Checkerboard Cane
By Amy Koranek

The Checkerboard Cane looks great in two colors which contrast each other. Try this cane using a light and a dark color or two colors which are opposites.

 

What you'll need:

1 oz. each of Sculpey III in two colors - I used Mint and Turquoise
knife for sectioning clay
baby wipes for clean up
clay roller or glass jar

 

1. Condition and shape each color into a fat rod. Remember to work from light to dark and also to clean your hands and work surface between colors.

2. Refer to Specklecane instructions #6-8 to change your circle rods into square rods. Make your square rods equal in diameter.

3. Press the two colors side by side and roll over the top of them to make sure they are level with each other. Cut the two-colored rod into two equal lengths.

4. Group the two sections together with the colors alternating in checkerboard fashion. Press them firmly together. Refer to Speckle Cane instructions #7 and #8 to reduce the cane to 1" square. Trim the ends and divide the cane into four equal sections.

5. Group the four sections together again in checkerboard fashion. Reduce again until the cane is 1" in across. Set the cane aside to firm while you make your next cane.
