Here, I found a great online tutorial that uses the drama of graphical black patterns edged by white to pump up the color and pattern of scrap canes. It&#8217;s a beautifully simple <a href=\"http:\/\/pinklily.canalblog.com\/archives\/2015\/04\/06\/31841678.html\" target=\"_blank\">technique brought to us by Pinklily<\/a> of France. I decided to show you just the resultant sheets here and hope you&#8217;ll\u00a0go see\u00a0what can be made from them on <a href=\"http:\/\/pinklily.canalblog.com\/archives\/2015\/04\/06\/31841678.html\" target=\"_blank\">her blog post<\/a>. Because the options are too fun to miss I thought you might just get curious and click through.<\/p>\n<p>The instructions on here are in French and can&#8217;t be copied into Google translate, but I think the images are pretty self-explanatory. Although she uses canes for the background, you could really use any kind of pattern from marbling to leftover mokume to Stroppel canes. You could even keep it simple with a solid or Skinner blend background. The general effect will be the same.<\/p>\n<p>Pinklily is pretty generous with <a href=\"http:\/\/pinklily.canalblog.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">her tutorials on her blog,<\/a> so if you like this, take some time to wander about and see what other fund stuff she might have for you.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you like this blog, support The Polymer Arts projects with <a
