Oh my goodness, I just noticed from the thumbnail that these tiles make X's and O's. This could be the fanciest set of tic-tac-toe tiles ever! Would be a great gift for a child.

Oh yeah!! Definitely!! You will find that when you go about doing kaleidoscope patterns in this manner, that there will be a tendency where one set goes into the x formation and another will go into the o formation. Hopefully you might try creating some of these kaleidoscope patterns. Sending big hugs!! :)

Working in a registration line is absolutely genius! A real game changer, Laura. Thanks so much!!

Thank you, Sandra! Bless you, lady! Yeah, for me, the registration line is essential when I create my kaleidoscope canes...It makes them so much easier to figure out where I am with putting the different patterns together. Again, thank you and sending my hugs! :)

To document and keep slices in all the different stages is a genius idea! I bow before you 🤗

@laurajschiller 9 ай бұрын

LOLOLOL!! Aww, bless you, lady!! Keeping a slice of each stage makes such a huge difference for me in keeping track of what I have already discovered, what I have yet to try, and if I need to backtrack it's easier to remember what I have already done....less time wasted. But yet what a wonderful compliment, and I thank you for taking the time to let me know. It keeps me going and creating!! Sending you my biggest of big hugs!! :)

Awesome! Making slices to document the pattern along with the registration mark is the only way I think I can make sense of all of the patterns! Thank you Laura for sharing your know-how!

Thanks for this tutorial. Very thorough and paced well. Love the tip of keeping a slice at each stage, so helpful

You are absolutely most welcome, Miss Holly!! And thank you for your very kind and "keeps me going" comment!! Sometimes I wonder if I make a difference through creating these videos and your input makes a difference for me. Bless you! And Yes, I believe in the "slice" thing. It not only gives me an idea of what I started with, but it is a visual cue for me as to where I am in the process of creating something. It makes a world of difference for me. Sending you my big hugs! :)

Hi Laura. What a fabulous informative video. It was really interesting to see how many different patterns you created from one cane and as you said the emphasis on longer shapes in some and rounder shapes in the other. I hadn't thought to keep slices for reference but it makes so much sense. Thank you Laura

@laurajschiller 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much, Miss Clare!! I wasn't planning to put this video out this soon, but I couldn't wait...it had to be done! LOLOLOL!! When I first figured this out, I was thrilled because some of my kaleidoscopes are so fun that I want more of them, so with this method, I can recreate them many times over, when I want and for me it saves on how much clay I invest into the process too. So, I wanted others to have that same insight... And yeah, those slices are sooooo important. They will give you a reminder as to what you used, the colors, etc. I have more information on this sort of thing, but my hope is to possibly get it up on my patreon, where I will be featuring patterns using this method, and other little tips... this way people will no longer have to guess at how to create these wonderful patterns, they will have the information right there, already done. I hope you are having a great day, my dear...and I am sending out my biggest hugs to you! :)

@@laurajschiller I think the gift in this video, is to understand that by combining simple components you can make something beautiful, that makes you look really accomplished at your craft. Then for a beginner to be able to see that just through changing colour combinations you open up a magical world of endless possibilities and this is where the fun begins. Lets face it, when any of us start a new craft we are hoping to make something stunning. I love that you show that this ability is open to anyone.

@@clare9637 I couldn’t possibly put it any better than what you just wrote!! Wow!! I have been saying for years that anyone can pick up this clay and become good at creating some very beautiful work. It’s a matter of practice and time. But truly Clare, again thank you for your comment!! Not only are you kind in your words towards me, but you bring very insightful thoughts as to what I am trying to portray through these videos and in that you enrich us all.
