Oh my GOD. I forgot to put my recipe with my pictures. It must be Friday. I make my grape can with a simple white cane covered in black. When pulled out, black of course turns deep purple which I think is perfect for grapes or flowers.
For the tree cane, I use an optic mold but you don't have to. Just melt a huge blob of white and make a barrel out of it. Make five even grooves and fill with dense black. After you melt that in a bit, coat it with....you can choose anything you want but I use trans orange, red, brown, even Rubino sometimes. Keeping the original shape of a barrel, melt all in and pull. You can also stripe it with raku cane for extra added detail and color.
Thanks Lara for watching out for me. It seem these days I need it.
