Polymer Clay Scrap Technique: Stroppel Cane

This is a great leftover technique that was invented by Alice Stroppel for using up those polymer clay leftovers. It has a really cool rock slab effect and will look very different each time you make it.
Alice Stroppel’s original technique was done using cane ends, but you can use any leftovers you want. The best effect does seem to come from the cane ends though. So we'll use them for this tutorial.

I used this idea once to make a swirl or spiral cane. I took a stroppel cane, reduced it to have thin layers, and rolled it into kind of a jelly roll, with flatter ends to create a spiral. It was quite satisfying. Just a thought on future tutorial ideas :)

[@justsoneatferdinand6762]

That are all beautiful I would love to see a combine pendant with the translucent and the one you've just made.

This is an interesting option with leftovers...

Great tutorial Jessama ... I've watched a few of your tuts, and have a question. What's the best way to store canes like this. How long are they good for? (before too hard) How do you then use them in beads? I'm fairly new to PC and canes really fascinate me. Thank you Kent

[@JessamaTutorials]

I like to store them in compatible plastic bags. They keep for around a year depending on how soft your clay was to start with. Here are some tutorials on how I use my canes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/paDOfHehmp5rr6M kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6a3oqVml7iil9k

[@mendezee2422]

Kent mosley I keep my canes in compartment containers. One cane I have in there that’s well over a year old and it’s still durable.

[@chasing_happiness]

It almost looks like stained glass. I love the blue. It puts me in mind of "The Starry Night" by Van Gogh. Have you ever tried to recreate a work like that in polymer clay?

[@JessamaTutorials]

No I haven't tried to recreate a work like that yet. I do plan to, but I don't feel that I'm quite ready for that yet. I do have a tutorial that was inspired by The Starry Night Painting though. www.jessamatutorials.com/polymer-clay-technique-2.html

[@1Sweetness]

I used this cane also..is there any way you can make a Christmas cane?

[@JessamaTutorials]

It's a bit to near Christmas and my schedule is packed. Sorry.
