The Jubilee Cane:A Kaleidoscopic Repeating Pattern in Polymer

Condition - Very Good
The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and functions properly. Item may arrive with damaged packaging or be repackaged. It may be marked, have identifying markings on it, or have minor cosmetic damage. It may also be missing some parts/accessories or bundled items.

The Jubilee Cane:A Kaleidoscopic Repeating Pattern in Polymer Clay

The Jubilee Cane takes three main colors and combines them with white, black, and each other to create a complex tapestry of color. Clever reduction and recombination of the original cylindrical cane component results in a rectangular piece, perfect for tiling into a large sheet of repeating kaleidoscopic pattern. If you are comfortable with the Skinner blend technique and can reduce and re-assemble millefiori canes, you can do this project.

REQUIRED SKILLS

The project is geared towards those with some experience in the millefiori technique. If you have these skills:

Skinner Blend
Assembling Canes
Reducing Canes

then you can do this.

TOOLS AND MATERIALS

You will need one package each of three main colors. I used Premo! Sculpey in :

Denim
Wasabi
Burnt Sienna

Feel free to substitute your own favorite colors. Try to choose fairly vibrant colors, as all of the color-mixing we will be doing will tone them down somewhat.
You will also need a package of White and a package of Black.

Work surface, such as a marble tile, ceramic tile, or plexiglass.
Pasta machine
Clay blade
3-inch square cutter (optional)
