A Polymer Clay Millefiori Tutorial: The Palm Frond Cane

[@eileengavinlarsen4509]

Wow Donna, there's a real science to reducing a big cane like that, isn't there?! No wonder I always lose at least 3/4 of my cane to "scrap" (not kidding!). And upper body strength? Forget it! Valuable lessons here ... thank you so much! And oh, I really love the "painterly" effect of your leaves, really lovely. Makes me realize how much I over-blend early on in my canemaking.😊

You have such a gift for making extraordinarily beautiful pieces in polymer clay! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. ❤

[@RamoArt]

Those little creatures, bugs etc that you make from canes are really special.

[@DonnaKatoArt]

you know, the canes do give them another dimension, i think and such a good way to use canes! hugs, d

Thank you Donna I really enjoyed watching you make the frond cane. You make it look so easy. I am very new to polymer clay but I’m get all my supplies together and then I will start playing. You are a great teacher

[@willsshepherd2976]

I have collected a bunch of colours for some starry night canes, I reckon I could use this method to make ladders for my snakes and ladders board.

[@sherylwright5705]

Oooh...that was awesome...but that was a honkin big cane! I know you say you don't make big canes, but to me that is huge! lol Even if I don't get around to trying to make this for a long time, the information you give always teaches me something about working with clay. Thanks Donna!

[@DonnaKatoArt]

You know, it was big. I’m glad because I’ll have it for a while! 😊❤️🎉

[@evesmith2218]

[@deboday5490]

Donna - do either the Conditioning clay or the Blackout reduce the strength of the Kato Clay?

[@cindyjames3686]

Time for me to make some MORE bugs!!!... and a gnu!!!... and a jaguar!!! By the way, do you have the Bunny head tutorial???

[@DonnaKatoArt]
