Vid #108: This Technique Allows You To Float<\/em> Cane Designs On Any Bead Surface:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m not positive who made the very first polymer clay ghost canes, but you may have seen them before on polymer clay beads from Donna Kato and many others.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cool thing about these particular canes is how opaque and translucent clays<\/a> are combined together. It creates an image or drawing that appears to float on the surface of a bead, like a ghost.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means the cane takes on a different look, depending on the color of the bead it is layered upon. As you can see in the photo above, the same ghost canes were placed on both the purple and the orange beads, thus allowing the base color of each bead to become the background for the ghost cane design.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ghost canes can be done in any line design, using any color of opaque clay you desire. White is probably the most popular color of ghost cane, but I love to use black as well as lots of other colors including blue which gives the look of a tattoo.<\/span><\/p>\n

This week’s library video project to be released on Friday May 29th, will show you step by step how to make a simple ghost cane with circle shapes in the pattern, as well as a spiral or jellyroll ghost cane design.<\/span><\/p>\n

You will also learn tons of tips for altering the canes, plus see various examples on how to use them in your jewelry and bead designs<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The full version of the video will be available in the library on Friday (May 29). But further down on this page is a little<\/span> sneak peak clip<\/a> for you to watch right now if you like<\/span>.<\/span>
