Polymer Clay Mokume Gane Technique

[@lindalopresti389]

Wow! This is the first of your work that I’ve seen. Really gorgeous! Thank you.

[@craftinforcoinswithangelab396]

Love this! Very good instructions and beautiful outcome!

[@casey6223]

Beautiful Gayle! Thank you for your in-depth explanations. Those tutorials that are sped up with no comments are so hard to follow.

[@Mimismarketva]

Thanks! That is one of the reasons I started doing video tutorials. Most of the ones on KZbin are either sped up or are a 'speak over'. I like real time videos and instructions.

[@SheLikesSteel]

The key to using odd numbers is that it tells our minds that it’s okay to be random...even numbers should be in an organized pattern of some sort

[@kathyakadragonflysmiles301]

GREAT! I have been playing with Makume Gane for a while now. Love the effects.

[@Mimismarketva]

Thanks!

[@kaykrause4469]

I would’ve liked to have seen the finished product. That would be nice.

[@saraht7890]

Great tutorial with lots of tips! Thank you Gayle.

[@suzannerobinson1425]

Excellent demo on this unique process...which is so fun and addictive....thanks Gayle.

[@Mimismarketva]

Thanks!

[@amanda4898]

You should be a southern girl! I listen to you at 2 x playback, just the right speed🤭 I say this with complete love and admiration. Keep claying sister!

[@barbarahinman1477]

Such beautiful work! I can't wait to try it. Thank you for your talents.

[@caphilliips]

I am so glad I found you .

[@lynnperez1363]

On the one slice that you said was wrong it had long holes, and you just put it off to the side. Could you put some clay backed with foil and roll it so it shows through the elongated holes? I think a pop of metallic color like maybe copper with those colors would be awesome. As far as having all those drawers of clay, and actually using it to clean, and throw it away...brought tears. I love this hobby soooo much, but it's soooo expensive. I'm on a fixed income and barely have any supplies, but at least I can watch and learn right? Your videos are great...straight forward, to the point, and easy to understand. Thanks for sharing! 💕

[@Mimismarketva]

Have no fear! I am also on a fixed income too. I have to be careful what I buy and make the most out of what I have. The clay that I said I threw away was some dirty translucent clay that I used to clean my pasta machine between colors. I had used it quite a bit and it was a sick grey green color. It really wasn't good for anything. I usually keep all of my scrap and put it in bowls according to color. I use it to make bead cores or a sheet to put a veneer on. OR if I need just a small amount of a color I take it out of my scrap bowl instead of opening another block of clay. When I accumulate too much scrap, I blend it into sheets and keep it in a drawer to use for a project. I make boxes and things with them. If I still have too much, I will destash it. It's amazing how many people want scrap clay. I'm glad you found my channel and hope that you are learning from my videos. I have so much to share. Thanks for commenting.

[@terripipher1300]

[@Mimismarketva]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting.

Wow! This looks like so much fun! I haven't gotten the wavy blade yet, but now I really want one! Thanks, Gayle! 😉 I love the results you got! Thanks for sharing!

[@Mimismarketva]

Thanks!

[@mantra-pv5rp]

hi Gail. I was wondering where did you get the flower cutter, please??

[@Mimismarketva]

Thanks for watching my video! That is a Kemper Clay Cutter. I have several sets on my Amazon page but not a SET of the flower cutters. Some of the different size sets have the flower cutter in it. I went through a spell where I bought a lot of sets so I probably had enough size sets that I ended up with several sizes of each shape. Here is the link if you are interested. amzn.to/36Bvape Thanks again!

[@TinaLovesToCraft]

I love you tutorials I should comment more I watch your videos when I craft they turn out lovely thanks for sharing

[@Mimismarketva]

That's great! It makes it seem like we're crafting together! tfs

[@TinaLovesToCraft]

Lol yes it is

[@polymerclayinspired7248]

Lovely tutorial Gayle ❤️👍🏻

[@bonnieocker7349]

Another wonderful tutorial. I know what you mean about dog hair and clay. I have tried everything to try and avoid it, but I know that there is a little bit of my dogs in every clay project I do. Heck, I'm sure I've eaten my fair share too.....lol!

[@Mimismarketva]

Those hairs just make my creations that much more special! I always say that a little bit of my heart goes into each item and my dogs certainly have my heart! Thanks!

