Really pretty. Extruder canes are so easy & they look so cool & complicated. Love your colors.

[@laurajschiller]

Thank you my darling, Melly!! I hope you are doing well!! And yeah, the extruder canes are very cool and because they are so easy, even someone who has never played in polymer clay could do this. I think that is one of the reasons why I like this medium so much...Also, thank you for your kind compliment on my color choices...sometimes color can be a make or break for a project. Sending you my biggest hugs!! :)

[@debbeechy]

Now I'm wondering if I have a triangle extruder piece. lol

[@laurajschiller]

Oh boy...did I open Pandoras box?!! LOLOLOL!! Yeah, you might have to think about that extruder piece. Sending you my big hugs, Miss Deb!! :)

[@sch728]

Is it a bad sign if I can’t even get the cubes to work? 😂

[@laurajschiller]

LOLOL!! No, it's not. But, don't give up hope if you get frustrated. There is always a way to make it work. If you are having a problem with that...check the softness of your clay. If it is too soft, it can make it harder for the triangles keep their form. In that case, throw in some harder clay to your soft stuff and work that in or leeching and the latter is not my favorite method...but sometimes necessary. I hope maybe that I have helped a little. Sending you my big hugs! :)
