@Jacqui: That's great, I'm glad you experimented and figured it out! It would be awesome to see pictures. You could send them in to Cindy, showing your cane or the beads, jewelry, etc. you make with it…

Thanks guys! As it turned out, after hunting through my growing stack of tutorials, I found one that worked perfectly. I made a skinner blend plug, with a lot of light/white on the end. I cut it into fourths, and then folded the 1/4 pieces so the dark color was on the inside and the pieces were almost flat. I cut and reassembled a few times, and it worked quite well!

@Jacqui Tolin: From Cindy's comment above yours, I'm wondering if she'll do a tut on this in the future. No way to tell, though, so I was wondering if you could perhaps manipulate her Flower Petal tut. It seems like by changing a few things in this petal tut, you could create a flower like the one above. If you cut & recombined it fewer times, the veins of color would be longer and would stand out more. You could use a different blend, one with more of the light color. Then, finally, you would use less petals, and shape them differently before assembling the flower and packing the cane. If you haven't already done so, you should check out the videos in Volume 15. It has a "Graffiti Beads" video, as well as all of the flower cane parts videos. Vol-015 is the first back issue I ever bought, and I was very happy with it! I think this could be the way to go to create a flower like the one you asked about.

Cindy — I was looking at the the "wild geranium" color and wondered if you had a tutorial for how to do a flower like this? I saw the spliced cane, but I'm looking for those long veins of color. Thanks, Jacqui

Thank you everyone, you are so sweet! Maybe someday I'll make a flower cane inspired by these colors too!

They're my favorite colors too! I'd love to learn how to make the flower.
Thanks Cindy, I look out for your email every Friday.

Have a great week
