tutorial rewrite of orchid cane tutorial

This is a short rewrite for this awesome tutorial paroledepate.canalblog.com/archives/2010/06/29/18446538.html

1. Make a pretty skinner blend

2. fold it like a harmonica and cut in half. Place the same colors together as shown.

3. Round it up and slice it into sections to make dots.

4. roll a very thin snake of clay in a contrasting color

5. Place the snakes randomly between the slices of your petal.

6. Place all the slices together and wrap another contrasting color around the petal.

7. Reduce to 12 cm, cut 2 3cm sections and 3 2cm sections.

8. reduce the 2cm sections to a length of 3 cm so you'll have 3 smaller and 2 somewhat bigger petals.

9. Time to make the center, I used a piece of skinner blend with only two colors, instead of the three, but you can also use a solid color. Wrap the harmonica skinner into the same contrasting color as the petals. reduce and cut in half. Reduce one half further to twice the length of the petals.

10. Cut the two length piece of your harmonica into two pieces and flatten them. Roll a tiny piece of the contrasting color and wrap it with the dot color. Wrap your two flattened pieces around.

11. Shape the remainder of the harmonicaplug into a triangle and place it underneath the rest of the centre.

12. Assemble the orchid. Fill all the small spaces with translucent en reduce, and your orchid cane is done!
