There is a great YouTube video by Julie Picarello where she shows you how to make some gorgeous pieces and I highly recommend you take a look.
Here is my first attempt using this technique.

Polymer clay stack for Mokume Gane |
I them combined the four colours again using the pasta machine and cut my long slices to achieve a stack following the dark/light colour combination.
The stack has been indented with a pattern |
Now this is where the technique differs slightly previously my indenting on the stack was more random this time I went for a more structured pattern on the clay.

Also differing from the last technique when it came to slicing my I clay previously shaved off random slices that where applied to a backing sheet of clay. This time I cut deeper which left me with four thicker slices of pattered clay to work with and create some pendants from.
Here are my cut pendant shapes ready to be cooked and crafted into some lovely jewellery pieces.

This is so fascinating - I don't work with polymer clay, but always enjoy reading your blog - I'm always amazed how at the end it all makes great pattern and looks really good.
ReplyDeleteI love the mixture of colours, I had no idea you could be that creative with coloured clay.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I keep thinking I would love to try this.
ReplyDeleteI love these colours together, it looks very striking. It reminds me of dropping paint onto oiled water.

Really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm not entirely sure on how you you got to the end product but I love how it turns out. The patterns created in the clay are fab.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this. I'm totally unfamiliar with fimo techniques and it looks interesting to see how these things are made.
