STRAWBERRY CANE!

[sweetpetunia]

Does anyone have a link or something to a strawberry cane tutorial?

Thanks!

The strawberry cane is one of the hardest... even some of the best can't do it that well.  Linda Cummings does some of the best I've seen, but doesn't have a tut.  I'll look around for one for you later when I'm home, but... they are tough.  I made a cane that...well.... it's not horrible, but I'm nowhere near satisfied with it.

I have one on a strawberry slice on my Miniatures page:

And here's some info that's still in my files but not yet added to my site:

strawberry half (thick triangular sheet of red clay added to back of slice?)...outside of strawberry's surface poked multiple times with toothpick, etc. for "seed" holes --or could press against a texture sheet of random projections, etc.)

I used to have at least one on a whole strawberry (exterior) for a cane too, but geocities is now down.

Might be more tutorials in this search too:
