Was fairly pleased. Distorted the flower pattern a bit much when rolling the final cane, probably could have worked some of the clay a bit more first to make it more malleable. And then distorted some of the cane slices when pressing them onto the tube.
2nd picture is the cane not fully rolled out, and another tube baked and ready to turn. I had a couple of blanks where the clay section didn't seem to seamlessly blend together. Not sure how to describe it, but if you're familiar with injection molding they're like "flow lines."
Overall, successful enough to try some more.
