February 19, 09 Canes

Here are the latest canes that I have completed. I just LOVE the orange flower cane and took a very large chunk of that one for my own personal collection of caning pieces.

I also am showing the small tiny flower cane that I accidently over packed. It will do well in a cluster to create a floral border of some sort.

Following that are two focal beads that both are adorned with the latest batch of floral canes and leaves. I try and use all my clay up in some fashion or another.








I have more raw clay sitting on my work table just BEGGING to become canes, I will post them as I finish them :)

Canes for February 17th

I sat down this weekend and decided to put together a couple new canes. I have been working on putting my seed bead loom patterns into book format and I have neglected my caning and bead work.

I decided to do a couple kaleidoscope canes and some more flowers since my flowers are selling like crazy and I wanted to have some more options for folks. I sat down and created a couple sets of beads; pillows, rounds with white chryssie canes on them, two floral focals with my pink, purple and orange flower canes, and a set of cane small slices for lanyards and the likes. In the meantime, I was trying to decide what colours I wanted to use for my new kaleidoscopes.

It was cool and it was raining so I went for more of the bright colours and ended up with what could only be described as CIRCUS!


This bright coloured cane will end up in ebay in about 5 minutes but for now it is strutting it's stuff here.

I also did a mini flower cane that I havent taken a photo of yet. It started out like my other flowers but I added one slight layer too much transluscent on the outside and it was a little bit thick. I decided to reduce it down to almost pencil eraser size and will bunch them with leaves for a bouquet look.

I will get those up here too.

I have more canes coming.
