| Hi, I'm Ray's wife Cathy (a.k.a.
CHarm), years ago I fell in love with the intricate Millefiori
designs I saw on 1845-1865 paperweights and decided to make my own
“canes” (or "rods") out of polymer clay. Millefiori means “1000 flowers” …
Similar to the Venetian Millefiori technique with glass I take raw
polymer clay and design my flowers and leaves into what’s called
“canes” from the clay. From my cane work I then take thin slices off
the canes and apply those wee tiny slices onto my piece, then it’s
baked, sanded several times and then buffed to a soft sheen that I
like then finally a protective coat of baked on sealer is applied. Because each of my pieces are unique and original and I'm lucky to have a great turnover in items, I prefer to sell my finished pieces in my shop at Etsy. I sell my raw cane work in my store on Ebay C Harm Polymer Clay and Art . Along with other polymer clay artists like Donna Kato, Judy Belcher and so many more, I also have step by step lessons on caning available. |

“Blends to Beauties” is a new
tutorial where
I’ll show you the techniques I use to design and create all seven of
these gorgeous Millefiori polymer clay canes from only three fan
fold blends. We’ll start off with creating three beautiful fan fold
blends then we‘ll create a few component canes that we‘ll use to
design each of these seven Millefiori canes (4 floral canes and 3
leaf canes). No matter whether you’re a beginner who has worked with
caning a little bit or if you’re an advance caner looking for a new
technique to create quite a few unique designs, I think you‘ll have
fun using this tutorial. The 19 page tutorial is packed with 86
detail color photos that guide you along each cane, plus my “Helpful
Hints Page” is included too! |
