I've been spending some time lately having a surf around the web for new techniques and ideas. There's loads of stuff out there which I can't wait to try out. Particularly building a cane that is more complex and moves away from the flower cane idea. I came across this butterfly wing construction, which on the surface seems surprisingly simple to build although requires a lot of building work. The basic technique of creating flattened bulls eye canes seems fairly manageable. The tip seems to be to just find a butterfly design that you like and use it as your model.
Butterflies have of late been a particularly popular jewellery design element for pendants, so this could be particularly useful cane to build. It also gives me ideas about building other picture based constructions using the clay.
