Sparkle white polymer clay feather cane

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 18:01:02 -0500

$6.00
This beautiful feather is made up of mostly sparkle white with a little blue. Each ray of this feather is bordered by white. Look closely, the sparkle white tends to be a bit translucent when baked. Very nice.

Too bad sparkle just doesn't photograph well. What may look like dust is really sparkle. Just a tiny bit.

I'm including a little tutorial on how to cut these so they look more feather like. See the last extra image.

NOTE; It is normal for clay to darken slightly when it's baked. All the feather cane listings where you see me holding up a few feather pieces, those have been baked.
As you can see, the color difference between the baked pieces and the raw cane is very slight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh so many things you can make with feather canes.

All by themselves they make great charms.
Here is one example from my other shop.
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=32475091

I have several pairs of earrings there as well.
Here are just a few made with a previous cane to give you some ideas.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I will cut MORE than 2" (A quarter inch at least,) to allow for some distortion during packing.

Bulk orders are welcome. Contact me for info.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use;
Anyone can use polymer clay canes.
Slice with a thin blade, either one made for clay or an exacto will work, slice off sections.
If the clay squishes, pop it in the freezer for a few minutes to stiffen it up making it easier to slice.

Need another size? You can enlarge or shrink pieces from your cane.
To make a larger piece, slice feather canes thick, and you can manipulate your piece, flattening and pulling to make it much larger than the cane it came from. Look at my little cutting tutorial image for tips on making it look more feather like.
Or... to make smaller feathers, you may want to reduce your cane first. To do the feather canes, hold with the pointy sides between your thumb and fingers on each hand and push together. Starting from the mid section and do this towards the end. This will make the feather bulge out at it's mid section. So then again, start from the mid part of your cane and squeeze the sides together. Keep doing this until your feather is as small as you need.

Bake at 265f for a half hour to cure. (That's a half hour per quarter inch. Really thin slices can do with less. You can always bake twice, or at a lower temp for a longer period of time but don't over bake.)
Cured clay can be painted, drilled, sanded, varnished, or just left as is.

I put a web page together with every cane I have made so far.
If you see something there not on my etsy shop for sale, by all means let me know.
IF I made it once, I can make it again. (usually)

Quit polymer clay cane full of animal prints

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:45:49 -0500

$6.00
Another nice scrappy quilt polymer clay cane. This one is loaded with bits made from left over animal prints. A recent discovery of mine is that I can run left over cane through an extruder, and much of the pattern is left in tact. Zoom in close and you can almost make out the parts made from leopard, zebra, and tiger patterns. Along with some of my orange eye cane and various bits of mixed coordinating colors.

Be sure to look at the second image. I have four pieces loosely stacked which can give you an idea how they would look if used as a veneer.
This type of cane would be perfect to cover objects with. Anything that can go in your oven at 265f. can be covered with clay.
Possibilities are endless.

To make a veneer, slice your pieces as uniform in thickness as you can.
Lay your slices on a flat hard surface. A marble floor tile works great for this.
Use an acrylic roller to smooth, or I find it easier to lay a heavy piece of plastic on the slices and smooth them, and make sure they all join with my finger. The plastic prevents prints.
With your tissue blade, remove the merged slices from your surface and apply to what ever you want to cover.
Smooth as best as you can while the clay is raw. It will save sanding later.

Bake.

Quarter inch thick pieces make nice charms for jewelry, buttons or as scrap book pieces.
Paper thin slices work as a veneer on any surface that can take baking.
(Look at some of my eggs for this technique.)

Kaleidoscope polymer clay cane

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:31:00 -0500

$6.00
Another scrap cane. Made with bits and pieces of previous canes, zoom in to see the detail. The center is one of my eye ball canes though here it looks more like an olive to me.
And around that, if you look really close, you can see avocados, some grapefruit cane, orange eyes, and reduced even smaller are some bits of leaf cane, and even several animal prints and quilts.
from a distance though, this pattern is just that. An interesting pattern.

(note, after I looked at this photo I see the piece I shot my close up with got smudged. Zoom into the second picture. You'll get a better view of all the bits that made up this cane. I'll replace that first photo eventually.)

And like all scrap canes, once this one is gone, it's gone. Never to be reproduced again.

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I usually cut an extra half inch or so before shipping to allow for ends that won't be perfect.
(Unless noted in the description, a few canes are down to the last bit.)

Look at the extra images for one of this cane next to a coin for diameter.

Use;
Slice with a thin blade, either one made for clay or an exacto will work, slice off sections.
If the clay squishes, pop it in the freezer for a few minutes to stiffen it up making it easier to slice.

Stain Glass clay cane with white

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 16:32:17 -0500

$6.00
All the colors in this "stain glass" cane are translucent clays. Bordered with a thin line of opaque white.

>>> Only two pieces left <<<

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SPECIAL NOTES for translucents....
This cane would be perfect for use as a sun catcher, or as a veneer for anything light can pass through. Votive candles for example.
Normally for baking polymer clay, I tell people new to this or who may not have very accurate ovens, to bake cooler and longer than recommended. However, with translucents it's best to bake at the highest temp possible.
Then.... take your piece right out of the hot oven off it's baking surface and plunge into ice water. This helps make the translucent clay more translucent.
Of course, if your covering glass, skip that step or your glass will crack.

Also... there is no such thing as transparent clay. Only translucent. So to really get the effect, it's best to slice your cane as thin as you possibly can. Or work it thin once applied to what ever your making. The thicker the piece, the less light can pass through.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Slice with a thin blade, either one made for clay or an exacto will work, slice off sections.
If the clay squishes, pop it in the freezer for a few minutes to stiffen it up making it easier to slice.

Tatoo Kaleidoscope cane

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 16:29:45 -0500

$6.00
Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I started with some left over red tatoo heart cane, you can see that here.
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29280776

And added bits and pieces of previous black and white cane projects, and made some more and created this unique rectangular kaleidoscopic cane creation.

This one would work well as a veneer to cover just about anything. If you can bake it at 265 for a half hour or so, you can cover it with polymer clay.
Endless possibilities.

Honest, look closely at the pictures. Amazing detail in this cane. The pictures really don't do it justice.

Daffodil cane

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 16:20:43 -0500

$4.00
Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.

This is actually an old cane, one of the first I ever made. I made this for a project of mine then forgot all about it.
It's been stored in an air tight container and I have already worked and used a bit, it's perfectly fine. (polymer clay really doesn't go bad.) I've reduced some of this to be added to the tiny canes section too. It was just as pliable as when I made it.
I am selling these at a lower price than most, only because it's not the best flower cane in the field so to speak. But.... it's still pretty nice. Just a humble little daffodil.
Wrapped in translucent clay.

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I usually cut an extra half inch or so before shipping to allow for ends that won't be perfect.

Quilt polymer clay cane NEW

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 11:28:32 -0500

$6.00
Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.
NEW!!! Quilt cane. This is my prototype, limited quantity.

Story to this one, (there usually is.)
Any time a new cane is made, the ends are a lost cause. It's just the way it is.
Sometimes there is enough good design in there to reuse. Some get included in a kaleidoscope cane, or a scrappy feather cane. But most of the time, I toss end pieces into a pile thinking I'll use some of that myself, or I'll get around to just blending like colors eventually....

