 Piezas Matrix Cane by celindaPolymer Clay Central has announced the January 2008 Challenge theme: Cane Slices. Want to participate, but aren't sure where to start? Here's a few resources for making polymer clay canes.

Even though I'm not much of a caner myself, I've still bookmarked quite a few useful & inspirational cane-related sites. But I hope those of you who are caners will leave a comment & let me know where you find cane ideas & tutorials.

Comments

I love to do canes as it's fun to combine colors and see what patterns you come up with. it's always a beautiful surprise. Linda

Thanks for your comment, Linda... although I have to disagree with you on one thing. Canes -- at least mine -- are not always a *beautiful* surprise! :-)
