Well, the deadline for my first polymer clay challenge is today.  The challenge is for the polymer clayers on the Bead and Button Forum.  This months challenge is skinner blend flower surrounded by translucent.  I have made roses and other flowers before using this type of technique.  I decided to try using a single color with white for the skinner blend.  I did two flowers for this challenge and learned a lot.  The first one I did, I forgot to pack translucent around the base of the petals, so it is more of a round flower.  It is the yellow and white flower.  The second one that I did, I packed the petals but when I reduced the cane I lost the round shape so they are triangle petals.  The second cane is the blue and white one.  The third petal in the picture, is actually a petal cane that I made for the cane swap that I am doing in the next couple of months.  It is a skinner blend of pearl and fuschia wrapped in purple.
