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.

The WEATHERED pattern is a departure from my usual millefiori canework, in that it is not a cane at all. WEATHERED veneers are comprised of light clay that has been decorated with chalk pastels in a deliberate fashion, and then textured with an original design of dots and concentric circles.

The technique I used is a variation of one taught to me be Ellen Marshall, and you can read more about it here.

This pattern was first developed in 2009
