Judy Belcher is an incredible polymer clay artist ad President of the Polymer Clay Guild. Her artwork has appeared on television, in books and in magazines. Her DVD, Millefiori Story, is the essential guide to creating beautiful polymer clay canes.

Millefiori canework is a time honored glassmaking technique that easily translates into polymer clay. Judy spins tales of caning that will take you from basics to very intricate canes that you can make into jewelry, home decor, and more. The techniques on this DVD will help you create magnificant art that will tell a story of your own.

	Simple Canes Judy begins with the basics and then demonstrates how to make simple canes: stripes, checkerboards, and jellyrolls. She then takes slices and creates a clay journal cover.
Shifting Time Mica shift is a wonderful way to create colorful canes from a single block of metallic clay. You are not limited to the colors of pearl or metallic clay you find in your craft store. You can color the clay yourself, like Judy did in this project, to create endless possibilities. For this project, Judy uses her mica shift canes to create a clock.
	Extruding Light In this project, Judy demonstrates the wonders of working with translucent clay and an extruder. The night lights Judy creates with this technique are even more beautiful when they are lit.
Skinner Squared The Skinner blend (creating a perfect color gradient in clay) is the basis for much of Judy's work. In this project, Judy creates simple Skinner blend canes, and then transforms them into beautiful jewelry.
	Shake It Up In this project, Judy demonstrates how to create a three-color skinner blend. She covers a pair of salt and pepper shakers with clay and adds leaves created from a skinner blend cane.
Charming Fruit In this project, you will learn how to make a variety of canes: apples, grapes, lemons, limes, oranges, pears, strawberries, and watermelon. After you create these canes, you'll learn how to turn them into a charm bracelet.
	Tessellations You will be amazed when you discover that this intricate bracelet is much easier to create than it looks! Judy tells us that anything tessellated can be beautiful. (You can see a close-up of this bracelet on the cover of the DVD.)
Clay Quilts Judy teaches how to mimic quilt blocks using polymer clay. Cane slices create a sheet that can be used in a variety of projects. In this project, Judy demonstrates how to create wonderful buttons from her clay quilt canes.
	Facing Your Fears Face canes are not that difficult when Judy takes you through the process, step-by-step. She then makes a whimsical pair of earrings from her face cane.
