Millefiori is Italian for "Thousand Flowers." Originally a technique used for making decorative glass works most frequently associated with Venetian glassware. More recently, the millefiori technique has been applied to polymer clay and other materials.

​

This complex process is time consuming and involves hard work .
I create the flower design with my own polymer clay flower canes. (it’s a similar process to making rock candy)

I build my canes large and reduce to the size I want to work with, then I slice my canes to very thin slices. 

Every flower is a separate slice out of my millefiori polymer clay canes.

I lay my flowers slices one by one, moulding each one in to a polymer clay surface/base, and smoothing each flower to a beautiful composition of flower arrangements.

I bake the items and let them cool, then I sand them with 5 grits of very fine sand paper, using 400 - 2000 grits dry/wet sand paper in soapy water. Then finish with a buffing wheel to get a beautiful shine and rich look.
