One of my first attempts at a polymer clay egg made with a cane. Canes were not really something I had tried before joining the 2016 Polymer Clay Challenge (online through facebook). I must say there are some great clay artists in that group. That inspired me to try something new. I learned a few things, 1) it is easier to smooth the clay before curing than sanding it smooth after curing, 2) sandpaper leaves scratches, and the show up. LOL. But it is a technique for eggs that I really love. So while this is not a great egg, it is a beginning. (lower image).
I feel better about the canes and eggs I make two years later, but still learning.
