Polymer Clay Podcast#20 interview with Tamara Marble of Designer Canes

// November 29th, 2007 // No Comments » // Interviews, Podcasts

This week we bring you an interview with Tamara Marble, who created the company Design Canes. She makes very cute small canes, in shapes (no filler around the shape). For example, a fish cane would have the outline of a fish, a bunny will have a bunny outline, etc. She then bakes the canes and cuts them into 1 inch pieces that are sold on her site, www.designcanes.com, and at various retailers. We saw some at the Orlando show being sold by a company called Sparkle n’ Sprinkle (we talked about her millions of colors of glitter and embossing powder, which you’ll see next week in part 2 of our video tour of the show.

Tamara tells us how to use her canes, how she got started, and about her success. With a simple creative idea, this interesting lady has created a business – Think about what you could do!

Enjoy the podcast and be sure to visit Tamara’s site to see the hundreds of canes she has designed. If you live in her area, she is now teaching classes, too. Be sure to Sign up for our Newsletter, and you will be entered to win the generous prize Tamara gave to us this month- three sets of canes and a slicing board.

A great big thanks to these three, who met us for the first time at CHA and allowed us to interview them, on camera, for global distribution!!! That’s huge guys. And absolutely no stagefright. It is so great to put faces with the names you know. We’ve seen and spoken together in forums at Polymer Clay Central, Kira and Lynne Ann have swapped dragon pendants, but none of us had ever met. Thanks again- and please visit their sites if you get a chance-

Cat
Tommie- well I can’t find a website for him but here’s a great article he wrote-
