Hi Tracy!

I spent a while making stringer/canes last night...I found a couple of real dramatic color combos that look like their going to be fun:

1. Base of Pink (I used 104 Reich Opal Raspberry) and Pea Green Stripes to pull into a cane;

2. Base of Black (Hades is especially dense and good!) with Pale Pink Stripes to pull into a cane;

3. Base of Black (Hades again) with Medium Opaque Green Stripes to pull into cane;

4. Base of Pea Green with alternating Med. Opaque Green and Black Stripes to pull into cane....

The combos are endless!!! Chime in, everyone!!! Tip: I found that making a base of Opaque White with any color stripe is a PITA, since it seems the White wants to firm up really fast and not pull very thinly. Alternative is to make a base of any color and use the White for the stripes - this seems to pull out into the cane just wonderfully!
