Preheat oven to 275 °F. Test temperature with oven thermometer for perfectly cured clay. Condition all clay by kneading until it’s soft and smooth or running it through the Clay Conditioning Machine for several passes on the widest setting. Fold the clay in half after each pass and insert the fold side into the rollers first.

Create the colors in the pictured shawl pin blend the following:
Dark Brown: Mix ¼ block Blue, 1/8 block Red and 1/8 block Yellow.
Peach: Mix ½ block White, 1/8 block Yellow and 1/16 block Red.
Green: Mix ½ block White, 1/8 block Yellow, 1/16 block Blue.
Light Blue: Mix 1 block White and ¼ block Blue.

At thin setting on pasta machine, roll dark brown clay into sheet.

At thickest setting on pasta machine, roll Peach, Green, and Light Blue clay into sheets. Cut two 1"x3" pieces of Peach clay. Stack layers on top of each other, pressing together; add thin layer of Dark Brown on top. Repeat with Green and Light Blue clay.

Roll each slab through pasta machine on thickest setting, wide edge against the rollers. Stack these three sheets on top of each other, brown side up. Roll through pasta machine on thicket setting. Cut into three pieces and stack, Brown side up. Trim edges.

Cut 2-1/2" circle from Blue clay. Cut 1-1/2" circle out of the middle. Press lightly on inside and outside edges to bevel. Dot with Translucent Liquid Sculpey and spread over the surface.

Cut thin slices from the long edge of the striped slab. Layer the slices over the Blue base, overlapping slices. Press lightly to adhere. When surface is covered, trim edges.

Twist scraps from striped slab into a snake, approx. 4 long, pointed on end. Decorate the wide end with thin slices from striped slab. Shape on baking surface with slight curves as shown.
