What you'll need:
1 oz. each of Sculpey III in two colors - I used Lime and Emerald
knife for sectioning clay
baby wipes for clean up
clay roller or glass jar
1. After conditioning each color, you'll need to turn each one into a sheet. Flatten the lighter lump of clay into a slab. Keep flattening the slab until it's easily rolled over with a clay roller or heavy glass jar. Roll over the clay in one direction then lift it from the work surface and turn it 1/4 turn. Repeat rolling and lifting and turning until the clay is a sheet about 1/6" thick.
Clean your hands and work surface and repeat this process with the darker color.
2. Layer the light color over the dark color. Press them together by rolling over the top. Trim one edge straight.
3. Gently roll the bundle on the work surface until it is one smooth rod. As you roll, don't let the colors turn. Roll this new rod gently until it's about 8" long.
4. Squeeze the jellyroll in your hand working from the middle of the cane to the ends to choke out air bubbles. Roll the cane gently on the work surface to smooth. Refer to Speckle Cane instructions #6-8 to change its shape to a square cane. Reduce the square cane until it is 1" across. Set the cane aside for a while to firm it.
