Oh yes we CANE do it!



Here's another challenge for February.
Theme called "iCANE Do It!"

What does it mean "cane"?

"Cane-working is a technique that was originally used in glass working for making complex designs. A cane is a log or cylinder of clay that has a design running throughout it, so each slice of the cane-the-cross-section-contains the design. You can make a large design that easy to handle and then reduce the size of the cane by pressing or rolling it so the cane becomes longer and thinner and the design becomes tiny and delicate, because of the ductility of the clay, the design stays intact no matter how small you make it."
