Paper Scissors Stone is a pop up shop in the beautiful Quaker’s Friars shopping area in Bristol, UK, run by Made in Bristol.It has been open since Spring 2012 and is organised in volumes each with a fresh selection of talented artists & designers from CARA JANE: MY LOVELY NEW BAG! I must say I was delighted when it arrived, very quickly! It has leather handles which look very sturdy. The sides and the base are made from patent vinyl, I chose cream but there is a range of coloursavailable.
CARA JANE: LATEST JEWELLERY I am still busy making special things that I can't show you - yet. In the meantime here are a couple of new things I've made with some of the scraps from my secret project. CARA JANE: ELECTRIC ZEBRA FLOWER This was my thing a day for day 5 of February. You can see all the other things I have made each day in this flickr set.It has been quite hard to keep up as I have been ill, luckily some things were quite quick and some things were started and just needed finishing. CARA JANE: GIVING UP THE COKE CAN The first support (top row on the left) was a catering ring (supplied by the lovely Carol Blackburn at her Bangle workshop), lined with paper - oh I see I muddled up the bangles in the picture the middle bangle was the catering ring one - I can tell cause it's larger, and round. The middle support was just a paper lining. I formed the bangle on the coke can (which incidentally is filled with CARA JANE: LITTLE DRAGON So as I mentioned in my last blog post I treated myself to some books one of which was Christi Friesen's Dragon book. I made my first dragon, which is a largish pendant, with some left over bits of some of my other projects, thinking it might look interesting.

THURSDAY, 27 JUNE 2013 PAISLEY CAKE FORKS 2013 – USING OLD CANES. _(Posted on June 23, 2013 on my new blog www.carajane.co.uk/blog)_
Way back in March 2010 I made a set of Paisley cake forks – it was the first time I had attempted such a big and complex cane. I had a lot of fun and learnt a lot and had a fair bit of the cane left over due to a miscalculation and lack of experience (blog post about makingthe cane here
). Here’s
the cane after reduction (blog post about that here)
Polymer Clay Paisley cane made 2010 And here’s a picture of the cake forks I made in 2010 (blog post about making the cake forks here)
Paisley cake forks 2010 Earlier this year I was commissioned to make a pair of similar cake forks. Now I’ve just told you I had some cane left over – great! It’s over 3 years old so I was a little concerned about it but it worked very well. You may be interested to know this was Katopolyclay.
The bits of cane I had left have been stored in a polypropylene storage box (blog post here on storing clay ). I reduced bits of the cane to different sizes and used up most of the smaller bits for the cake forks. I mainly had bigger chunks of cane left which meant I had to reduce them to the smaller scale needed for the cake forks. To start with I tried to reduce it like I would a ‘fresh’ cane but the cane just cracked into 2 parts. So I slowed down.I held the cane in my hand for a while to warm the clay up and working it gently pinching it all round a little at a time I was able to reduce it without further problems. I then started making a decorated sheet  from the canes to wrap around the cake forks. Some bits of cane were the right size , didn’t need reducing, so I just sliced them – they sliced beautifully being rather firm after being sat for 3 years! I worked on a sheet of purple clay, covered it in cane slices and smoothed them in. Back in 2010 I had worked on small sections at a time and made a whole big sheet I cut parts from. Now I used scrap clay to work out what size I needed to cover the handle and just made a sheet that size. That way there was much less waste. I also just added all the cane slices at once as I know now they will all smooth in no problem. In 2010 I smoothed the slices by rolling them  now I burnish them which causes much less distortion. It all looked great until I tried to wrap it round the fork handle when massive cracks appeared. I realised they were in the unreduced canes and between the unreduced canes – they weren’t ‘sticky’ enough to fully join to the surrounding cane slices. The sheet was useless  I had to make a whole new sheet but luckily I did have plenty of left overs and I had only made a small sheet so hadn’t wasted too much cane or time! I got round the cracking problem  by holding the unreduced cane slices in my hand to warm them and then just manipulating them a bit so that although I didn’t really reduced them the clay softened. So I made a beautiful sheet of purple paisley patterned polymer  and used that to decorate the cake fork handle. I realised when I finished them just how much I have learnt in the past 3 years. The cane was exactly the same cane I had made but the end result was much nicer. I have a different method for wrapping the handle which means the join is not so obvious on the back – I didn’t take a photo of the back either time unfortunately but in 2010 there was an obvious seam up the back and in 2013 there isn’t. The quality of the finish was much better too, they were pretty  nice in 2010 but these 2013 cake forks are perfectly smooth and have a beautiful shine to them. Paisley Decorated Cake Forks 2013 Whilst my photo isn’t the most amazing photo I can see looking back at my old blog posts that my photos have come quite a long way since 2010! It is good to take stock and look at where you’ve come from. Go back and look at what you were doing 3, 5, 10 years ago! Look how much you have improved! Hard to see it when you work with the same materials day to day but easy to see when you jump back in time. I hope to enjoy looking back at this at some point in the future and seeing how  much further I have progressed! Posted by Cara Jane at 05:200 comments

THURSDAY, 23 MAY 2013 NEW RING BOWLS AND NEW BLOG I have a new blog over at my normal web address now - www.carajane.co.uk . I will continue to update this one for now but do feel free to come visit meover there.
I have been practising the intricate kaleidoscope cane I learnt on the workshop with Sarah Shriver recently. I have used some of them to make little polymer clay ring bowls. You may remember the one I made for my sisters birthday last year - you can see it here.

ABOUT ME
* Cara Jane
My name is Cara Jane Hayman and I live in Bristol UK My first polymer clay work, at age 7, was a tea set for my dolls. I have enjoyed it as a hobby since then but over the last few years it has grown from a hobby to a real passion! I have been lucky enough to attend creative workshops with many of the world’s finest polymer clay artists including Donna Kato, Christine Dumont and Carol Blackburn which has fuelled my passion even further. I am having a great time exploring many of the endless possibilities polymer clay offers. You can follow me on my journey and find my tips, tutorials and polymer clay creations at www.carajane.co.uk View my complete profile A SMALL SELECTION OF THE LATEST POSTS FROM SOME OF THE MANY BLOGS IFOLLOW
