\"\"<\/a>I know a lot of you have probably already seen this but it\u2019s too amazing not to comment on. Julie Eakes<\/a> has been creating her incredible pointillism canes for quite a while,\u00a0although it has been a couple of years since she created one, but her process and the finished canes never fail to fascinate.<\/p>\n

This one, \u201cSoul of the Rose” cane, is the most recent\u00a0addition to her fabulous cane imagery portfolio. If you go to her Facebook page and go back to April 5 and scroll up to recent posts, you can see her process throughout the weeks that it took her to put this together.\u00a0She mixed 77 colors for this, extruding each with a square and painstakingly put them together into 56 block canes.\u00a0The complete cane before reduction was 6.5\u201d x 8\u201d x 2\u201d and weighed 5 pounds. She then reduced it by sections and took a few slices off as she went so she\u2019ll have cane images at different sizes which is what you\u2019re seeing here.<\/p>\n

Her cane reduction is probably not quite what you would think either. She uses a few different methods and shares her process of reduction in a video that you can find here.<\/a>\u00a0Don’t forget to drop by her Facebook<\/a> page or Instagram<\/a> account for the full story of this piece.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
