Just tried making a little “brighter” canes for this egg, meaning not using so much black between the pieces of the cane. The yellow and red were more prominent. I will try again, as always. But I did end up understanding two things, 1 sometimes it is good to let the cane rest before using it, and 2, i think i like a firmer polymer clay, Premo is too soft, Fimo soft seems too soft, I am going to investigate a stiffer clay for canes.
