by Leave a Comment

Sometimes the simplest polymer clay canes make very effective designs. This very simple pattern cane from Olivine demonstrates this quite clearly. Pick colours that work well together along with a contrasting colour. Stack and cut them neatly. Use a sharp blade and don’t reduce the cane much in order to keep your stripes as crisp as possible.

Use the slices to make a veneer sheet and cut out beads to keep the best geometric pattern.