Well! Today I had an epiphany!
I have this extruder gun. Rarely ever use it. Well.... I popped in a piece of left over cane, and using the largest triangle bit I had, squeezed out a long strip.
Started stacking them and viola!
Now.... honest. Zoom in on the photos here. I was quite amazed when I realized some of the original pattern stays in tact! In fact I didn't even notice until I was getting the pictures ready to list here. But look! The purple plaid? It's STILL plaid! I can see some of the purple tiger stripe left overs I used. WOW!

Oh boy oh boy!!!! I can see all sorts of variations I can do with this. Count on finding more quilt canes here soon. And I finally have a way to whittle down my mountain of scraps too!

As this one was my very first prototype, I didn't make much of it. The three pieces in the last photo is it. And with these? I'll NEVER be able to repeat a pattern exactly.

This type of cane would be perfect to cover objects with. Anything that can go in your oven at 265f. can be covered with clay.
Possibilities are endless.

Large round pink buttons

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 11:52:55 -0500

$1.50
Hot hot pink! Funky large round buttons sure to brighten up any of your creations.

Pictures really don't do these justice. There are faint stripes of pearl blue mixed in with the pink which has a shimmery glow that just doesn't come through in a flat picture.
I textured the surface of these buttons to help with that shine effect.

Look at the extra pictures for one by a ruler.

These are completely hand formed so some variation in size and shape is to be expected. I try to put together sets that most closely match.

>>>PLEASE NOTE<<<
I did NOT drill holes in these yet. I think this pair could also be turned into earrings, or even pendants. Or... they do make shanks that can be glued to the back if you would rather not have holes.

If you want holes, please just put that in the comments when you order.
They would look just like the holes in these buttons which are about the same size.
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24243943

If you don't put anything in comments, I'll leave them as they are.

CARE;
Polymer clay makes wonderful buttons. They are washer safe though it is recommended that you turn garments inside out. (Mainly to keep the button from banging against the machine which could chip them.)

It's recommended to NOT dry clean polymer clay buttons.
And polymer clay is cured at a fairly cool oven at as little as 230F. So a very hot dryer is probably not a good idea. And don't leave polymer clay anything in a hot car.

Thanks for looking.

Large Square PINK buttons

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 11:52:55 -0500

$2.20
Hot hot pink! Funky square buttons sure to brighten up any of your creations.

Pictures really don't do these justice. There are faint stripes of pearl blue mixed in with the pink which has a shimmery glow that just doesn't come through in a flat picture.
I textured the surface of these buttons to help with that shine effect.

Look at the extra pictures for one by a ruler.

These are completely hand formed so some variation in size and shape is to be expected. I try to put together sets that most closely match.

Custom flower cane

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 11:51:23 -0500

$5.00
I love requests. Mainly because I love a challenge.

The story;
One of my customers sent me a picture of some beads she just bought and wants to cover the back (to add weight) with clay and can I match the design. Easy enough.

Now... I have to say, this is NOT the way I wanted it to come out. I wanted the flower to have longer petals just like the ones on the beads but I ran out of yellow half way into it. So rather than set it aside until I can restock, I went ahead and finished but with shorter petals.
I'm calling this version one because I really like the pattern on these beads, and plan to do more. I wanted to make two canes, one plain flower and one with the flower and a bit of that vine shape around it.
Oh well... it's added to my to do list.

I did nail the color though. (Being a painter helps there.) Sort of a dijon mustard color. Should be a good match for those interesting beads.
Look at the extra photo for one with bits of this cane and the beads they were made for.

By the way, you can find those beads here. http://PalomaAntigua.etsy.com

NEW>>>> Here is the part made with my cane by Mommbaear7.
Look at the second image.
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24593619
It's so very cool to see my canes actually being used. I always love to see this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use;
Slice with a thin blade, either one made for clay or an exacto will work, slice off sections.
If the clay squishes, pop it in the freezer for a few minutes to stiffen it up making it easier to slice.
Quarter inch thick pieces make nice charms for jewelry, or as scrap book pieces.
Paper thin slices work as a veneer on any surface that can take baking.
(Look at some of my eggs for this technique.)

Bake at 265f for a half hour to cure. (That's a half hour per quarter inch. Really thin slices can do with less. You can always bake twice, or at a lower temp for a longer period of time but don't over bake.)
Cured clay can be painted, drilled, sanded, varnished, or just left as is.

NEW!!! I put a web page together with every cane I have made so far.
If you see something there not on my etsy shop for sale, by all means let me know.
IF I made it once, I can make it again.

Bargello cane, stripe pattern

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 11:51:23 -0500

$6.00
Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bargello canes are so versatile.
This one I tried altering my pattern just a bit. Made sort of a zig zag stripe.
This one lines up as a tile really well. Perfect for covering objects with a veneer of clay.
Very native American esk. And would work beautifully with my eagle feather canes too.

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I will cut MORE than 2" (A quarter inch at least,) to allow for some distortion during packing.

Bulk orders are welcome. Contact me for info.

Red White and Black feather

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 11:51:23 -0500

$6.00
Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.

This is another scrappy cane. Made from left over bits of previous canes and odd pieces of clay. No two scrap canes are EVER alike or even close so this is it folks. Once gone, it is gone.
There is an incredible amount of detail in this cane. Look close at the pictures. Zoom in too.

This one is also much heftier than most of my other feather canes. Nice and thick in the wide part. If you cut thick slices, you can make very wide fan like pieces by flattening them with your finger.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh so many things you can make with feather canes.

All by themselves they make great charms. I have several pairs of earrings on my other shop. Here are just a few made with a previous cane to give you some ideas.

Fruit basket cane

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 11:43:35 -0500

$6.00
Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.
Fruit basket cane, made with some of my basket weave canes, several flower, leaf and citrus canes...... very interesting mix BUT!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PLEASE READ.... Even if your not big on reading descriptions, this one needs reading.

This is a "scrap" cane. Meaning I have used bits, ends, pieces too short to list and sell, all put together to make one large cane.
Like any scrap cane, the design will not be completely uniform all the way through. But close enough.

Well... not this one.
The little grapes I added to the mix were from a cane I made long ago, and didn't separate from the rest. It was made with Kato clay and not the sculpey, fimo, premo I usually use. Those other three all play nice together, but not Kato which is much stiffer and therefore does not reduce at the same rate.
Argh! I forgot I made that one with kato or I'd never have included it.

So... what happened, is the assembled cane starts out only about 2" long. As I reduced it into it's foot and a half or so final length, the grapes didn't keep up.
So as I cut this cane, only about the 1/3 of the center most part has grapes. The parts closer to the end have none. And some pieces have grapes on one end and little to none on the other.
There is enough of a difference to merit my pointing this out.

I took a shot of the entire stack of canes both front AND back. Note the penny? I just turned the tile the stack sits on around so you can see both sides of each piece.
Some of the top pieces have nice big grape clusters all the way through. And a few on the bottom row have none at all. (honestly, those look more like a true kaleidoscope than the ones with grapes. Those with grapes kinda look like a face.)

Please put in comments when you order one of these if you have any preference. If you want grapes, or no grapes. In fact, if you point to a specific piece in the stack I'll do what I can to make sure you get that piece. Just put it in your comments.

