    Default Green Polymer Flowers

    This one is the result of a commission from someone who saw the last one I posted, whose favourite colour is green.

    No, she buys the canes. At the moment our lives are far too busy for her to learn the cane making.

    Thanks Peter, your words mean a lot.

    The photos this pen and the last, I have used a circular pol. filter on the lens. I think it has made a positive difference to my photos.
    I also have some linear polarising film that I intend to use over my diffusers in my light box.
    It looks like I will have to change my lights over to LEDs though, as the tungsten lights generate too much heat, during my tests, the diffuser started to melt and the pol. film started to distort, so I have put that away for now.

    I got my delivery of 5 canes for different butterflys (eg https://www.etsy.com/au/transaction/1049822507), from Elaine at Tooaquarius on Etsy from Canada today, to add to my collection of raw canes. Beautiful stuff, can't wait to have a go with them.

    Good one Neil, can't wait to see what you do with them.
    That green butterfly looks great, did you get one of those ?
    The people that make these canes are very talented.

    Absolutely. I thought of making my own, but I thought why bother, so many available and it would take me years.

    Wow...
    That's a little more complicated than I though....although it might be a idea to produce them in groups to control the cost and time.
    Now to see if there is a market here locally for them...teachers, nurses, professionals who use pens a lot, plus the Christmas buyers.
    Might also be a way to interest my youngest daughter in this stuff.
