 Materials:
- Translucent Premo! Sculpey
- Premo! Sculpey colors of choice such as Violet 5515, Cadmium Yellow 5572, Ultramarine Blue 5562, Sea Green 5305, Orange 5033
Directions:
Roll out translucent clay in pasta machine on the thickest setting. Lay two thicknesses and trim to about 2" high by 4" wide. |
Cut triangles from the translucent sheet so as to form 3-7 triangles.
|
Here is how the remainder of the cuts will look.. |
Place 1/8" coils of color into spaces between the cuts and compact together.
|
Here are all of the coils laid in place. |
Trim off any excess off the sides so this all fits into the width of your pasta machine.
|
Trim off the coils as well.
|
Roll with brayer to tack pieces together if need be.
|
Roll through pasta machine 20-25 times. The first time will be unfolded since it is a double thickness. |
This is what the sheet will look like the first time through.
|
Fold in half and now roll through the machine 20-25 times. |
This is what the sheet will look like 1/2 way through. |
Here is the sheet completely blended. |
Cut colors apart where translucent line is between the colors. |
Mix colors together as so. Here you have 8 translucent colors blended and made in about 10 minutes.
|
You can also blend gold colors! |
Here is the look of the finished golds:
|
As you might guess, this can be done with the Premo! Pearls as well! |
