Lynn's Coloring Book Canes

On the third day at CFCF 2017, I was delighted to spend the day in a new workshop by Lynne Ann Schwarzenberg.  In her usual creative fashion, Lynne Ann has developed a way to bring the adult coloring book concept into polymer caning.  We had an excellent time making a "coloring book cane" that looked quite complex when we were finished.  After baking pieces made from the canes, Lynne Ann showed us how to color them, giving the pieces a whole different look.  This is one of her latest ideas and I hope she brings this workshop to other locations.  If you get a chance to take a class with her, be sure to sign up!
The photo to the right shows three pieces made from the canes I developed based on Lynne Ann's instructions.  The butterfly and flower petal pieces I left just as the black and white canes looked after baking.  The piece at the top of the photo shows a mirror image of the cane that I colorized after baking.  Great concept and great fun!
