If you like this tutorial, come see what’s happening this month at Cane Builder.

Here are the steps to making a moonrise landscape cane. I like it because of the way the craters on the moon are made.

Start with a blend.

Cut off some of the light part of the blend. This is for the moon.

Marble the light part very slightly. Don’t mix or swirl it too much. Make it into one large ball and a few smaller balls.

Take what’s left of the blend, stretch it out, and make it into a stack.

Set the stack aside. Put creators in the moon like this.

Wrap the blend around the moon. Cut the curves off to make it square.

Reduce the square a little. Cut it in half. Add a while stripe to one side.

Use the left over dark clay to insert lines in the water for ripples in the reflection.
