Welcome to my collection of every polymer clay cane I ever made.

Arranged by type.

To purchase polymer clay cane pieces for your own creations, visit
My NEW SECOND Etsy Store just for canes, buttons and beads. at ArtmakersWorldsAlpha.etsy.com

Of course many of the ones on this page will be sold out. Contact me if there is one you really want. I made it once, I can probably make it again.

To Use; ANYONE can use polymer clay canes. With a straight blade, half a razor blade will work, or a long exacto knife, or better yet, buy a tissue blade specially made for polymer clay.
Slice off a piece. Place on a tile, or you can use a tin foil covered cookie sheet. Ceramic tiles can be had at any home improvement store though and work great for clay.
Bake in your oven at 265f for 30 min per quarter inch. (So if you slice thin, less baking time is needed. You can always bake again.)
That's it! The clay cures to a nice easy to work with plastic. Drill a hole and make jewelry. Slice thicker pieces and a hole can be drilled through from side to side for stringing.
OR... you can apply very thin slices to any surface that can take baking, smooth with a roller to form a veneer, and bake. Visit my etsy shop and look at the Eggs Many examples of clay covered eggs there using some of the canes on this page.

Custom Requests
Match this bead I LOVE requests for special canes.
For this one, a customer of mine asked for a cane that matches the beads in this photo. She makes spindles for spinning wheels and wanted to use polymer clay to add weight.
Consider this one a first draft. I wanted longer flower petals just as in the bead, but ran of yellow half way into this. So... more coming eventually.
I got the color down though didn't I?
Those beads can be found at this etsy shop. PalomaAntigua.etsy.com

Mokume Gane blocks of raw clay.
"Mokume Gane" is a term taken from metal workers who fuse multiple sheets of metals together, distress them, pound, hammer, and when smoothed the resulting pattern resembles burl wood.
The technique can be applied to polymer clay. Many layers of clay are rolled very thin through a pasta machine. Pearl clays, translucent clays, some opaque clays, pearl powders, and even gold leaf are included in the stack. Balls of clay are made with these stacks, layers of all these clay are wrapped around the balls. All this gets compressed further and finally, when slices are taken from the block, the result is very attractive and resembles the pattern of burl wood. (though much more colorful.) Faux stones or faux abalone can be made this way as well. Baked sheets from the block then cut into little chips make fantastic mosaic pieces. OH so many things you can do with this.

Just started adding cane size sticks. If the big blocks don't sell, I will reduce those to smaller sizes too.

Find this and more on my Etsy supplies shop.
