Red for Thing A Day, Day 13

What do Atoms, Fireworks, Baskets and Streamers have in common? Good question? I can tell you the answer - they are the pictures that I see in my latest set of kaleidoscope canes.

I made these for the 13th day of the Polymer Clay Central "Thing A Day" challenge - since they are red maybe I should be saving them for tomorrow, Valentine's Day, but I can't wait.

I did these a little differently in that I used exactly 50% each of Kato clay and Premo clay. I was impressed with how well this worked, I didn't expect them to be as crisp as the others, but they are. They also reduced without any more waste than the previous canes. So there's a win-win, since I have a lot of Premo clay here. They slice great, too, so I'm quite happy with the combination.

Here they are, please click on the photos to enlarge them.









I can't wait to make more... back to the Claypen!!
