Most of my patterns start with three somewhat dark base colors and a fourth color which is used to lighten and brighten the other three. This fourth color is usually White, but I sometimes also use Tan, Yellow or Gray for other interesting effects. The finished product is called a "cane" and can be compared to a roll of slice-and-bake cookie dough where the pattern is visible in any cross-section.

RECYCLED starts with junk clay in a particular color scheme, usually leftover from the making of another cane. It is rolled into a jellyroll and surrounded by black and white stripes. The stripey circle is cut, reassembled, reduced and recombined to make a complex square cane with large and small stripe-surrounded swirls.

This pattern was first developed in 2003
