Jellyroll Pattern II

Jellyroll Candleholder
I used the jellyroll patterned cane
that I prepared yesterday to make this candleholder. The photo above is
taken with a candle inside. You can see the photos without a candle and
in the dark below. Opaque colors make it vivid even when there is no
candle inside. Translucent clays allow the light to pass through it.
Glow-in-the-dark clays make it emit light in the darkness.

Glow-in-the-dark clays make it emit light in the darkness.
Materials needed to make this candleholder:
- Opaque green, opaque red, translucent and glow in the dark polymer clays.
- Razor, roller, varnish, brush and a bare glass candleholder.
Repeating the same techique that I described yesterday, I prepared another combination with the green and glow in the dark.
Then we cut slices of the pattern as shown above (for covering glass) and below (for covering wood).
The place the slices without leaving too much space in between on a clean flat surface.
Then use the roller to merge the slices. Putting a cooking sheet over
the slices prevents mixing of colors. Now you are ready to cover the
glass. Place the merged pattern on the glass shape and apply a little
pressure with roller again to help it stick to the surface. Try not to
leave any fingerprints. After baking, you can use a buffing wheel to erase any remaining fingerprints and and provide some additional gloss. Lastly, apply the varnish with a brush.

Great website! Do you know how to make a kaleidascope cane very simply as I have tried and tried and i just don’t get anywhere!

Thank you Bethia. I haven’t tried a kaleidoscope cane work yet but it is something I always wanted to try. Now that you reminded me, I might try and come with a tutorial when I have some time.
