All sizes listed for polymer clay cutters are approximate and given in millimetres. Minor variation is normal and part of the handcrafted nature of 3D printed cutters.
Rinse your cutter with warm water after use and allow to air dry completely before storing. Avoid acetone, harsh solvents, or prolonged heat exposure as these can affect the material over time. Store flat or upright in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
Filiz polymer clay cutter, a name meaning sprout or young shoot, draws a small fanned spray of pointed petals rising from a single base, a clean, upright palmet in miniature. It cuts and embosses in one press, laying outline and inner detail down together.
The fanned palmet is one of the oldest ornamental forms carried through Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman art, and filiz, the fresh green shoot, names the young growth that Anatolian poets read as a sign of spring, renewal and beginnings.
Press it into earrings, pendants or decorative tiles wherever a small, clean botanical suits the piece. For a full botanical statement, step up to Elif Kamet. Each Filiz polymer clay cutter gives a clean, defined impression that holds through baking.
