I like paper crafts so much, I keep going back to the same projects. A few months ago I saw this and decided to glue nice strips of paper [with cool patterns I found in an IKEA catalogue… ] to sized toilet rolls. Made a few bracelets. Huge sucess!
This time I thought that I could cut skinnier and shorter rings and make a necklace:
The next step after I decide what canes I will make for a big production run is to start pulling colours from my shelf or my colour list. So today that’s what I did, a bunch of colours, both custom mixed and straight from the pack Fimos:
After I had those, I began making basic Skinner blends (the gradient mixes that are the basis for ‘realistic’ millefiori or cane designs in polymer clay). Here’s most of them, very blurry because daylight was gone by the time I got these photo’d:
All together, these will make about 30 different flower canes like what I did on Day 1.
