\"Dandelion<\/a>Vid #218:<\/span> <\/strong>“Been dying to see more about this cane. Mine are far from “ghost-like” which means I have a lot to learn!” ~Jocelyn-C<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now if you aren’t familiar with Ghost Canes… they are basically a polymer line drawing where the lines are made with an opaque clay, usually white or black, but can be any solid color. And the rest of the cane is made up of translucent clay.<\/span><\/p>\n

When this type of cane is sliced thinly and placed on a background of a different color, the white space<\/em> disappears and the lined image appears to float<\/em> on the surface… like a ghost.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Although I did publish a ghost cane tutorial<\/a> several years ago, the requests keep coming for me to do more videos on this topic…<\/span><\/p>\n

Hi Cindy, a while back you had a video on making ghost canes, and mentioned that later on down the road you would be doing some more. Are you planning on doing another video any time soon? Thanks.<\/span><\/span> ~Connie-T<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hi Cindy, I would be interested in more ghost canes. I LOVE all of your videos!!!!<\/span><\/span> ~Stephanie-B<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, Cindy, I am super interested in your ghost canes!!! What a cool thing!!! I LOVE your ghost cane beads here and on your “Polymer Clay Rose Beads and Ghost Cane Jewelry<\/a>” page. I am quite intrigued! :) Hugs to you.<\/span><\/span> ~Cindy-E<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I would love love love to see a tutorial about “floating” things on beads. I have no idea how that is done!!<\/span><\/span> ~Heidi-W<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve seen these ghost canes on other people’s work and wished I knew how to do them.<\/span><\/span> ~Freda-K<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So in this week’s video tutorial I am going to demonstrate how to make a Dandelion Ghost Cane. It is hard to deny the pleasure that a child (or the child in you) <\/em>feels when picking a Dandelion Puff, giving it a blow and making a wish as the seeds float away in the breeze. It’s simply magical!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
