\"Mod<\/p>\n

Jewellry making is more fun when the beads you use are made by YOU!<\/span><\/b>

The upper left image in this photo is a modern funky polka dot cane. Slices from this cane were added to the surface of the tube bead also pictured.<\/span><\/p>\n

What makes the ‘Mod’ polymer clay cane such an excellent cane for beginners is how easy it is to build. Using an extruder tool, you squeeze out long snakes of clay using different shades of clay. These multi-colored snakes are then cut and stacked to make a block of clay or ‘cane’ which can then be thinly sliced and added to any shaped clay bead or pendant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Extruder canes such as these can be made in any color combination you choose. For the cane in this project, I used the color recipes posted in this article: Mixing Polymer Clay<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

When you make several different types of canes from the same palette it is easy to coordinate handmade bead designs into your jewelry making patterns.<\/span><\/p>\n

Creating a variety of different styled beads in the same color palette can make for an interesting piece of jewellry that still flows nicely because of the identical colors it contains.<\/span><\/p>\n

A good example of how versatile one simple color palette can be is the big difference between how the modern polka dot bead above looks, compared to this flower bead<\/a> made from the exact same polymer clay color recipes.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

So like I always say (well maybe this is the first time I’ve said it), if you are busy making beads and polymer clay canes for your jewelry projects and designs, nothing bad will ever happen to you :)   …   And that’s my good Karma advice for the today. Talk to you tomorrow. Same time, same place.<\/span>
