Lynelle's Polymer Clay Canework Gallery

Here is some of my canework. Until fairly recently, canework, and canework applied to objects, were my only clay techniques. The sidebar image a scan of my Didi cane.

Daisies

	This is the previous daisy applied to the ends of a rounded cylander bead. It was an attempt to fake a "Chevron Bead", one of my favorite styles of glass bead.
		These are some daisy cane slices folded into saddle shapes.

Shaded Roses

I learned to make these roses in the second day of my first polymer clay class, which was taught by Lindly Haunani. She taught us a "block method" of color shading.

Other Flowers

I learned to make the 5-petalled and 6-sided flowers in my first polymer clay class, taught by Lindly Haunani.
			This was my first attempt at making my own cane pattern. I was trying to make a daisy.
		Two more tries at making daisies that didn't quite succeed. They look a bit like sloppy quilt patterns.

Sun, Moon and Stars Swap

These were made for a swap on the rec.crafts.polymer-clay newsgroup. 5 of the 6 canes were made using techniques I learned in a Celestial Cane Class taught by Z Kripke.

Box Swap

These boxes were pretty tedious to make. The side (cylander) was made by putting clay around a section of cardboard tubing. Then the side was baked. Then the bottom was cut out using the bottom edge of the side as a pattern. Then the bottom was added to the side. Then it was baked again. Then the decorating canework was added to the side. Then baked again. Then I pulled out the cardboard tubing.

Then a lid was cut out using the top edge of the side as a pattern. Then the lid was baked. Then the decorative canework was added to the lid. Then it was baked again.

In all of these steps I used Sculpey Diluent to wet the baked clay so the unbaked clay would stick to it firmly.
