Mixing Colors

Mixing Colors TechniqueRead on to learn how to make some of our favorite clay color mixes!Dream it, create it! Maggie Maggio’s Color Mixing Map is the key to color mixing using premo! Sculpey. Simple and straight forward, the map uses three basic premo! colors: Zinc Yellow, Cobalt Blue and Fuchsia. premo! is the perfect mixing clay because the primaries do not contain white. Maggie Maggio has explored color for over thirty years. Trained as an architect and designer, Maggie discovered polymer clay in the early 1990′s and immediately recognized its potential for 3D color. Maggie and Lindly Haunani are co-authors of the book Polymer Clay Color Inspirations, published by Watson-Guptill/Random House.(click to enlarge map):[caption id="attachment_13234" align="alignnone" width="231"]Maggie Maggio Mixing Map for premo!Click on any Color Mixing Chart for an enlarged image:November 2018            October 2018                        September 2018            August 2018            July 2018            June 2018            May 2018                        April 2018            March 2018            February 2018            January 2018            2017feb2017-1 feb2017-5a JUN NCT 2017-1 MAR NCT 2017-3sep 2017 oct2017-x AUG2017-1                                                                                                                         November 2017NOV NCT 2017-1 NOV NCT 2017-2 NOV NCT 2017-3 NOV NCT 2017-4                   October 2017OCT2017-4 OCT2017-5 OCT2017-3 oct2017-2 oct2017-1                     September 2017SEP 2017-3 SEP 2017-4 SEP2017-1SEP2017-2Wasabi                               August 2017AUG2017-1a AUG2017-4 AUG2017-5a           aug2017-3 AUG2017-2             July 2017JUL NCT 2017-4 JUL NCT 2017-3 JUL NCT 2017-2a JUL NCT 2017-1                       June 2017JUN NCT 2017-1 JUN NCT 2017-2 JUN NCT 2017-3 JUN NCT 2017-4                       May 2017MAY2017-2 MAY 2017-1MAY2017-5 MAY2017-4 MAY2017-3                         April 2017APR NCT 2017-1a APR NCT 2017-2a APR NCT 2017-3B APR NCT 2017-4                   March 2017MAR NCT 2017-4 MAR NCT 2017-3 MAR NCT 2017-2 MAR NCT 2017-1                   February 2017feb2017-5c feb2017-5b feb2017-5afeb2017-4b     feb2017-3 feb2017-2 feb2017-1feb2017-all                                   January 2017JAN NCT 2017-5 JAN NCT 2017-4 JAN NCT 2017-3JAN NCT 2017-2                   December 2016 (favorites for the year)Oct2016-1 NCTSep1_9 NCTJuly1_1             NCTAug1_9 NCTApril_3 July-2015-2a               November 2016NovNCT2016-5c NovNCT2016-5b NovNCT2016-5a           NovNCT2016-3a NovNCT2016-2a NovNCT016-1NovNCT2016-4           October 2016Oct2016-5a Oct2016-4 Oct2016-3             Oct2016-2 Oct2016-1             September 2016NCTSep1_9NCTSep1_8NCTSep1_6NCTSep1_5             NCTSep1_3NCTSep1_2 NCTSep1           August 2016NCTAug1_4NCTAug1_14NCTAug1_11               NCTAug1_10NCTAug1_9NCTAug1_6           July 2016NCTJuly1_7           NCTJuly1_3           NCTJuly1_2           NCTJuly1_5           NCTJuly1_1           June 2016Jun NCT 3a           Jun NCT 4           Jun NCT 2           Jun NCT 3           Jun NCT 1         May 20161 to 1s         May 1           May 4           May 3           May 2         April 2016NCTApril_4           NCTApril_3           NCTApril_2           NCTApril_1b           NCTApril_1a           NCTApril final_1               March 2016NCTMar-7           NCTMar_6           NCTMar_3           NCTMar_2           NCTMar_5           February 2016FebNCT-Final1           Feb NCT-3           Feb NCT-4           Feb NCT-2a         Feb NCT-1            January 2016Jan016-4           Jan016-3b             Jan016-2a2                 Jan016-1q            November 2015Nove 2015-4           Nov 2015-3a           Nov 2015-4a'          Nov 2015-2a           Nov 2015-2           Nov 2015-1            October 2015:Oct 2015-3           Oct 2015-4           Oct 2015-2a           Oct 2015-2           Oct 2015-1            September 2015:NCT Sep 2015-5           NCT Sep 2015-4           NCT Sep 2015-3a           NCT Sep 2015-3           NCT sep 2015-2           NCT Sep 2015-1          August 2015:NCT Aug 2015-2           NCT Aug 2015 bonus               NCT Aug 2015-1-1           July 2015-3    July 2015          July 2015-4           July 2015-2a         July 2015-2           July 2015-1b           NCT June 2015-5June 2015          NCT Jun 2015-4           NCT Jun 2015-3b           NCT Jun 2015-3a           NCT Jun 2015-1b           NCT June 2015-1a1           May 2015-3           Mar 3a         May 2015-2         May 2015-1April finalApr 2015-2Apr 2015-1Apr 2015-3April 5Mar 3aBGPApr 2015-4Apr 2015-4aMar 4Mar 5bMar 5aMar 2Mar 1b1Mar 3-1Mar 3aMar 1dMar 3bMar 1cMar 1aFeb colors finalFeb 4Feb 3Feb 2 fuschiaFeb 1 yellowLayoutJan 4 Souffle allJan 4 Souffle-GoldJan 4 purpleJan 4 FuchsiaJan 4 CBJan 3 GreenJan 3 BGPJan 3 JungleJan 3 wasabiJan 2 redJan 2 OrangeJan 2 Yellow1Jan 1 Premo RedJan 1 MPJan 1 Bronze 1Jan 1 ACPremo!

Project Instructions

Your Workspace:
Please make sure your work area is covered and you are not working on an unprotected surface. We recommend working on the Sculpey® Work ‘n Bake Clay Mat, wax paper, metal baking sheet, or disposable foil. Uncured clay may damage unprotected furniture or finished surfaces. Be sure to cover your crafting area appropriately.

Getting Started:
Start with clean hands, unwrap and knead clay until soft and smooth, or condition by running clay though a Pasta Machine. We recommend using a designated machine for clay purposes only. When working with multiple colors, clean hands with soap and water or baby wipes (we have found that baby wipes work best) before switching colors. Shape clay, pressing pieces firmly together. Wash hands after use.

Baking:
Begin by preheating oven to 275 °F (130 °C). After you are done creating; for best results bake clay on an oven-proof surface such metal, aluminum foil, an index card or the Sculpey® Clay Mat at 275°F (130 °C) for 15 minutes per ¼" (6 mm) thickness according to package directions. Oven safe glass or ceramic surfaces are also acceptable for baking; however please note that the baking times may take longer as the glass or ceramic surfaces take longer to heat up. For best baking results, use an oven thermometer. DO NOT USE MICROWAVE OVEN. DO NOT EXCEED THE ABOVE TEMPERATURE OR RECOMMENDED BAKING TIME.
With roller in tool set, roll thin sheets of each clay color. From Beige, cut out 8 circles and 7 small teardrops. From Violet, cut out 7 diamonds. From Purple, cut out 7 diamonds. From Spring Lilac, cut out 7 large teardrops and 21 ovals.
Press cutouts on glass ball according to photo, or any way you want. Stamp if desired. Sprinkle with glitter.
Bake according to instructions above in Step 1.
