This is a technique tutorial. It does not show you how to make a finished piece of jewelry. Instead it provides step by step instructions (with photos) for making what is often called a Jacob's Ladder cane plus three of Jan Geisen's variations of the technique.  It is the technique that Julie Picarello touched on in her book Patterns in Polymer, and calls Dragon's Tail.

In addition to the step by step instructions, there is a list of fifteen other variations to try. Three of these variations include photographs. Also included is a gallery of thirteen jewelry pieces Jan created from cane slices created in this tutorial. These jewelry pieces also include short explanations about how they were made.

The tutorial also includes a section on how to use the slices. There are six ideas to experiment with, to create jewelry in your own style.

It is an expanded version of the tutorial I wrote for the premier issue of the new polymer clay magazine, From Polymer to Art, that is being published in the Netherlands. That issue has sold out and the publisher has given permission for me to sell it.

It outlines the steps for creating the patterned sheet used for the pendant and earrings shown in the photos. The tutorial is 4 pages long, with 9 steps and 11 photographs

This expanded version of the tutorial includes more examples, with explanations, of jewelry pieces I made from the sheet of crackled clay I created for the tutorial. There are 4 additional pages of design ideas, and photographs with explanations, for 7 additional pieces of jewelry that I made using the patterned clay sheet from the tutorial.
