Hi Garno,

No, not pre turned.... Toni makes polymer clay canes and these she uses to make the blanks from. It's a fascinating process, I liken it to how they get the letters into a stick of rock.... Don't try eating these though... Once she has the canes these are cut wafer thin and applied onto the base/background material, then blended. Once she has it fully covered and blended they get baked in the oven to cure(definitely do not try this at home Mrs Garno will not be happy!!)

Toni makes the blanks to the finished bushes size, so all I need to do is a little polish and a CA finish:banana::banana:
