Butterfly Cane

I’ve been playing around with polymer clay, making miniature food for a shrine I’m working on. Will not be done for a couple of months, but I’ll post it here when it’s done. I wanted to do a really complex cane, something that looked like a picture, and this is the design I came up with.  Before it was reduced, it was about 5 1/2 by 7 inches, and about 3/4 inches thick. You lose some on the ends when you reduce it, but I still had enough to cut lots of thin slices of butterflies.  These have already been baked. You can tell because the translucent clay has become translucent instead of white.