Feather polymer clay cane

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 17:06:26 -0500

$6.00
Feather cane in shades of purple, green and tipped with a touch of yellow. Feather canes can double as flowers or even leaves. Very versatile.

>>> LAST PIECE <<<

I'm including a little tutorial on how to cut these so they look more feather like. See the last extra image.
ALSO... Note in the picture, two of the three feather pieces I am holding seem larger.
They are cut from the EXACT SAME cane. Only cut a little thicker and flattened and stretched to make them bigger. So if you want bigger pieces, that is how.
This trick applies to all canes by the way. Just cut thick and stretch them.
Feel free to ask me questions. I'm more than happy to offer tips.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh so many things you can make with feather canes.

Slice with a thin blade, either one made for clay or an exacto will work, slice off sections.
If the clay squishes, pop it in the freezer for a few minutes to stiffen it up making it easier to slice.

Need another size? You can enlarge or shrink pieces from your cane.
To make a larger piece, slice feather canes thick, and you can manipulate your piece, flattening and pulling to make it much larger than the cane it came from. Look at my little cutting tutorial image for tips on making it look more feather like.
Or... to make smaller feathers, you may want to reduce your cane first. To do the feather canes, hold with the pointy sides between your thumb and fingers on each hand and push together. Starting from the mid section and do this towards the end. This will make the feather bulge out at it's mid section. So then again, start from the mid part of your cane and squeeze the sides together. Keep doing this until your feather is as small as you need.

Bake at 265f for a half hour to cure. (That's a half hour per quarter inch. Really thin slices can do with less. You can always bake twice, or at a lower temp for a longer period of time but don't over bake.)

Bake at 265f for a half hour to cure. (That's a half hour per quarter inch. Really thin slices can do with less. You can always bake twice, or at a lower temp for a longer period of time but don't over bake.)
Cured clay can be painted, drilled, sanded, varnished, or just left as is.

Bear Cane

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 11:32:57 -0500

$6.00
Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.

The cave bear. I'm down to only a few pieces of this cane. It's been for sale on my other site for some time, and I've used quite a bit of it myself making jewelry.
Little tip, the eagle feather cane works really well along with this one. I have earrings with feathers dangling from slices of this cane. Very unique indeed.

This is a pretty sizable cane too. Big enough to slice thick and use as beads, in chokers, bracelets and so on.

Any of my canes can be reduced to smaller sizes too. I'm happy to do that for you. Or can show you how if your new to using canes.

Many uses for this one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I usually cut an extra half inch or so before shipping to allow for ends that won't be perfect.

Look at the extra images for one of this cane next to a coin for size.

Use;
Slice with a thin blade, either one made for clay or an exacto will work, slice off sections.
If the clay squishes, pop it in the freezer for a few minutes to stiffen it up making it easier to slice.
Quarter inch thick pieces make nice charms for jewelry, or as scrap book pieces.
Paper thin slices work as a veneer on any surface that can take baking.
(Look at some of my eggs for this technique.)

Bake at 265f for a half hour to cure. (That's a half hour per quarter inch. Really thin slices can do with less. You can always bake twice, or at a lower temp for a longer period of time but don't over bake.)
Cured clay can be painted, drilled, sanded, varnished, or just left as is.

Tatoo heart polymer clay cane

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 11:29:43 -0500

$6.00
Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is a classy red heart surrounded by black swirly wire like lines and white.
I was going for sort of a barbed wire tatoo effect.
This would look good all on it's own. Sliced and made into beads.
Or streatched out and used to cover a larger pendant.
Just a few ideas.

note; I have also reduced some of this down to finger nail art size. Look in the teeny tiny section for those.

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I will cut MORE than 2" (A quarter inch at least,) to allow for some distortion during packing.

Bulk orders are welcome. Contact me for info.

Pentagram in black and white

$6.00
Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've been meaning to do a wiccan pentagram for some time now. I finally made a few.
This one is basic black and white. Great for beads, pendants, magnets, just to name a few ideas.

NOTE; I actually reduced this with five sides. But if you want it rounded like a pentagram is, I'd be happy to do that for you. It will slightly reduce the diameter of your piece but will also lengthen it.
Just put in the notes if you want me to round it for you.
Or.. you can do that yourself.

TINY little daffodil canes

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 20:40:13 -0500

$3.00
A humble little daffodil cane, reduced to 5-6 mm. (More or less.)
Perfect for finger nail art or miniatures.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
✾✿❀ >>>SPECIAL DEAL for the FIRST PERSON TO BUY<<<❀ ✿✾

My brain fart is your sale.
I cut these right after cutting a regular size cane. Those I sell in 2" sections.
And like I danged idiot, I cut the first two pieces of THIS one in 2" sections instead of the 3" long ones I sell these as.

So... I'm putting those two pieces together and sending that to the first person who buys this one. That's nearly 4 1/2 inches for the price of 3.

Darn aging brain anyway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please look at the second image for exact size. The main image is of the cane before reducing just to show detail.

Finger nail canes are sold in 3" long sections (which I always cut a little longer.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SHIPPING NOTE;
I have to ship these in the same small size box I use for regular canes. So shipping may seem high, and in fact if you only order one, it IS high.
Save by ordering more than one. Pay shipping on the first, the rest ship free.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have no clue how you finger nail artists use these. I only started making them after someone requested one. I've seen some sites offer these pre baked.
I am more than happy to do that for you upon request. No extra charge for that, just let me know.

Also... any of my round or square canes can be reduced. If you see a cane you want small and it's not here, just ask.

Bake at 265f for 15 min. to cure.

Blue and gold leaf round beads

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 11:34:59 -0500

$5.00
Set of four matching and one fairly large (see the extra photo) round beads.

Made with polymer clay, these are an experimental set of mine, where I used very thin sheets of translucent clay, with gold leaf incorporated into the clay, those were cut into strips and applied to each bead as it was formed. After baking, the whole bead went through a tumbling/sanding process and was given a clear coat of varathane.

If your looking for something a little different, these fit the bill.

Also look for a set of barrel beads done the same way. Listing each separate for those who only want small samplings.

Cheers and thanks for looking.

Orange Kaleidoscope cane

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:38:19 -0500

$6.00
Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.

>>> LAST PIECE <<<

I could swear I was sold out on this when I moved my canes off my other etsy shop.
But... cleaning out my stock I found several that somehow missed being listed here.

This is the only piece I have left of this one. AND... it's much longer than most.
Over 2 1/2 inches.

This is a fantastic cane too. Hard to see in the photo, but the green and blue in this cane are metallic clays so there is just a hint of sparkle to them.

I've used this one to make buttons and they come out amazing.

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I usually cut an extra half inch or so before shipping to allow for ends that won't be perfect.
(Unless noted in the description, a few canes are down to the last bit.)

Look at the extra images for one of this cane next to a coin for diameter.

Zebra Bead Set

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:38:19 -0500

$9.00
This is a nice set of two shape beads.
6 Pillow beads, and 7 drum shape beads.
(the two play so nice together.)
I would suggest stringing these with some basic black or white glass spacers.
There is enough here to make a dandy bracelet.

These beads are made from one of my own polymer clay canes. Then they are tumble sanded, hand buffed, and this set was given a coat of varathane for that glass hard shine.

Look at the extra images for size.

