For anyone who saw the period when I took the english version of this down, `Kitten-of-Woe featured me as artisan of the month, which made me feel pretty snarky about taking some of my tutorials down, so they are back up now.

It's OK, I've printed the Czech translation, I'm familiar with the language! I'll let you know about the outcome as soon as I bake my first leaf!

They are polymer clay canes (you can do this with cookie dough, but you have to keep it well chilled)
You slice paper thin slices off to make designs, this one was made with a 5 petal flower cane, 2 leaf canes, and 2 butterfly wing canes (one for the top wing, one for the bottom) [link] all applied to a blue background.
I use Premo! clay mostly, but there are several brands and most any hobby store carries them.

Why do they call them canes? The finished products barely look like canes (as in the type you walk with, or candy canes), even though they're awesome.....
And the quote in yoor signiature's amusing. ^_^;;;;

Thanks on the siggy quote.
They are coppied from a technique of italian glass makers, and the original term from the glass makers was canes....beyond that, I don't know why they are called canes.

It's from 'milllaflora cane'. Millaflora is 'small flower' and it's a cane before you cut it up.
My head is full of stupid facts but usually never useful
This is well made though! You made it look easy enough without too much fuss.
