Catty Canes
three little kitties with candy cane legs
Two new polymer clay and chicken eggs decorated
It is fun to think up new styles, and these new eggs might work, and might not (haha). There is a multi-cane background which was cured and sanded, then a layered dimensional bunch of flowers of different types were applied, and the egg was cured again. I guess i could have antiqued the flowers and put a shadow under the dimensional parts. I might still do that. To purchase these (custom made similar, never identical) here is a link for the orange daisy egg to the store. And here is a link to the red and yellow daisy egg.
Decorated ostrich egg and floral polymer clay canes
This woman is a polymer clay sensation. Check out her website.
That said, I am going to make my next ostrich egg with high texture and lots of antiquing. But the egg below is kind of smooth and interesting. I especially like the cane with the alternating black and white areas. Each side is different and that to me makes it less boring. I like the dots, go figure. Below is the best of the three pix. To purchase these (custom made similar, never identical) here is a link to the store.
Wallpaper floral egg and dots
This tiny flower and leaves polymer clay cane decorated egg can be made to your order. Your flower petals in the flower cane custom decorated egg. I think this is a fun style of decorated egg.
A little snake egg
I used a recipe for cornstarch and baking soda clay to create an egg shape (small) and wanted to try the method of dissolving out the base egg after the p olymer clay was cured. I found it very difficult to dissolve out the base clay using a very small hole in the bottom of this one inch egg…. and in the process, broke it into several pieces…. but love’s labor NOT lost, it looked like something could be created (hence this little snake) that would emerge from the broken egg. A little face only a mother snake could love (LOL).
The tiny broken egg itself I patched with liquid polymer clay (one can still see a tiny seam), then used polymer clay to weight the bottom of the egg to balance the weight of the snake. You can buy an egg like this HERE.
Orange and green flower and leaves decorated egg
It is interesting to me to see how long it has taken to really enjoy making polymer clay canes. I get ideas and they rarely come out as I intend them, but sometimes what I intend is less interesting than what ends up working out. Here is an orange and green floral decorated egg.
And from similar types of canes comes this egg.
Basal keratinocyte looking polymer clay cane egg: fun histology
After I made this egg with a cane made with alternating brown and cream spikes around the outside of the flower (which even had a dark center like the nucleus of a cell) I laughed at how this egg resembled an histological section parallel to the basal keratinocytes of the epidermis, each cell (each slice of the polymer clay cane) repleate with nuclei and little color bits for organelles surrounded by what looked to me like nice desmosomes, connecting each and every cell (cane slice). Haha, this inspires me to make more eggs from the patterns in bology. Purchase a similar egg made to order HERE.
Red black and white polymer clay decorated chicken eggs
Polymer clay decorated eggs made as keepsakes
This egg is mostly red and yellow with a flower cane pattern and rose petals embedded (these rose petals were from a funeral).
