Jellyroll Cane with a Psychedelic Twist – Glow in the Dark

Up until recently, I have hesitated about creating more video tutorial lessons on how to make Rainbow Jellyroll Canes and Beads. Not that they aren’t cool. It’s just that this design has been demonstrated so many times by other polymer clay artists before me.
But now I’ve got a whole new twist on this project… that I guess I’ll refer to as a Psychedelic 60’s Cane.
First of all, it glows in the dark!
Secondly, it is done with a really cool blend, made with alcohol inks, which gives the cane a unique painterly look. This blend is great to use in other polymer clay projects as well. Definitely a must-learn technique to add to your growing bag of polymer clay tricks.
And thirdly, it glows in the dark! :-) :-) If you’re anything like me, you’ll keep having this strange urge to go into dimly lit rooms when you are wearing beads, earrings and pendants made with this cane… just to see them light up!
Now if this middle-aged chick thinks glowing jewelry is so neat, just imagine how cool a teen would feel… or grandkids… or anyone else who happens to by young at heart.
Glow in the dark not your thing? Well the same principles used to make this cane, can also be used to make a similar rainbow cane in translucent or pearl clay.
My plan is to include a cane tutorial on this topic in the March Volume-022 member video series. And as Phaedrakat has correctly echoed several times now in other posts, “…Cindy treats comments like votes or requests.”
So please do let me know if making glow-in-the-dark jellyroll rainbow canes and beads is something that you would like to learn about.
Cindy, I can’t wait to see all the exciting things you have in store for all of us. You are such a talented artist, and I feel very blessed to have found your website and become a member. Will you be showing us how to make the gorgeous rainbow-colored bead in this interchangeable pendant photo? It is soooo pretty, please show us how to make it!! ~Tiffany-M
I’d really like to learn how to make the rainbow bead that Tiffany mentioned. She’s right, it’s gorgeous. Can you put it on your list for tutorials? ~Linda-K
Linda and Tiffany: I have just come up with my own unique version of the Rainbow Jelly Roll Cane, that I am very excited about. My plan is show you guys how to make it next month in March. ~Cindy-L (me)
Goody, goody, goody!! More canes! I’m a bit of a cane-aholic. It is one of the first things I started making when I found polymer clay a loooong time ago. And I have amassed quite a collection by now. I’m familiar with the jelly roll cane. But as usual Cindy, you have put your own very cool spin on them. XOXO ~Jamie-H

I wanted to provide a link to the actual tutorial page, which shows a preview video of the Glowing Jellyroll Cane – Psychedelic 60’s.
There’s also comments & feedback about this wonderful tute, and a discussion of tips and some of the alternate methods used. This is one of the most exciting tutorials — people were (and still are) extremely amazed by how cool this gorgeous rainbow, glow-in-the-dark cane really is. The secret blend method is just one of the reasons for the excitement… Have fun!
