After all that blathering to you on Wednesday, I thought I\u2019d keep it simple today. Let\u2019s just enjoy some relatively minimal but beautiful canes to spark some ideas for your creative time this weekend.<\/p>\n

Spain\u2019s Pilar Rodr\u00edguez Dom\u00ednguez<\/a> creates lovely, dynamic flower petal canes. The soft but dense sets of radiating lines that dominate her designs help to create a sense of complexity with relatively few elements. I chose this one because you can see how much energy is created with the just these brushed-looking lines, three oval marks, and a vibrant burgundy red. \u00a0You don\u2019t need a lot of different stuff to create complexity and energy.<\/p>\n

She works similarly in almost all her canes although more commonly with highly contrasting colors to create finely controlled finished flower canes. Enjoy a good eyeful of color and pattern in her\u00a0Etsy shop<\/a>, \u00a0and on her\u00a0Instagram<\/a>,\u00a0Facebook,<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Flickr<\/a>\u00a0accounts.<\/p>\n

Also, since you all couldn’t click-through to see the work of\u00a0C\u00e9cile Bos<\/a>\u00a0last week,\u00a0as she went on vacation and shuttered her shop right after I drafted the blog on her work, take this opportunity to click-through to her website now<\/a> to see her delicately detailed pieces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
