candice mathewson shows us how to make a whiteflower cane and then demonstrates her way to red
uce the monster cane – no ‘resting’ required. she uses her arms and legs and wears shorts to keep the clay clean. she also employs some ‘three point triangle action’ around the cane.
now that’s a cane! you go girl!

kathy gose posted an interesting new tutorial for an eyeball cane. the eyeballs are centerpieces for gose’s dragon eye beads, pictured here – she’s been fooling folks who thought they were glass.
make sure you read the tutorial all the way through. it is easy to follow; there are several photographs and a graph. i like the way she shapes the cane slice over a spoon to give it the proper 3d effect. better play nice, that thing really appears to be looking at you!

kathy gose makes monster totem canes, then reduces them to a size that is manageable and useful. gose reduces one of her canes in this video, set to michael jackson’s ‘beat it’. ummm….i don’t think i’ll be making a monster cane any time soon. i sure don’t have the upper body strength to beat it – looks like i’d lose a fight with the likes of one of them!

here’s a french twist on the russian matryoshka doll. you remember them, don’t you? the nesting dolls. i’d like to see what the artist does with this cane. i think maybe if she doesn’t reduce it too much it would be a good candidate for maureen carlson’s 3-d technique.
