This beautiful collar by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/devart60\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mara Devescovi<\/a>, which is all Stroppel cane, certainly looks like the undulating water of a crystal clean ocean as you might see it on some tropical beach. Who would have thought that random cane morphing would emulate\u00a0in the way the movement of the water distorts the world beneath it. It really gets one thinking about a summer escape, I must say!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Mara goes by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/devart60\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dev&#8217;Art60 on Flickr   <\/a>where her progress in polymer art over\u00a0the\u00a0last decade can be followed and lots of great ideas can be found along the way. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div
