This poor thing started off great, but I think it dropped acid while I wasn't looking.

Reduced, wrapped, cut and turned into a kaleidoscope and rounded.

Part of the one to the left that I saved out to make this square.

Mirror heart. Somewhere between Natsha and Elissaheart. In other words, I played with it.

2" section cut in half, green sheet added. Wrapped in green and turned into a kaleidoscope. (is kaleidoscoped a word?)

Same as at left, cut into quarters, stacked and squared up.

Putting scraps together just for the heck of it.
There are lots more ways to use canes. Leftovers, unloved canes, even cane ends.
Links will be listed to all techniques as I locate them. For the best ways to learn, contact your nearest guild. Check the National Polymer Clay Guild to find one.
