If you haven't seen Yonat Dascalu's work, please take a moment to look.  Yonat is a professional polymer clay cane artist who does beautiful work.  Her latest work is a beautiful fabric cane.

We have also teamed up to give everyone a look at Idit Zoota's Play-Doh Cane Reducing Technique.  If you haven't tried it, take a look at the video and give the technique a try.  Idit Zoota has come up with a wonderful idea for reducing canes that solves the problem of getting rid of that pesky background around your flowers and other shaped canes and Yonat demonstrates it.  You can download and print the tutorial after you watch the video.  That way you can take it to your studio and play without having to try to remember what you saw in the video.
