You know, some canes you make to use, and some you make just because you want to see if you can. I had a real longing to make a poppy cane a while ago, and ended up with this cane. I'm quite pleased with it, to say that I mapped/designed it myself: this was my third attempt - let's just say I currently have a LOT of muddy red clay to use up due to this project!
It's been languishing at the back of my box for a while, but I rooted it out today and it's inspired me to try some more 'realistic' flower canes. Usually I make canes according to the pattern or colour I want, with little concern for them being anatomically correct!
Now I just have to figure out which flower to start with...
Wow, that is fantastic, Hazel! I can see some stunning beads following on soon.....!!
ReplyDeleteWhat about a Gerbera, they are lovely and bright and my favourites.
ReplyDeleteThanks June - I've been trying to make beads with poppies on a green background, but they keep looking much too Christmassy ;)
ReplyDeleteNan, great idea, I love Gerberas too..hmm must get thinking on how to do that :)