Please note, I hand form each bead. I do try and keep a set uniform but there will be variation in size and shape from bead to bead. Please look over the images closely and ask questions if you have any.

DESTASH feather cane pieces lot 1

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:14:09 -0500

$6.00
Destashing some feather cane left over pieces. Assorted feather canes, totaling in FOUR INCHES of cane at half price.

These are end pieces, but all perfectly good. I've trimmed both ends so the piece is fully useable. They are simply too short to list as single canes.
So.... I've been saving them and once I get enough, I'll put together sets at a discount.
The price for this lot is equal to half off.
(And not eligible for bulk discounts since these are already discounted.)

NOTE; please look closely at the pictures. Unlike my full price canes that are cut, wrapped and stored immediately, end bits get stacked together and may have dents, or the odd color bit of clay stuck to it.
They are all very useable. And what a great way to start off with a good variety of colors to play with.
So... be sure to look over the picture, I am listing three lots today and what you see is EXACTLY what you will get.

This one, lot #1,
From left to right, this set includes some blue glitter feather, purple glitter, TRANSLUCENT! Yes that feather is made with translucent clay. Finally a bit of peacock feather. A nice assortment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh so many things you can make with feather canes.

All by themselves they make great charms. I have several pairs of earrings on my other shop. Here are just a few made with a previous cane to give you some ideas.

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23541361
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15785487

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I will cut MORE than 2" (A quarter inch at least,) to allow for some distortion during packing.

Bulk orders are welcome. Contact me for info.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use;
Anyone can use polymer clay canes.
Slice with a thin blade, either one made for clay or an exacto will work, slice off sections.
If the clay squishes, pop it in the freezer for a few minutes to stiffen it up making it easier to slice.

Need another size? You can enlarge or shrink pieces from your cane.
To make a larger piece, slice feather canes thick, and you can manipulate your piece, flattening and pulling to make it much larger than the cane it came from. Look at my little cutting tutorial image for tips on making it look more feather like.
Or... to make smaller feathers, you may want to reduce your cane first. To do the feather canes, hold with the pointy sides between your thumb and fingers on each hand and push together. Starting from the mid section and do this towards the end. This will make the feather bulge out at it's mid section. So then again, start from the mid part of your cane and squeeze the sides together. Keep doing this until your feather is as small as you need.

Bake at 265f for a half hour to cure. (That's a half hour per quarter inch. Really thin slices can do with less. You can always bake twice, or at a lower temp for a longer period of time but don't over bake.)
Cured clay can be painted, drilled, sanded, varnished, or just left as is.

NOTE; It is normal for clay to darken slightly when it's baked. All the feather cane listings where you see me holding up a few feather pieces, those have been baked.
As you can see, the color difference between the baked pieces and the raw cane is very slight.

I put a web page together with every cane I have made so far.
If you see something there not on my etsy shop for sale, by all means let me know.
IF I made it once, I can make it again. (usually)

Orange honeycomb polymer clay cane

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:00:46 -0500

$4.00
I'm calling this the orange honeycomb because of the hex shape sections.
Here is a fun if not a little odd design I came up with almost by accident.

The story;
While playing around with my clay extruder, for the first time ever I popped in a hex shape bit. I have piles of end pieces from canes I've made, in particular I have a bunch of orange cane bits. So just to see what I'd get, I put one of those in.
Now I was expecting the colors in the cane to just mush up together, but no. The pattern of the cane came out almost in tact! The only reason each section in this cane doesn't look just like an orange is because I did use end pieces that are smooshed up to begin with.
Still... I had a bunch of this rope of extruded clay to play with. I added some plain orange to make sort of a geometric pattern with the oranges and assembled my cane.

Well... this is just too unique to toss back into the scrap pile. I can see this being used for all sorts of funky projects.
And... now that I know this works like this, I have plans for spring already.
Once the flowers are blooming, and bugs are back out, I'll start adding to the flowers section more. I see a bee in my future. Perhaps with a border of another color, and once extruded, I should have a honey comb shape cell with a bee inside.
Well.... that's' the plan. One of many. We'll see.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So.... as this was just an experiment, I didn't make much. Only two pieces are available.
And I'm going to post these a few dollars less than my usual 6.00 cane price.
(so not eligible for any bulk order discounts as it's already discounted.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I will cut MORE than 2" (A quarter inch at least,) to allow for some distortion during packing.
This is for one piece, the stack in the photo is to show uniformity and scale.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use;

Mokume Gane polymer clay cane

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 11:45:20 -0500

$6.00
The pattern, called Mokume Gane comes from a metal workers term. Taking many sheets of metal and fusing them together, then distressing the stack, pounding, hammering, finally polishing the surface smooth the result is a wonderful pattern resembling burl wood.

Well the technique has been applied to polymer clay.
Sheets are rolled to the thinnest setting of a pasta machine and fused together.
Pearl clays, metallic clays, translucent clays and even layers mixed with liquid clays infused with pearl powders. Gold leaf is often part of the mix. Stacks of these clay mixes can be rolled and twisted into balls, and sheets of clay are sometimes distressed and wrapped around the balls. The whole block is eventually compressed into a cube and when thin slices are taken off of this, the pattern is amazing.

I do have a few large blocks listed in the misc. section here. This cane is all I have left of a similar size block.
I've made lots of things with this one. Mostly for my own use. But here are some examples of items I have listed. Just to give you some ideas.
Basically anything that can be baked, can be covered with this amazing pattern. Once sanded and buffed, the shine and pattern really come alive.
Here are some samples.
buttons,
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22606782
And earrings from my other shop
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23628161

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You do not have to be an experienced clay artist to use this block. Though it might be a good idea to practice with plain clay, (much cheaper,) it does not take long to get the hang of coating objects. All the hard work was done by me when I made the block.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To use.... tips and instructions...

You will need a tissue blade for clay. (you can use a razor or exacto, but honest. PIck up a good blade. You won't regret it.)
A pasta machine is extremely helpful but not required.
IF you have a machine, you can take a slightly thicker slice and let the machine thin it for you. Without one, try to slice as thin as you can. A little practice on a plain block of clay would be a good idea here.

Any object that can handle being in the oven at 265f. for a half hour can be covered in clay. Eggs, some pens, metal switch plates, tins, and more. Apply your clay to the object, smooth as much as you can. (It will save on sanding later.) Bake.

After your piece has been baked, pick up some wet sand papers. Grit 400 through 1200 is ok. (Auto parts stores will have that.) Start with the smallest number. (400 or smaller is needed for the initial sanding. Those are the only ones course enough to take out finger prints and large imperfections.) Sand.. switch to the next grit, sand.... it gets easier as you go up the stack. You can feel the difference too. Clay starts out fairly course, but by the time your done with 4 or more grits, your piece will feel silky smooth.
I buff mine with a dremel but a clean piece of denim and some elbow grease works too.
The sanding and buffing is really needed to bring out the luster in this block of clay.
You'll see! LOOK at the two listings above. The detail is amazing.

Save all your scraps too. Loosely roll all your scraps together into a ball and you can slice sheets off of that for an even tighter smaller pattern.
Or... just make beads with them. They make wonderful beads.
Nothing goes to waste.

