A few weeks ago I've made a little millefiori cane collection and the main issue was working with the colors - Turquoise and brown. While working and building this bunch of canes, I saw that the colors where blending and reflecting a nature tone, a kind of desert atmosphere to it, so I've started taking pictures here and there. I'd never intended to publish this pics, but now, when I crossed over them again I thought it would be fun to share with you some of the process.
The collection is building up.
Emphasizing the Browns and Turquoise-blues with Cream-beige and Gold.
Some of the scraps are like a desert picture :)
The canes are almost done and the collection is building up quite nicely.

I am just wondering I love making canes just started to do it how much clay do you use in 1 cane and do you buy your clay in bulk or just singles cuz I buy translucent clay and put paint in it that's the cheapest way I can find since I'm on disability do you have any tips on where to buy and how much for someone to start on caning
ReplyDeleteHello tiffany :)
DeleteThank you for your comment :)
I do advice you to use solid clay, that the color is solid and not translucent.
I buy my clay at a shop in my town, and I do buy a lot, because of my work.
Sometimes I buy on the internet, at http://www.polymerclayexpress.com/
I advice you to build small canes and easy ones at first with small portion of clay - that way you will learn to control the material and learn the technique too.
I use a lot of white in my canning; when I choose the colors, so I recommend that you buy at first several solid colors that you love and a few solid white clay. so that way you can mix a small portion of colored clay with white, and get wonderful colors that way.
I use mostly FIMO brand - soft, love their colors.
If you have Facebook, you can friend me and there is a booklet only for my friends, for beginners, and you can ask me questions there too, regarding the tutorial there.
