A tile cane is formed basically like a kaleidoscope cane which start with a triangle shaped cane, multiplied by two to create a square cane and then multiplied by four to form a design of a tile. This tutorial presents the steps starting with a triangle shape I drew on a paper as a guide and then forming all its parts while trying to maintain a triangle shaped cane, which is the base for the tile cane. The size of the triangle drawing and the height of the parts will determine the final size of the whole cane. I drew a triangle schema, starting with a 90 degree angle, measuring 9x9 cm / 3.5x3.5 inch from each side and connecting them with a line. you can draw a smaller triangle size, that will be fine too. The height of the parts I've assembled are approximately 5 cm / 2 inch, for me it is a nice and comfortable size to work with. Keep in mind a few things - The tile cane design consists of shapes and background, this tile cane has a white "background color", and its "shapes" are a variety of blue shades. When choosing your palette consider what is the color of your background and what are the colors of the "shapes". Let's start! The photos are easy to follow, create similar shapes as my design or create your own shapes and lines. Starting from a sharp angle, forming a few shapes and lines. Then adding the white background color and then continue adding lines and shapes. Then going to the second sharp angle and adding there shapes and lines, adding more shapes and also adding the white background color. ...another view of the step above. When the second sharp angle is done, connect the two parts of the angles with shapes and lines. Add more white for the background between the two parts of the angles then work on the 90 degree angle, adding shapes and lines. The first main cane, the triangle cane, is done. Reduce this cane to a long triangle shaped cane, at least 20-25 cm / 8-10 inch long, and try to maintain its shape and corners all the way through. Before dividing it into 2 parts, clean its sides until the design is clean and similar on both sides of the cane. Then cut the cane into two and attaching them to all of their length, being very precise so the design will match like a mirror, forming a square cane. Maybe it won't look like a square shape at first, maybe more like a rhombus shape, but that is OK, while reducing it just shape it into a square. Reduce this cane to a long square shaped cane, at least 20-25 cm / 8-10 inch long, and try to maintain its shape and corners all the way through. Clean its sides until the design is clean and similar on both sides of the cane. Cut the cane into 4 equal parts. The tile cane is almost done. Now comes the step to assemble the 4 parts and sometimes it is a hard decision. You can skip this step and work with the "quarter" cane, making a surface, mirroring the slices and creating a surface of tiles. Or, continue to assemble the 4 parts to a tile cane with the design you like the most. It was hard, but I chose this design. The tile cane after reduction. Hope you will try this tutorial. There are endless possibilities with this kind of cane and creating it is pure joy! This tile cane is available at my Etsy shop

Scraps from canes can be from any part or stage when constructing a cane; it can be from the petals stage or the cane ends after reducing and cutting the edges. For this particular cane it is good to have chunks of scrap canes, un-blended or mixed. Scraps from millefiori canes that have transparent background can be use too in this technique, there is an example at the end of this tutorial. 1. Materials: * Cane ends leftovers from several canes. * Polymer clay in one color (variable amount) for the outline. Tools: Cutting blade, rolling pin, pasta machine and a ruler. 2. Press each cane leftovers in to a ball. Don’t try to squash or mash the ball, to avoid mixing it up. Arrange the leftover canes from left to right to a color design for your liking. Roll from each ball a cylinder (a roll) to a length of 4-5 cm / 1.5 - 2 inch 3. Press each roll to a form of a rectangle, but keep their length the same, about 4-5 cm / 1.5 - 2 inch. Attached the rectangle pieces to each other, forming a thick rectangle sheet. 4. With the rolling pin, flatten the thick sheet some more; but try to keep its shape as much as you can in a form of a rectangle, do that by pressing at the sides of the sheet when needed. The sheet thickness has to be about a 0.5 cm / 0.2 inch. 5. Set the pasta machine on its thickest setting (1). The rectangles shapes are going to be lengthened, so the position of the sheet is vertical rectangles through the pasta machine. Roll the sheet one time - this will be the "colored sheet". Cut off the top and bottom sides of the sheet. 6. For the outline - make a thin sheet (setting 4-5 on the pasta machine) in the size (width and length) of the colored sheet. Attached the outline sheet on to the colored sheet and gently press them together with a rolling pin (and take out any bubbles). 7. Roll the 2 sheets together - set the pasta machine on its thickest setting (1). Again, the position of the sheet is vertical rectangles through the pasta machine. Roll the sheet one time. 8. Clean the edges - from the 4 sides, cut the sheet to a form of a square. 9. Cut the sheet to 5 equal pieces - measure the length of the sheet, divide it by 5 and cut it horizontally - from side to side, as described on pic 9. 10. Place the 5 pieces one on top of the other and gently tighten them. 11. Carefully reduce the stack to a rectangle form, to a length of approximately 8-9 cm / 3 -3.5 inch. 12. Clean the edges - from the 2 sides, cut the ends, so the pattern can be seen clearly. 13. Cut the cane in to 2 equal pieces. Attached the 2 pieces so the outline color is on the outside. 14. Decide which side will be the middle of the triangle cane and tighten this side a little. And on to the other side - add a thin sheet from the outline color, to complete the sequence of the outline color. 15. Form the cane in to a triangle cane by pressing inside on to the "middle side" corner and gently pull the other 2 corners out. 16. Reduce the cane length to about 8-9 cm / 3 -3.5 inch. Clean the edges - from the 2 sides, cut the ends, so the pattern can be seen clearly. Cut the cane in to 2 equal pieces. 17. Attached the two parts, "middle side" to "middle side". To form a triangle cane - press gently the "middle side" edge on to the work surface. Reduce the cane length to about 6-8 cm / 2.5-3.5 inch. 18. Cut the cane in to 2 equal pieces and attached the two parts to one square cane. 19. Press gently on 4 corners to form a round shape. Reduce and roll the cane to your desired size. Ta Da !!! A few steps from a scrap cane + Tip. In this cane I've used a small amount of scrap clay, and got a cheerful colored cane; I chose white for the outline and it made the cane brighter. The outline color has a lot of influence on the overall appearance, so take that in mind when making this cane :-) If you need help or have questions about this tut, please leave that in a comment and I will gladly assist.