Also, if your making beads or buttons, make a blank out of plain white clay and use only thin slices to cover. This one cane can go a long way doing that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About this cane

I only make ONE batch of this at a time. This is it. Last bit of this pattern. Even if I tried I could never duplicate this.
The process is very time consuming indeed.

This cane contains metallic gold, copper, and green, with some pearl, and translucent clays mixed in between. A tiny bit of gold leaf is mixed in, not very much but you might find a glint of gold here and there.
And if you need wider slices, it would be very easy to reform this cane into a block again. Ask me if you need any help.

Just put in the notes if you want me to round it for you.
Or.. you can do that yourself. It's not hard.

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 10:24:08 -0500

$5.00
Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sunny orange.

New.... I've started using translucent clays for the juicy parts of my citrus canes.
They will look much more realistic once baked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I will cut MORE than 2" (A quarter inch at least,) to allow for some distortion during packing.
This is for one piece, the stack in the photo is to show uniformity and scale.

Bulk orders are welcome. Contact me for info.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use;
Anyone can use polymer clay canes.
Slice with a thin blade, either one made for clay or an exacto will work, slice off sections.
If the clay squishes, pop it in the freezer for a few minutes to stiffen it up making it easier to slice.
Quarter inch thick pieces make nice charms for jewelry, buttons or as scrap book pieces.
Paper thin slices work as a veneer on any surface that can take baking.
(Look at some of my eggs for this technique.)

Bake at 265f for a half hour to cure. (That's a half hour per quarter inch. Really thin slices can do with less. You can always bake twice, or at a lower temp for a longer period of time but don't over bake.)
Cured clay can be painted, drilled, sanded, varnished, or just left as is.

NEW!!! I put a web page together with every cane I have made so far.
If you see something there not on my etsy shop for sale, by all means let me know.
IF I made it once, I can make it again.

Peony Clay Cane

Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.

I found a tutorial for peony canes long ago. Finally got around to trying it out.
And WOW! The detail in this cane amazed even me! It was a royal pain to make, don't know how many more I'll do like this. Guess I'll see how popular it is.
I actually have peony's in my garden about this color. That's what I was trying for anyway.

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I usually cut an extra half inch or so before shipping to allow for ends that won't be perfect.
(Unless noted in the description, a few canes are down to the last bit.)

Feather cane in parrot colors of oranges and turquoise

$6.00
Another parrot feather cane, this one in a striking mix of oranges and turquoise. Very bright and colorful. Always popular.

Note.... most clay will darken after baking. The pieces I'm holding next to the raw canes clearly show how much you can expect. This is normal.

I'm including a little tutorial on how to cut these so they look more feather like. See the last extra image.

Feather polymer clay cane in blues

Another Polymer clay feather cane for your creations.

If the clay squishes, pop it in the freezer for a few minutes to stiffen it up making it easier to slice.

Need another size? You can enlarge or shrink pieces from your cane.
To make a larger piece, slice feather canes thick, and you can manipulate your piece, flattening and pulling to make it much larger than the cane it came from. Look at my little cutting tutorial image for tips on making it look more feather like.
Or... to make smaller feathers, you may want to reduce your cane first. To do the feather canes, hold with the pointy sides between your thumb and fingers on each hand and push together. Starting from the mid section and do this towards the end. This will make the feather bulge out at it's mid section. So then again, start from the mid part of your cane and squeeze the sides together. Keep doing this until your feather is as small as you need.

Bake at 265f for a half hour to cure. (That's a half hour per quarter inch. Really thin slices can do with less. You can always bake twice, or at a lower temp for a longer period of time but don't over bake.)

Translucent Feather cane NEW

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 14:03:07 -0500

$6.00
First time ever, I made a feather using translucent clays.
This one is mostly a mix of pink, purple and clear. Only a touch of blue, mostly in the "eye" of the feather, and a few of the lower rays. That came from some left over snow flake cane. Mostly translucent blue with just a big of pearl blue.

>>> 4 PIECES available <<<

I coated all the translucent colors with opaque white.
This means each ray of the feather should be a very thin line of opaque white.
But... the process involves stretching and reducing so much that the white almost vanished. I think should I try this again, I'll leave out the white. Or only use it in the center quill. We'll see how popular this one is.

I bet this cane would work just fantastic applied to glass. Candle holders, sun catchers, a mirror. I see lots of possibilities.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I always cut a little extra to allow for ends that won't be perfect.
(Unless noted in the description)

Look at the extra images for one of this cane next to a coin for diameter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SPECIAL NOTES for translucents....

Normally for baking polymer clay, I tell people new to this or who may not have very accurate ovens, to bake cooler and longer than recommended. However, with translucents it's best to bake at the highest temp possible. 275f. (do not bake any hotter. Burnt clay is nasty.)
Then.... take your piece right out of the hot oven off it's baking surface and plunge into ice water. This helps make the translucent clay more translucent.
Of course, if your covering glass, skip that step or your glass will crack.

Also... there is no such thing as transparent clay. Only translucent. So to really get the effect, it's best to slice your cane as thin as you possibly can. Or work it thin once applied to what ever your making. The thicker the piece, the less light can pass through.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Slice with a thin blade, either one made for clay or an exacto will work, slice off sections.
If the clay squishes, pop it in the freezer for a few minutes to stiffen it up making it easier to slice.

Blue and Green polymer clay feather cane

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 14:01:32 -0500

$6.00
Here is a nice blue feather cane with a hint of green mixed in. Back by popular request.

Feather canes are very versatile. They can double as leaves, flowers, scales, wings. Or just decorative trim.

>>> LAST PIECE <<<

I'm including a little tutorial on how to cut these so they look more feather like. See the last extra image.

Also... if you need a larger piece, cut thick and flatten it between your fingers. This will enlarge the piece by as much as double.

Or... if you want smaller pieces, feather canes can be reduced. Not as easy as round or square canes, but it can be done. I put the pointy part between my thumb and fingers on each hand and pinch together, pinching thumb and fingers at the same time your pushing your two hands together. This will make the center bulge out a bit, then go along the cane and pinch the wide part together. Do this over and over until you reach the desired size.
Convo me if you need any help. I'm always glad to assist.

Native American quilt style polymer clay cane

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:23:38 -0500

$6.00
I'm loving this new quilt cane technique. This Native American design features a center of faux turquoise surrounded by a native american blanket style pattern.
The turquoise center is a unique blend of several shades of blue, mixed with translucent, translucent blue, and a touch of copper to mimic the imperfections in turquoise. The translucent clays will be more evident once baked.

I'm really loving this new way of making canes. I made two with these colors. One round and one square. Get one of each for even more unique design ideas.
This square pattern makes for an excellent cane to use as a veneer over all sorts of objects. The stack of canes in the second picture might give you an idea how they look side by side.

Stain Glass Window polymer clay cane with sun

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:23:17 -0500

$7.00
Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.

A very interesting cane here. In the center you can see a small sun.
This cane here.
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33037530

I made a kaleidoscope stain glass window around the sun, and gave the whole thing a border from my wrought iron cane here.
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31545097

This cane all by itself is fantastic. But since it's square, you can piece it together and cover objects really easily.

NOTE about the photos.
The piece I'm holding in the main photo here was cut before I fully reduced this cane. It's about twice the size.
The second photo in, shows that piece with another cut from the canes listed. And that one was cut much thinner. This shows how different they look, how much light can pass through depending on how thin or thick the slices are.

