And here is a shawl pin I made from the cane. I really love this new technique and this shows that when working with polymer clay, there really is no such thing as "scrap clay".

New Scrap Art
Alice Stroppel of Polymer Clay Etc., shared a fun way to use up scrap clay pieces by arranging it into what she calls the Stroppel cane. As soon as I saw it I couldn't wait to give it a try and I just happened to have a pile of cane scraps (lol!) on my table ready to use. It was tempting to use them all but I wanted to see what would happen if I used pieces only from a selected color pile and was happy with the results.
It's wonderful Carolyn, and thanks for the post, I'm having the best time seeing everyone's Stroppel canes.

Thanks Alice and thanks again for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI have always refused to call it "Scrap" clay. I call them "Remnants" In my head scrap gets thrown away, but remnants are for playing with!

That is an excellent point since as a sewer I had remnants that were precious and I saved where the scrap was garbage. I think I will try and call it remnant from now on! lol!
ReplyDeleteit´s magnific!!!!^^
ReplyDeleteJust starting out with colored clay, I imagine there'll be lots of Stoppel cane hanging around soon! This is beautiful work! Thanks for sharing.
