Rose canes


By chance I decided to make a horse charm from one of my large rose canes. It came out so well I decided to make some more.  Rose canes are super easy to make,  Fiona Abel-Smith has a great tutorial video.


I really like the darkest version. The colour blend is Premo white/blush/alizarin crimson

Here are some other things I made with rose canes

Fluorescent polymer clay

Like a lot of people new to polymer clay I started with a sample pack.  I was hooked pretty quickly and now have a large collection of Premo colours.  In my sample pack were two colours I just didn't think I would use, fluorescent pink and yellow...


I finally decided to experiment with them and I love the colours once they are blended.



I was really looking for something bright to put under a lace cane I made but the colours are quite nice on their own. The lace cane is a tutorial by Turtle Soup Beads here
