Autumn Leaf Group: Here you'll find the step by step on two leaf canes. Seven other samples of leaves made along these same lines can be found on the Autumn Leaves Page. |
These went into the making of the Autumn
Leaf Jar using techniques from Flowers
and LEXX. Leaf Index: Just Leaves on the Com site. |
| Autumn Leaf Group | Autumn Leaf Group Pages: |
| Each group page has 5 pictures. | What you'll see on these pages. |
 |
1, When you're doing blends it's not necessary to totally mix the colors at this point. I left the orange as yellow, red and white like that on purpose so you can see it doesn't need premixing. |
 |
2, See how the orange ended up getting mixed as the orange and green got blended. Don't make extra work for yourself unless you're doing it just for fun. |
 |
3,
This particular cane
was fan folded. By that I mean, you zig zag the ribbon of blend so one color
is on one side of the cane and the other color is on the other side. I did a
green surround. Here it is stacked and sliced into sections.
Doing the chevron flip is an easy effect. You stack the sections of blended cane and then reduce to a square. Slice diagonally across the square and flip one side over. Instant Chevron. |
 |
4, This cane made into leaves. Other leaves are being attached to the beginning of the Autumn Leaf Jar. |
 |
5, More pictures of the Autumn Leaf Jar and the start of another cane using the bulls eye with a sandwich surround sheet. |
 |
6, Making a leaf cane without the chevron flip. Wedges of clay blended bulls eyes as wedges, stacked, surrounded and reduced. |
 |
7, Completion of the non chevron leaf cane, it's finished look and continuing on the Autumn Leaf Jar. |
 |
8, Adding face the Kai face mold on the jar. Using a cane that was really disappointing for a leaf but made some interesting facial tribal markings on Kai. |
