designs, including beads, pearls, and semi-precious stones.

The tutorial includes:

Detailed step-by-step instructions for free-hand sculpting of phalaenopsis orchids embellished with fresh-water pearls;

Thorough explanation of how to make the millefiori canes used in this project;

Instructions for attaching polymer clay decorations to a bead base;

Additional tips to guide you though this project;

Nearly fifty big full-color pictures showing every step;

Detailed list of materials;

Complete list of tools needed to finish this project.

Pre-requisites: Some previous experience with polymer clay is helpful, but not necessary.
