I really had not made a polymer clay cane until this year. I didn’t fully comprehend the amount of clay that could be used to make the very detailed canes that are found commercially. I saw an image online and about fainted – this older gentleman (I think it was a photo from somewhere in Germany) had more clay rolled into a cane than I could probably have lifted. It was an enormous, several foot long, and several inches in diameter log. Purchasing clay from some retail store it would have amounted to several hundred dollars in Fimo or other. An investment that would not likely be made by a kitchen-table-crafter such as myself. Anyway, this egg, which I actually kind of like, was made of the tips and ends of canes that I had left over.
