I don't take classes as a rule, but your variations are definitely sparking my interest. Keep Albuquerque in mind if you do. And thanks for the clarification on my post...it's appreciated!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('11890','barb fajardo'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('11890','barb fajardo','Well, Carol...I for one (probably of many) may take a class from you if you decide to teach it.

Barb, your comment didn't imply anything negative. I think Jan just wanted to make it clear that what I'm doing is really different from morphing canes as Sarah does. Jan is the only one who has actually seen me doing it and she's excited about it. We actually made 60 variations from one cane! I'm teaching a test class to Jan and a couple of other people in June to help me decide if I want to go on the road with a formal class. <div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('11888','Carol Simmons'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('11888','Carol Simmons','Thank you all, for the positive comments.

However, Carol’s kaleidoscope cane system is very different from Sarah’s. I’ve taken Sarah’s classes & I’ve seen Carol’s system. I think Cynthia’s “Skinner Blend” comparison is right on point because I find the “Simmons' System” to be more like the “Skinner Blend” in that it takes kaleidoscope cane manipulation beyond what others have done. Just as Judith Skinner created a new, systematic way of blending clay which went beyond previous mixing methods, Carol Simmons has developed a particular cane design and a systematic way of cutting slices from a single cane and rearranging them to produce literally dozens of different kaleidoscopic veneers. She has developed templates which use geometric principles to facilitate the process. The veneers that result are inter-related in color and design.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('11083','Jan Frame'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('11083','Jan Frame','Yes, these kaleidoscopes are reminiscent of Sarah Shriverââ¬â¢s beautiful &amp; fascinating cane manipulations.
