Fimo fiore cane tile
Tile sample of Fimo fiore cane created by Jon Stuart Anderson. In much the same way that millefiori* glass is created, Jon lays strips of Fimo polymer clay together building a design from the inside out. There is a video on his website demonstrating the process. What starts out the size of a loaf of bread is stretched into something very tiny. This tile is about 3/4 inch on a side and is sliced from one of these bars. My tile came with the turtle sculpture shown in the photo in the first comment. You can see some of the detail in use on the final sculpture. I am currently using my tile as a sculpture in my dollhouse shown in the other photo. HMM
* The term millefiori is a combination of the Italian words "mille" (thousand) and "fiori" (flowers).
