Here's an example of Heather's work, although it's not from the tutorial, per se. I couldn't find an image of one of her individual ribbon canes, but figured this was better than no image at all. The work is first rate!
Tutorial Description:
Heather Trimlett demonstrates how to make a fancy ribbon cane. You'll see how she plans and creates a beautiful twisted cane created with Italian soft glass rods, and encased with hand-pulled Lauscha clear. Filmed in Lowell, Mass. at the ISGB Gathering.
