The ability to combine more than one polymer clay technique is what makes working with this stuff so darn fun! The Rose Brain Cane Mobius Bead in today’s photo is a perfect example of this.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bold graphic design started off with a Skinner Blend, made using my Teardrop Method<\/a> going from Cadmium Yellow Premo Sculpey to Cadmium Red Premo. It was then layered with Black Premo and folded \/ rolled into a Brain Cane. But not just any Brain Cane… a Rose Brain Cane<\/a>, which combines the traditional brain cane design with a flower cane. Finally, a slice of this cane was cut and folded into the shape of a Mobius Bead<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you didn’t already know, the mobius bead is named after the Mobius Loop – a flat band that is formed into a continuous loop which if you were to travel along its surface you would cover both the inside and outside of the loop without ever crossing an edge. I know, I know… it sounds insanely complicated. But its a science thing. And scientists often like to venture into the complicated!<\/span><\/p>\n

Any who… I thought it would be fun to show you just how creative you can get with polymer clay bead making. Just because I do a tutorial one way, doesn’t mean you can’t do it another. By all means, go ahead and mix things up a bit. See how many different techniques you can combine into one bead. I dare you to give it a try!<\/span><\/p>\n

I have made the brain cane before using different colors and the brain cane is absolutely beeeautiful in metallic colors. I love the colors you have used too.<\/span> ~Lynn-W<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, as usual my cane looks nothing like it’s supposed to, but in this case I like it anyway. I used turquoise and white as the Skinner and red as the thin layer. I made a copper Nunn pendant from it, baked it, then coated it with Kato Clear. I think it looks like copper enamel.<\/span> ~Monique-S<\/strong><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
