Hi Mary Ellen, It’s not late at all to be posting here! In fact it keeps the posts active which I love!

I hope that everything is alright with you. You worried me a bit when you said “your life took a dramatic turn”.

Glad you like the cane. I think it would make a beautiful pair of earrings! Could maybe be baked on a light bulb to give it a lovely cup shape if you wanted to. I wrote about how to do that once. Click the link by my name if you want to read the article.

Take care. Hope to hear lots from you, now that you are back!

Yes Cindy I’m all the way back to Feb…. When my life took a dramatic turn.. Trying to play catch up again. Love the red cane.It looks exotic. If you cut it thin earrings would be awesome! Hope you see this comment. I know it’s late but as they say “better late than never”!

@Anna: That’s great to hear you want to learn how to do the raku technique! I am trying to get the videos done for that as soon as I can.

@MJ: Nice to hear from you again! I will get to both of these techniques soon. As far as a reducing larger cane video, that is a great idea… I’ll add it to the list.

Hi Cindy,

Would like to see video for both this and the Raku (which was a feast to the eyes) methods. Might I suggest a detailed video on reducing large canes to small without losing detail? Have read how but really need to see “live” demo of at least a couple of methods.

Thanks.

I am still hoping for the Raku Bead Video.

I know, it is way harder to explain things in words than it is in video. I will be making this cane into a video if I get enough interest in it, Illaya so hopefully lots of others will ask for it too. It is a very fun cane and you’re right, it does have a lot of uses!

Everything is real followable until “also wrap the folds on themselves to produce the effect shown in the photo above, to me this is not clear. I am assuming that once you have the Skinner blend strip accordian folded you then crease aat the light shade end and start curving the rest around. This probably doesn’t make sense. Being a visual person words just don’t make sense to me. I think I could do better with a video of this technique. Sure had fun thinking up colorways for this technique. Also loads of uses for it. Hope a video of this is in your future. Illaya

That is the great thing about handmade beads from polymer clay. It doesn’t really matter what it was supposed to look like, only that it looks cool! It’s art right?!

Your color combinations sound fabulous! And copper always looks good with polymer clay. I would love to see your creation Monique!
