I love to make simple canes especially from scraps.

After I finish working on some canes, I get a load of scrappy ends, so I mix them together and get new colors…. I love that!

So here are 2 simple ones… they look ahhh ahhhm not so shabby… BUT as I say, everything got potential and when the accessories from them are done, I will show you what potential I am talking about.... yeah!
