Eye Cane
When we start out making canes, it's confusing. Instructions tell us to make things assuming we already know what they are. This tutorial will show some of the components that go into making canes. I hope this helps you understand better. This month, we will make the eye.

Eye Cane
Iris
In the center is a white dot for the sparkle in the iris. (I should have made this a lot bigger) This is surrounded by black clay rolled into a log. Next is a Skinner Blend of light to medium brown clay for the iris.
Note: The white dot is way too small for the size of the eye. I was too tired when I made it. Normally it would be about 1/4 the size of the black log.
Whites of the Eyes
Make a triangle out of white clay that is twice the length of the iris cane. Cut in half. Push the inside of each half against your finger to round it and place it against one side of the iris. Repeat with the other half. Wrap the whole thing in black. I did straighten up the triangle before using it.
Let eye cane rest and firm up while you go on
to the next section of the face.
