When you have rolled your striped cane down to 1/12 inch in diameter, use a sharp polymer clay blade to cut sections through the cane. If your clay is soft, you may create soft 'squiggled' lines when you cut the cane. If you wish straight lines, let the cane harden before you slice it. Pieces cut diagonally instead of straight across the cane, will have slightly different patterns. Experiment and make a range of chocolates from your clay cane by shaping or cutting them into squares, hearts, diamonds after you cut sections from the cane. You can use any of the surface techniques from the plain chocolates to decorate or shape the lined or striped chocolates if you wish.
