Year of Clay - Cane for a Cause
I have an upcoming craft show. Perfectly normal. But this show’s proceeds go to benefit the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
I’m lucky. I’ve never lost anyone specifically to cancer let alone breast cancer. Hopefully I never do. Here’s my help with a brick in that road.
These are some ‘pink’ canes that will go on a whole whack of round beads. The beads will get made into keychains, zip pulls and cell phone charms. The proceeds from the sales will be donated.
All this also proves another point: if you are lacking inspiration and creativity… don’t open the field MORE but limit it. Give yourself a smaller playing field, a narrower colour selection. Dare your muse to take something difficult and make it pretty.

[...] Working from last weeks clay project, I made beads. Lots of beads. When I made the canes, I also made a whole lot of the same light pearl pink for base beads, to ensure a matching bead. I also made a plain but darker bead by adding some alizarin crimson to a chunk of the base colour. Voila! Many, many beads for a Very Good Cause. [...]
Great work, Elaine! Breast cancer is a cause that is too near and dear to my heart. Thank you for doing this for the CBCF!