As for that large piece, YOU can make large pieces even with this smaller cane. Just cut thick, say 1/4 inch, lay the slice on a flat hard surface, (I use marble floor tiles.) Lay a piece of heavy plastic on top of that. (The plastic they come wrapped in works great for this.) And start flattening and spreading your slice. You can double the diameter of any cane this way.

OR..... I do have a very limited quantity of this cane left that has not been reduced all the way.
IF you want a piece of this much larger cane I will be happy to set up a custom listing.
Because you might not need a full 2" of that one, I'll quote a price by request only.
Just drop me a note.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I usually cut an extra half inch or so before shipping to allow for ends that won't be perfect.

NEW translucent bargello cane

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:22:26 -0500

$6.00
Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All the colors in this bargello pattern cane are translucent clays. Bordered with a thin line of opaque white.
Note, I put together a small piece using four slices all smoothed together.
This would be a fantastic cane to apply to glass and make candle holders with. Or use with small lights. Or make window sun catchers.

The sample piece I made is about 1/8 inch thick and is probably just a little too thick to really show the light well. The trick with translucent clays is to cut as thin as possible.
Which also means, one cane goes a long long way.

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I usually cut an extra to allow for ends that won't be perfect with packing and shipping.

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I will cut MORE than 2" (A quarter inch at least,) to allow for some distortion during packing.

Bulk orders are welcome. Contact me for info.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use;
Anyone can use polymer clay canes.
Slice with a thin blade, either one made for clay or an exacto will work, slice off sections.
If the clay squishes, pop it in the freezer for a few minutes to stiffen it up making it easier to slice.
Quarter inch thick pieces make nice charms for jewelry, buttons or as scrap book pieces.
Paper thin slices work as a veneer on any surface that can take baking.
(Look at some of my eggs for this technique.)

Bake at 265f for a half hour to cure. (That's a half hour per quarter inch. Really thin slices can do with less. You can always bake twice, or at a lower temp for a longer period of time but don't over bake.)
Cured clay can be painted, drilled, sanded, varnished, or just left as is.

NOTE; It is normal for clay to darken slightly when it's baked. All the feather cane listings where you see me holding up a few feather pieces, those have been baked.
As you can see, the color difference between the baked pieces and the raw cane is very slight.

I put a web page together with every cane I have made so far.
If you see something there not on my etsy shop for sale, by all means let me know.
IF I made it once, I can make it again. (usually)

Tiny little eagle feather cane reduced for nail art

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 11:08:34 -0500

$3.00
Eagle feather cane reduced down to mini size for nail artists or other miniature makers.
Feather canes will measure approx. 3-5 mm across at the widest part, and 10 mm or slightly longer from base to tip. This is about as small as my fat fingers can get it.
All my mini canes are cut to 3" lengths. (And always cut a little longer.)

>>> Only one piece left <<<

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have no idea how you finger nail artists use these. I only started reducing canes this small after someone asked. I have heard slices can be used raw with no baking though I don't know how.
And some nail art sites pre-bake the entire cane before slicing.
(I'm more than happy to do that for you before shipping, just ask me in the notes to seller to bake it.)

Use;
Anyone can use polymer clay canes.
Slice with a thin blade, either one made for clay or an exacto will work, slice off sections.
If the clay squishes, pop it in the freezer for a few minutes to stiffen it up making it easier to slice.

If you see something there not on my etsy shop for sale, by all means let me know.
IF I made it once, I can make it again..... (Well usually. Depends which one.)

White Feather polymer clay cane

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 11:07:51 -0500

$6.00
Here is a more angelic color choice of feather canes. White with only brown and gold mixed in as the feather rays. I've seen this one used as wings. Very nice!
And if you look close, (and this photo REALLY can't show it)
I worked in just a small touch of gold glitter clay. Those little round bits in between the feather rays.
It's only partially glitter clay. Just enough that only the occasional sparkle shows up.
This won't happen with every piece or in every place that clay mix is used. This was intentional. I didn't want gaudy glitter mucking up the feather. Only a touch of highlight here and there.

>>> LAST PIECE <<<

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh so many things you can make with feather canes.

All by themselves they make great charms. I have several pairs of earrings on my other shop. Here are just a few made with a previous cane to give you some ideas.

Plaid cane in Christmas colors

$6.00
Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.

Reds greens and white make up this festive cane. Good for any time of year but I was thinking Christmas when I picked out the colors.

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I usually cut an extra half inch or so before shipping to allow for ends that won't be perfect.

Purple Pearly Mokume shank buttons set of 2

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 11:16:15 -0500

$4.00
This is a set of six very attractive shank back buttons made in the mokume gane style.
This set is a mix of purples, pinks, even some blue and a touch of gold.
The pictures don't do them justice. There is just a hint of sparkle as all the clays used are metallics or pearls. Very hard to show the luster.

I made twelve of these all from the same block of clay and all the same size and shape.
But I'm listing three separate groups. A set of 2, 4 and 6. Since not everyone wants a dozen buttons. There is no additional shipping to order more than one set. So order as many as you need.
The ones you get are EXACTLY the ones pictured. I made sure to bag them right after photographing.

Mokume gane;
Is an ancient technique of metal working where layers of metal are fused together, embossed and worked to imitate the look of burl wood.
Well the technique has been adopted by polymer clay artists for some time now.

These buttons have been tumble sanded, and individually hand buffed. They would look even better if glazed but I do not glaze any of my buttons as I don't know how the glaze will handle washing.

The shanks are baked right into the clay so will not pull out. Look at the extra photo for a shot of the back side.
Shank buttons made this way are extremely labor intensive. I can make similar size buttons with drilled holes as well. But when I need to include shanks the extra baking and time needed is why these cost so much more than simple drilled buttons.

Polymer clay buttons can be washed, it's recommended that garments be turned inside out to keep the button from banging into the machine.
And do not dry clean.

Large Gold Button, one of six

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 19:28:50 -0500

$4.00
This is a fairly large button, almost an inch and a half across.

Made from polymer clay, and the shank is hand formed wire which was baked right into the clay. The shank will not pull off.

See extra photos for a shot of the back side, one next to a ruler for size, and one shows the entire set together.

THE GOLD;
The gold of these buttons is a fairly new experiment of mine. After the black base is textured, I applied gold dust powder to the button. Normally I'd only do that to beads and other objects I plan to seal with clear gloss. But I don't use any sealer on buttons as I don't know how it will hold up in the wash.
I was afraid without sealer the gold dust would rub off. But... I've been told by a few other clay artists that no, the powder holds up really well.
I made a test button and ran it through the wash several times and sure enough. This works just fine.

Note; some small amount of gold dust may rub off the first time you try. But after one washing, that's it. It's kind of like when you pour glitter onto wet glue. Even after it dries, some will shake off. But only the particles that didn't actually touch glue.
Same with this clay. I use a stiff brush to apply the gold, so most of it is baked right in with the clay. Again, my test button held up fantastic.

WASHABLE;
Polymer clay buttons are completely washer safe. It's recommended you turn garments inside out mainly to keep buttons from clacking into the machine which might chip them.
DO NOT DRY CLEAN.

