Well, I decided to use the sheet of sculpey III translucent I made in the tutorial from day 20 to make a mokume gane slabusing some Pearlescent Liquid Acrylics.

It came out very nice.

I thought….hmmmm that would make a great scarf for a new mask. But I didn’t remember my own lesson and even though I used Kato Polyclay as the backing for the scarf, I didn’t cover the top with wax paper. I was spared the agony of swearing s I cleaned clay out of the rollers…but the clay did stick and the pattern dragged. So it’s not longer mokume gane. It is however a pretty marbled pattern. Miss Thang is in the oven baking right now. Once she’s sanded and sealed, I think it will still be a nice piece.

Duh…I seem to be having problems all around this morning. Ok now the pics should be there. Going back to bed.

My kreation of the day is a tutorial.

Someone over at polymer clay central had a question about getting Sculpey rolled through a pasta machine with out ending up with a sticky mess. I use sculpey all the time in my mokume ganes. Wax paper and letting the clay rest between passes through the past machine are the keys.
