A departure from Sculpture

Though not a departure from Polymer clay. This is my first semi-serious creation with a cane. A Cane is a cylinder (in general) of clay that has some pattern running through it. In this case, there are two canes, a rose cane and a leaf cane, you can reduce them in size, but keep the detail, which is why there are two or three colors worth here, and the clay was mixed with translucent, so you can see through it when there is a candle in the bowl.

It looks better when lit and in a dim room than when seen in daylight, for a couple of reasons, not the least of which being that the boundaries between the clay are quite visible. But it's only my first attempt.

Those bowls are gorgeous. It was really fun to get to see your stuff in real life after having seen pictures. I was impressed... with your clay work and Megan's knitting, you guys could get a nice little cottage industry going if you wanted to.
