Lots of Canes

 I started out trying to make new borders for my canes and ended up making a variety of canes to use in more complicated canes.

This is the first border cane I made.


I used it to make this pin


and I used it on the larger hearts and then used the scraps for the smaller heart beads. 


 Small canes from the border cane and end pieces


Corkscrew with border cane


More corkscrew canes and a Skinner blend bullseye cane


Border cane in green and black. This is my favorite, I like green and black together especially this olive green.


                                         Complimentary canes to use with the border cane


                                        Close up of flower cane and corkscrew canes.


                                         Pendants I made with end pieces and scraps.


I have beads in the oven, maybe I'll take photos tomorrow. I am suppose to be baking Christmas cookies and my muse wants to make canes... guess who won!

That's it for today.

Thanks for stopping by.

  4. Hi Smmtty... it nice to meet you. I am so pleased you find my blog helpful.

    I was playing with clay and came up with the border canes on my own. I don't have time to make a tutorial right now... I'm suppose to be baking cookies and making candy... but I plan to do one after the holidays... just keep checking in and remind me to do it... I'm old and forgetful so I need a gentle nudge now and then.

    Happy Holidays and thanks for stopping by.
