New Slimelines~Millefiori Polymer Clay

[Toni]

I truly love to work with millefiori canes and Pens. The colors are bright and vibrant!! So Unique each and every one of them even if they have the same flowers they cant be replicated. They are like my canvas, creating them gives me happiness, I would rather be in the USA

They have not been listed on Etsy yet, if you are interested please contact me. Workinforwood gets first pick!!


Hope you arent getting tired of seeing my pens!!

 

[Kaspar]

Oh yeah! I like how you're mixing up the flower colors on a couple of them. And those satin finish component sets work well with the Canes.

Do you do anything besides florals? Also, how do you avoid distortion when you work the canes down to get a size that will fit the pens?

 

[Dustygoose]

ore beautiful pens Toni. What's the shipping to the US? The LOML might want one

 

[BRobbins629]

Truly the work of an artist. Keep em coming.

 

[Toni]

Kasper~the canes are reduced to a diameter that I want to work with, hard to explain and the distortion only occurs when the slices arent thin enough, which takes a lot of practice. Yes I did mix up the colors this time, I was adventures I like the satin finish ALOT!!

Dustgoose~shipping to the US is $5.00, pens are $24.00. thank you for the complement

 

[Kaspar]

I want that one at the bottom if workingforwood hasn't gotten asked for it already. (Also, you have some PMs.)

 

[Toni]

Kasper I thought you said second from the bottom...You would like the purple/pink one?

 

[Kaspar]

Kasper I thought you said second from the bottom...You would like the purple/pink one?

Yes, that's the one.

I would imagine there is the tiniest bit of distortion wrapping the cane pieces around the tubes?

 

[lwalden]

[Toni]

umm...no distortion that I am aware of..sorry:biggrin:

[jdmyers4]

Just a cotton-pickin'-minute here - Toni, you're selling pens to pen-turners? TO PEN-TURNERS!!!

I saw a riot of color on the front page... Wowa! What's this?!... Wow - look at THOSE pens! Never seen anything like them. Hmmm... I wonder if she would sell one of those guys to me? Hmmm... I wonder how much they are? Hmmmm... I wonder if I have enough $$$ to buy one?

Toni - absolutely beautiful!!! Can I order one (maybe two) ... something like the middle one, the one with flowers and butterflies?

John

 

[Pioneerpens]

lol, John
It is kind of ironic that she is selling all these pens to penturners.
Dang Toni, that is gooood! Pen turners ARE a discriminating bunch ya know!

 

[Toni]

John you are way tooo much!! I hope you are done wondering about those pens now! To think I didnt join last year because I was intimadated by you guys and you are so sweet and buy girlie pens, who would have thought? Honestly thank you so much for your complements. They do make a pretty picture, so colorful.. I have a few more...LOL

Jennifer~If Pen turners are a discriminating bunch than whats wrong with everyone:biggrin: LOL

 

[Pioneerpens]

Must be the NZ moon

 

[Toni]

yes it must be the New Zealand moon and being from a foreign land how exciting better make the most of it while I am here..

 

[johnnycnc]

Beautiful work, Toni. I'm amazed at the colors and patterns!

 

[Glass Scratcher]

It has been a long time since something made me say- WoW!

 

[Dustygoose]

Woah, Front page already. You go girl

 

[cnirenberg]

Congrats on the cover pic! Those are truly outstanding.

 

[creativewriting]

Toni, Lets not rub it in:beat-up:!

 

[wood-of-1kind]

Toni, those are wonderful and colourful designs. Beautiful. As most will know,
MILLEFIORE is Italian translated for "thousand flowers".

 

[daveeisler]

Toni, they are very beautiful, could you explain just what the application is, I am not following exactlly, is it hand painted on a barrel or a label of some kind, or clay you have painted, thanks Dave

 

[creativewriting]

Dave I am going to jump in for Toni since she is in such high demand. She can correct me later (which she will get way to much joy out of doing):wink:

There is no painting. "MILLEFIORE" is actually a glass working technique that is used by polymer clay artist. The clay is stacked and manipulated to make a large pattern or picture. This pattern is then reduce in size by rolling and stretching. Thin cross slices then reveal the inner magic and show the intricate design. These paper thin slices are then added to the pen tube to make the designs you see in Toni's pens. Each color you see is a different color of clay.

Confused???? There are many sites out there that explain the technique and show examples. Look for Millefiore polymer canes and you should find a bunch of information.

Those really are beautiful. Congrats on the front page!
