The Stroppel Cane

It's amazing how an exciting new technique can catch on fire among the polymer world.  Ever since Polymer Clay Daily featured Alice Stroppel's new caning technique a couple of days ago, just about every polymerista the world over has tried it out.

And that includes me! Which is something, because caning is not my thing.  But I do have a lot of old canes from my very early days, and I love to use up my scrap.  So here goes:

  2. I love what you did with this new technique! I guess I'm the only one who hasn't tried it yet. I'm having to much fun seeing what everyone else is doing with it. I just may have to give it a try...
