We&#8217;ll chat a bit more about some of the contributors and their art work, as well as add some depth to the stories and concepts you&#8217;ll be reading about if you bought the issue (and if you don&#8217;t have it or don&#8217;t have it coming, you can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thepolymerarts.com\/Subscribe.html\" target=\"_blank\">get your copy on our website<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>For this fall 2014 issue, Deb Hart wrote what is probably the most ambitious article we&#8217;ve published to date. &#8220;Caning by Numbers: Complex Cane Design&#8221;\u00a0 has to do with canes and math. It&#8217;s rather intense, but we are already receiving some rave reports from readers who are just so excited to have a controllable way to measure and create precise complex canes.<\/p>\n<p>The one thing we couldn&#8217;t do in this particular article was include more of Deb&#8217;s work so you could see her range beyond the owl cane that was used as the example for the concepts she teaches.<\/p>\n<p>Here is one amazing bracelet Deb created with a variety of brilliant complex cane images embedded in layers of translucent clay. I am not a very accomplished caning clayer, so I won&#8217;t pretend I know all that went into this, but what I do know is that the layering gives it an ethereal quality that is rather mesmerizing, not to mention how lost one might get just trying to take in all the detail.<\/p>\n<p>You can check out even more of Deb&#8217;s canes and other art work on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/rengalsa\/\" target=\"_blank\">her Flickr pages<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/rengalsa.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">her blog<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/rengalsa\" target=\"_blank\">her Etsy shop<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/debhart.weebly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">her website<\/a>.
