Materials and Tools:
- 1oz each Premo! Sculpey
- pearl
(5101)
- white (5001)
- translucent
(5310)
- and gold (5303)
- Clay dedicated pasta machine
- Straight blade (such as Sculpey Super Slicer)
Directions:
1) Condition each of the clays individually starting with the lightest
color (translucent-white-pearl-gold)
2) Roll the translucent, white, and pearl clays into individual
logs. Cut the white into three pieces. Cut the pearl and translucent
into
2 pieces each. Roll each piece into a small log…keep separate. 3) Lay the three
white logs next to each other. Lay one pearl log on top of the white
logs (in the space between 2 logs) and lay one translucent log next
to that one. Turn the stack over and repeat with the other 2 logs.
This will give you a rounded group of logs. 
4) Begin to marbleize
the three colors: First twist the group (candy cane like). 
Then
roll the twist up (like a snail).
Next
squish the snail.
5) Now roll the
squished snail into a log again and repeat the above steps three
more times
until you have a nice blend of the colors. Roll this
blend into a log about 3”-4” long. Give it a final twist
(like a candy cane). Set aside.
6) Roll the gold
clay through your pasta machine on #1 (the widest setting). Wrap
the log with this sheet.
Roll
log to smooth seam.
7) Flatten log
with the palm of your hand.
Roll
lengthwise through the pasta machine on #1.
This
will give you a long, skinny strip.
**Do
not worry if the inside is showing (as in the photo). When the
pieces are stacked it will not show as long as you lay the marbled
part next to gold. **
8)
Starting at one end of the strip cut across the length every
3”.
Cut as many pieces as you can. **If you would like more strips, cut
2” pieces instead of 3”. This will give you a fuller
looking wing in the end** 
9) Now begin to stack the pieces. If you want, bend a couple of pieces
as you are stacking. Stack all of the pieces except 1 or 2. 
10) Lay the last of the pieces across the top and down the
side of the stack. This will become the top of your wing.
11)
Taper the end across from the “top” giving
your cane a teardrop shape. Press the top of the cane into the palm
of your hand
to compress and begin the reduction.
12) Slice off one end to see the results. Enjoy using in your angel
creations.
**I tend to cut this into 2 or three pieces, reducing each to a
different size for use in my angel ornaments and pins. The cane
can be left large
for use on figurines** Project
