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.
