Smooshed Diamonds

  

I used my "Smoosh Cane" technique (which I also interchangeably used the name "Tie Dye Cane") for the primary design of this lid. The instructions for this method are found in "The Complete Book of Polymer Clay." Each diamond clay element is studded with a SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Hotfix crystal. A simpler version of the technique was used to create a two-color cane with a burst effect along the rim. Slices from this cane were placed along a single strip of clay and rolled until smooth, then wrapped around the rim.
