In just over an hour, I’ll be leaving for the 10th Annual Bead & Button Show. It’s the largest bead show in the world. I’ll be demonstrating how to use polymer clay canes for fingernail art, and how to use polymer clay canes to make a pattern sheet, beads, and Comfort Grip Cane Slicing Blades.
I’ll be sure to take lots of pictures!

Raw animal print canes for nails
The May 2010 issue of Nails Magazine has a technique demo I wrote, using fimo nail art canes. I’ve combined my raw leopard animal print and baked calla lily flower for a dramatic effect! This nail art design would look great with a set of pink and white nails, and a leopard print handbag or clothing.
Due to limited space, Nails Magazine wasn’t able to include all of my hints, tips, and troubleshooting information in the technique demo they published. So I am offering a 4 page expanded version of the demo, ABSOLUTELY FREE! This expanded demo includes:
12 full color photographs (4 of which weren’t in the magazine)
14 extra hints and tips to make even new fimo nail art users feel more confident
A troubleshooting section to help with potential problem areas
PDF format for easy printing
The demo is located in my Fimo Nail Art Shop, and listed as a downloadable product. In order to download the demo, you will have to go through the checkout in my shop. But again, there is no fee or shipping costs for this demo! Click HERE to go straight to the demo.
