I've never noticed shrinkage either. However, I don't bake the clay. I've found that boiling the clay in water is easier and has far less of a chance for discoloring the clay than baking does.
You really cant glue the pc to the tube before baking the clay is soft. It doesnt always happen with the tubes if it does just ca it back onto the tube. At least that is what I have done and others that it has happened to
Thanks Toni! That has been the process I have been doing and I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong. I hope one day to get my cane pens to look anything close to yours! You do some amazing work!!!
