New Canes from the clay weekend.

by Kathi on Monday, June 25, 2007

So I already told you about the weekend with Jean and Cat. Now it is time to show the canes I created. I know you have been holding your breath for this haven’t you? :)

The first cane I made is a PNW style cane. Imagine that! Someone asked me to make a sea otter so I did. The background is different then I normally do for my PNW images. Cat suggested to make it like the sea with waves. So, this time I used trans and white chopped with small bits of blue and green. each slice will give a different aspect of the otter floating on the water. I think it will look great as an overlay on a nice background, which is something I have on my “to do” list.

The next cane I made was a flower cane. Yep…you read that right. Cat made a gorgeous one and I whimpered until she gave me a few hints and tricks on what to do with my blend. She responds well to whimpering and begging, even though her husband was looking at his non-exiting watch because they were almost ready to head out to Sacramento. I am really happy with how it turned out and had a few ideas on how to tweak it to make it more *mine*.

Once I got home I decided to see if my tweaks would work in this style of flower. So I whipped up a new blend and started to play. I am happy (sort of) with how it turned out but can see things to change about on the next one. Yep, read that right too. I need a break from the PNW style since they are so concentration intensive. so here is the second flower cane I made.

So, there are the fruits of my labor dduring the clay weekend. Soon, these canes will be coming to my Dragonsglass Etsy Store. I want to thank you for taking the time to look at my site.
