That&#8217;s what today&#8217;s photo shows&#8230; a convoluted brain cane<\/span><!--more--><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> design mixed with the more traditional rose cane pattern. This &#8216;Rose Brain Cane&#8217; is fun and simple to make, which makes it perfect for beginners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Start by making a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/polymer-clay-skinner-blend-technique\/84\/\">Skinner Blend<\/a> that goes from Cadmium Red to Zinc Yellow. I used Premo Sculpey Clay for this project. Then lay this blend on top of a thin sheet of Black Clay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Starting at the yellow end of your Skinner Blend strip, fold the clay back and forth on itself, and also wrap the folds on themselves to produce the effect shown in the photo above. Most brain cane designs have much more random patterns than what you see in my rose brain combination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">What&#8217;s great about this cane, is how graphic and bold the colors are. It looks good large and unreduced as it is in the photo above at about 1 1\/2&#8243; across. But because of it simple contrasting design, it also looks good tiny even right down to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/fimo-nail-art-designs-making-polymer-clay-canes-fingernails\/174\/\">Fimo Nail Art<\/a> size of 1\/4&#8243;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I would also look great and have a completely different look, if you used softer, less contrasting colors&#8230; such as a Soft Pink and Coral combination&#8230; or a White and Baby Blue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">So what do you think? Is this a cane you could see yourself using in future bead making projects?