I made six of these, each with a unique design but all the same size.
Because large buttons are seldom needed in large sets, I decided to list each one separately. There is no additional charge to ship more than one so order as many as you need.
You are buying ONE button here. The one in the main picture.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally, I welcome requests. If you need more, or another size or shape, or color, what ever. I'm more than happy to take a crack at it. Just drop me a note.

Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.

By request, this is a granny apple green "lime" cane.
Only two pieces left.
PRICE REDUCED!!!

I used to sell ALL my canes at 6.00 per 2" section.
Well... the citrus canes are so easy to make, and I usually reduce them smaller than some of the kaleidoscope or other canes, that I have decided to lower the price to 4.00 per 2" section.

Shipping...
Sorry but shipping still costs the same, save by ordering more than one at a time. And very large orders might cost less to ship than the automated thing here will come up with.
If shipping is over a dollar I will refund the difference.
(Pay pal only, if you want to mail a check get a rate from me first.)

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I usually cut an extra half inch or so before shipping to allow for ends that won't be perfect.

Mokume Gane Poly clay buttons

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 19:28:50 -0500

$4.00
This is a set of six very attractive buttons made in the mokume gane style.

Mokume gane is an ancient technique of metal working where layers of metal are fused together, embossed and worked to imitate the look of burl wood.
Well the technique has been adopted by polymer clay artists for some time now.

I have attempted this technique many times with dismal results. This is the first time I really like what I came up with.

I used several metallic clays for this. Metallic coppers, gold, a hint of green, some pearl clay and a bit of translucent. There is also a bit of gold leaf fused into the layers.
The resulting block of clay can be sliced and applied to all sorts of objects.
Coming very soon I have beads, pens, (which will go on my main site) and more.
Convo me if you want to see all the matching items together.

These buttons have been tumble sanded, and hand buffed. They would look even better if glazed but I do not glaze any of my buttons as I don't know how they will handle washing.

I made a full set and drilled button holes here.
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22547408
These two were noticeably larger than the rest. All of my button sets will have some variation in size but these two were just large enough to not be included in that set.
So... I put wire shanks on the back. Aside from that they would match the other set perfectly.
The button shanks are baked right into the clay. Look at the extra image, the back side isn't pretty but it is strong.

Polymer clay buttons can be washed, it's recommended that garments be turned inside out to keep the button from banging into the machine.
And do not dry clean.

Cats eye buttons

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 19:28:50 -0500

$1.50
This pair of buttons was a prototype I made for someone who posted in the forums here looking for large buttons to be used on sock puppets. I made a round pair he asked for, then thought, "eyes" and made this cats eye shape pair.
Though he liked them ok, I can't meet his price expectations. Hand made just can't beat made in china factory stuff. Plus he would have been international shipping, just not cost effective.

So... here they are. Since they are already made, I'm not charging much for these. Barely enough to pay for the clay.
Get them while you can...
This WOULD be an adorable pair for use on puppets and such.

Polymer clay is perfectly washer safe. It's recommended that you turn garments inside out.
And if this is used on a toy or puppet, might be a good idea to pull a sock over it, or wash it in a net bag like what they use for delicates. This is just to keep the button from banging into the machine.

And do NOT dry clean poly clay.

set of basket weave beads

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 19:28:50 -0500

$9.00
This is a nice set of two shape beads.
7 Pillow beads, and 6 drum shape beads.
(the two play so nice together.)

There is enough right here to make a nice bracelet and have left overs. Or add some more beads and make a much longer string. It's up to you.

These beads are made from one of my own polymer clay canes. Then they are tumble sanded, hand buffed, and this set was given a coat of varathane for that glass hard shine.

Look at the extra images for size.

Please note, I hand form each bead. I do try and keep a set uniform but there will be variation in size and shape from bead to bead. Please look over the images closely and ask questions if you have any.

Thanks for looking

Festive dark green feather cane reduced down to mini size for nail artists or other miniature makers.

Feather canes will measure approx. 3-5 mm across at the widest part, and 10 mm or slightly longer from base to tip. This is about as small as my fat fingers can get it.
All my mini canes are cut to 3" lengths. (And always cut a little longer.)

Note; I'm including an image of the cane in it's full size to show detail better.
Also, this dark green cane goes really well with the dark red one. The two make a very nice pair. I only have one of each available. get it while you can.

I have no idea how you finger nail artists use these. I only started reducing canes this small after someone asked. I have heard slices can be used raw with no baking though I don't know how.
And some nail art sites pre-bake the entire cane before slicing.
(I'm more than happy to do that for you before shipping, just ask me in the notes to seller to bake it.)

Use;
Anyone can use polymer clay canes.
Slice with a thin blade, either one made for clay or an exacto will work, slice off sections.
If the clay squishes, pop it in the freezer for a few minutes to stiffen it up making it easier to slice.
Quarter inch thick pieces make nice charms for jewelry, buttons or as scrap book pieces.
Paper thin slices work as a veneer on any surface that can take baking.
(Look at some of my eggs for this technique.)

Bake at 265f for a half hour to cure.

I put a web page together with every cane I have made so far. (Full size versions, no nail art there. All my canes can be reduced to mini size though. Just ask.)

If you see something there not on my etsy shop for sale, by all means let me know.
IF I made it once, I can make it again..... (Well usually. Depends which one.)

Festive dark red mini nail art size clay cane

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 10:38:32 -0500

$3.00
Festive dark red feather cane reduced down to mini size for nail artists or other miniature makers.

Feather canes will measure approx. 3-5 mm across at the widest part, and 10 mm or slightly longer from base to tip. This is about as small as my fat fingers can get it.
All my mini canes are cut to 3" lengths. (And always cut a little longer.)

Note; I'm including an image of the cane in it's full size to show detail better.
Also, this dark red cane goes really well with the dark green one. The two make a very nice pair. I only have one of each available. get it while you can.

Dark Christmas Plaid polymer clay cane

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 09:48:09 -0500

$6.00
This is a very rich elegant color combination. And would be perfect for Christmas projects.
Actually, this would be good any time of year.

Now in the photo, you may see what looks like dust. It's actually sparkle. There is just a tiny touch of glitter clay in the mix. Mostly in the darkest green part. Unfortunately sparkle photographs like dust. It's not.

I used some of this cane on a ball point pen, as soon as I can get descent photos of that I'll list it on my other shop. Meanwhile, I have several pens listed in my other shop.
http://www.etsy.com/shop/artmakersworlds
Just click on "home items" to give you ideas on what you might do with this cane.
Anything that can be put in a 260F oven can be covered with clay.

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I always cut longer than that to allow for ends that won't be perfect.
(Unless noted in the description)

Look at the extra images for one of this cane next to a coin for diameter.

Use;
Slice with a thin blade, either one made for clay or an exacto will work, slice off sections.
If the clay squishes, pop it in the freezer for a few minutes to stiffen it up making it easier to slice.
Quarter inch thick pieces make nice charms for jewelry, or as scrap book pieces.
Paper thin slices work as a veneer on any surface that can take baking.

Bake at 265f for a half hour to cure. (That's a half hour per quarter inch. Really thin slices can do with less. You can always bake twice, or at a lower temp for a longer period of time but don't over bake.)
Cured clay can be painted, drilled, sanded, varnished, or just left as is.

I put a web page together with every cane I have made so far.

Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This one is done in shades of peach, reds, and browns.

I have a new love. This bargello pattern is just SO much fun to make.
Count on more of these being added often
There is no way to make a lot of this at a time. What you see in the extra image, the one with the stack is it. So get yours while you can.

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I will cut MORE than 2" (A quarter inch at least,) to allow for some distortion during packing.

Bulk orders are welcome. Contact me for info.

Pink Pansy cane

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:18:14 -0500

$6.00
Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.

Pink pansies.
And rather than wrap this in translucent, I choose to wrap in the same color as the center color of the flower. WIth some creative shaping before cutting, or shape your slices after cutting, you can separate the petals a bit. Feel free to ask me for tips.

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I usually cut an extra half inch or so before shipping to allow for ends that won't be perfect.

Goofy annoying cane REDUCED

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:18:14 -0500

$4.00
Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.

>>> Only TWO pieces left. <<<
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AGH! Story to this one.
These bargello canes seem to be a hit. BUT I can only make small amounts at a time. So... I had the brilliant idea on how I might make a larger amount. Added an extra set of pattern lines here making the cane about a third larger.

Well... I really have no clue how... but the insides of this cane are goofy.
Always the ends are a lost cause. But after I chopped off an inch, then two, then a few more.... finally I cut the cane in half. Cut pieces from the center out, and I just don't get it. Each and every piece looks like an end piece. The design somehow is doing wanky things all through this cane.

Please.... LOOK at both this main picture, AND the second one. I turned the stack as they sit around so you can see the front and the back.
The top two pieces are as close to being ok as it gets. And I'll sell those first, when they are gone I'll edit this and say so.

The bottom row? Well... one end looks right, the other? Huh???

These will still make beautiful beads, buttons, and all sorts of single items. (And I'll be making a bunch, I have quite a bit of this I'll be using myself.)

About the only thing these are not good for is covering anything with a uniform pattern.

So.... if you want some of my mystery goof ball cane? I'm slashing the price in half.
Only 4.00 a piece. And these are a bit chunkier than my other bargello canes. The amount of clay alone makes this a deal.

And no, I'll not be trying this again. Stick to what works.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Size; I cut my canes in "two inch" lengths. But... I always will cut longer. Usually an extra quarter inch at least to account for ends that may not be perfect after shipping.
please look at the last image shot next to a penny for diameter,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use;
Anyone can use polymer clay canes.
Slice with a thin blade, either one made for clay or an exacto will work, slice off sections.

Purple and magenta Glitter feather clay cane

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:58:15 -0500

$6.00
Purple and a magenta purple blend with just a touch of glitter make up this festive feather cane.

Unfortunately glitter doesn't photograph at all. What looks like dust specks, or dirt, is actually sparkle. You can't see it until you move the cane in the light.
There isn't much, just enough to add a hint of bling.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh so many things you can make with feather canes.

All by themselves they make great charms. I have several pairs of earrings on my other shop. Here are just a few made with a previous cane to give you some ideas.

Scrappy mauve and green feather cane

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 11:48:05 -0500

$6.00
Another scrappy feather polymer clay cane, this one made up mostly of mauve and green with a yellow tip.

Very detailed, more than the pictures show.

Scrappy canes are made up of left over pieces of previous canes, usually end pieces. Bits that have just enough design in them that I hate to just blend it into one solid color.
By rolling up the left over and flattening (which is how the feathers are made) much of the fine detail is kept in tact making for a very lacy interesting design.

Scrap canes are always fun to make and VERY unique.
I could not duplicate this one if I tried.

Rainbow Feather polymer clay cane

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 11:46:30 -0500

$6.00
Here is another rainbow feather cane. Back by popular request.

Feather canes are very versatile. They can double as leaves, flowers, scales, wings. Or just decorative trim.

I'm including a little tutorial on how to cut these so they look more feather like. See the last extra image.

Also... if you need a larger piece, cut thick and flatten it between your fingers. This will enlarge the piece by as much as double.

Or... if you want smaller pieces, feather canes can be reduced. Not as easy as round or square canes, but it can be done. I put the pointy part between my thumb and fingers on each hand and pinch together, pinching thumb and fingers at the same time your pushing your two hands together. This will make the center bulge out a bit, then go along the cane and pinch the wide part together. Do this over and over until you reach the desired size.
Convo me if you need any help. I'm always glad to assist.

$9.50
I love making faux semi precious stones with polymer clay. But often I'm not trying to make a particular kind, I just end up with something cool.
I had to do quite a bit of searching to find one that this most resembles.
If you google "red jasper" and look under google images, I think this comes the closest.

I took several close up shots so you can see detail in the beads.
These were made by chopping up a mix of several reds, including a metallic one. Along with a bit of translucent red and translucent clear clay, and a tiny bit of gold leaf was added to the mix. Then beads are formed, smoothed, holes punched though and baked.

Next my beads are tumble sanded going through several grits just like real stones.
Finally they are each hand buffed and given a few coats of clear varathane.

This set has 16 fairly good size beads along with one curved tube shape focal bead.
There are almost enough beads in this string to be a necklace as is. Add some spacers or smaller beads and this could be quite a piece. (By the way, it looks terrific mixed with my faux pearls.)

I'd rather make beads than finished pieces but I'd love to see what these end up in.

Look at the extra shots, I even took one with these beads laid out on a bead stringing board so you can see exactly what your getting.

These are very nice. The pictures hardly do it justice.

pink kaleidoscope beads

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 10:28:26 -0500

$8.50
Made from one of my own polymer clay canes, this is a string of 15 med size beads.
There is a slight variation in size, I strung this set with the one slightly larger bead in the center. Check the picture against a ruler for exact size.

(Note, I have one large bead I'll offer separately as a focal bead.
Look for that.)

faux pearls

$8.50
Made entirely from polymer clay with a bit of pearl ex powder, these faux pearls are amazingly pretty. There is just a hint of pink tint to them. Very pretty indeed.

There are 17 beads on this string. There will be some variation in size though I tried to make them as uniform as possible.

Several shades of pinks, a tiny bit of yellow and some translucent makes a wonderful faux granite. Beads are then tumble sanded, and given a few coats of acrylic future polish for shine.

Watermelon cane

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 10:24:42 -0500

$6.00
Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.

Juicy watermelon.

Canes are sold in 2" long sections but I usually cut an extra half inch or so before shipping to allow for ends that won't be perfect.
(Unless noted in the description, a few canes are down to the last bit.)

Look at the extra images for one of this cane next to a coin for diameter.

Use;
Slice with a thin blade, either one made for clay or an exacto will work, slice off sections.
If the clay squishes, pop it in the freezer for a few minutes to stiffen it up making it easier to slice.
Quarter inch thick pieces make nice charms for jewelry, or as scrap book pieces.
Paper thin slices work as a veneer on any surface that can take baking.
(Look at some of my eggs for this technique.)

Bake at 265f for a half hour to cure. (That's a half hour per quarter inch. Really thin slices can do with less. You can always bake twice, or at a lower temp for a longer period of time but don't over bake.)
Cured clay can be painted, drilled, sanded, varnished, or just left as is.

NEW!!! I put a web page together with every cane I have made so far.
If you see something there not on my etsy shop for sale, by all means let me know.
IF I made it once, I can make it again.
