A Polymer Clay Tutorial: The 4 Day Millefiori Cane

This cane took me 4 days to get right, yes, 4 days. Basically, I wanted to replicate a cane I'd made years ago - a cane that came into being without a plan. Grab this and grab that, throw them together and I had a cane I really like. So, let's make it again. Easy, right? Not so, but I did it. Finally. After 4 days of cane making. Don't worry, you won't watch Days 1 - 3, just Day 4.

This cane is used in another class - Bug, Gnu, Jaguar class - a way to use canes you have on hand. I would have made the two tutorials one but a 4 hour tutorial seemed excessive!

So, hope you like this one, it was an interesting challenge for me. I have lots of this cane now! If you like it, please Like and Subscribe. I do appreciate that so much.

Cheers, Donna
