| Feather flower canes are a good
way to use up left overs. Make the feather insert by stacking
3 or more color combinations. Take slice from the stack along
the length and insert each slice in a block of solid color (or
a mix). Reduce, cut in half, put halves together so that there
are now six inserts (go counter clockwise through diagram on
right). Continue this process until the feather looks right to
you. Add to the cane as you wish. Carefully shape final cane.You
can slice these thinly to make dangle beads. See some of my examples
of canes underconstruction or of finished beads assembled into
jewelry. |
