DW, yes! A couple of years ago I was in Sausalito with some out-of-town visitors. We went into a shop and half was filled with this guy's work. Some of it is huge. It's amazing, however it's made. We looked at it with mouths agape. The shop owner simply said, "Fimo." Very cool stuff. I'm not a fan of caning unless it's super high-quality. This stuff is.

I did smile a bit where the literature refers to "firing" and "kiln".
