Square tile scrap cane

Description

Raw polymer clay cane for your creations.

Another scrap cane, (I love making these.)
For this one, I used up some old pieces of fruit and leaf canes. But... the only one you can still make out are two tiny watermelons. All the rest got reduced so small, it looks more like fabric than tiny fruits.
I divided it into four boxes outlined in a mauve color. This one would work wonderfully as a veneer to cover just about anything.
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.
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.