[@nuna4307]

Awesome Gayle

[@gladystoledo1192]

Love ur work . It's beautiful

[@marywoods6329]

Hi Gayle is there any way to watch your videos from when you started claying thank you so much

[@Mimismarketva]

Hi Mary! I thought you had seen all my videos! LOL Just go to my channel's home page, Click the videos tab. Then you can SORT by date "oldest to newest". Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

[@pammcgregor]

Very informative

[@carolnelson7107]

Hi Gayle, love your video's ! ! ! In response plastic for your clay, recycle plastic grocery bags and cut into the sizes you need.... If I have just small portions left I will use a plastic zip sandwich sized bag.... :)

[@Mimismarketva]

Great tip!

[@rossanaparker9222]

Very good tutorial thank you. X

[@rondabdangles]

That's awesome!!

[@BitiyPixel]

Cool video, amazing lesson! Thank you!

[@Nicholasxie]

That was so awesome! ❤️

[@diannebateman2391]

great ideas, thanks so much for sharing with us.

[@veselinakolarova5641]

Wonderful! Thank you very much!

[@sherralieberry-majeski5972]

Do you have some finished pieces to show off?

[@normaalmanza6014]

thank you for sharing you do beautiful work question where did you get your stamp with your initials

[@Mimismarketva]

I made it! I'll do a video showing how I did it.

[@normaalmanza6014]

Gayle Thompson going to look it up thank you

[@merryclicker]

We could also use a video on how to sharpen the straight blades.

[@jenniferglover40]

Use a regular knife sharpener. One you can pull the blade through. That works for me

[@nohorabuitragocardona256]

Genial, felicitaciones.

[@madeathome5211]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@Vonnies1929]

Thank you it's beauitful

[@mythlover20]

This is so beautiful. I never knew there were so many options for clay apart from sculpture. Do you think this technique could be use to imitate Damascus?

[@Mimismarketva]

Sorry but I'm not sure what you mean by Damascus? Can you tell me more?

[@Mimismarketva]

Is this what you mean? www.polymerclaycentral.com/d_ladder.html

[@mythlover20]

Yes, I think so! Thank you so much for finding it! Have you ever made one before?

[@Mimismarketva]

I was going thru some things yesterday and found on that I did but it must have been years ago. I'll review the instructions and do a video soon.

[@mythlover20]

That would be amazing! Thank you so much! I tried it tonight; but, ended up with an ugly, blended mess. :/

[@pammcgregor]

Ty

[@merryclicker]

(Julie?) Picarello does some interesting mokume gane with the holes left unfilled. It's just a different design.

[@JB-dt9ef]

Thank you, Gayle for the wonderful makume gane tips! Are you by any chance from NC? I think I recognize that cute accent. :)

[@marmite.]

Can you tell me the pasta machine you use and does it come with the motor and how much do they cost,thank you xx

[@Mimismarketva]

Currently I am using a Marcato (Atlas) 150 with motor. It came as a set but you can get them separately. I bought it on Amazon but don't remember how much it was but I think I had some Amazon Gift Cards that helped with the cost. I believe I paid about $150 for the machine and motor. What I had before the Atlas was a Makin's Ultimate Clay Machine with motor. That was a good machine but only a little cheaper maybe $130. If you can find the machine at a craft store and use a coupon then buy the motor on Amazon it would be cheaper. If you shop on Amazon, I would appreciate it if you used my Affiliate link to make your purchase. It doesn't change anything for you but I will make a small commission on the sale. Thanks for watching!

[@candigates3291]

So cool hank you

[@faithdodd7463]

Could you please tell me what kind of cutters those are?

[@Mimismarketva]

Those are Kemper Cutters. They come in a variety of shapes. I got mine here: polyclayplay.com/cutters/kemper-kutters/

[@미후루루집사]

That's a good day, my friend. Thank you for sharing this beautiful and fun video.I'll visit you often

[@gabrielleg5710]

I love it!!! gracias!!!! bellisimo

[@nuna4307]

Beautiful

[@Mimismarketva]

Thanks!

[@lorehandcreations1002]

was that an electric pasta machine???

[@Mimismarketva]

It is a Marcato Atlas pasta machine with a Norpro Pasta Machine Motor. Both are on my Amazon page if you're interested. bit.ly/2gzoT4LGayleThompson

[@evacarrera2028]

Es hermoso me encanto

[@silverguardiancreations2014]

what kind of plastic was that

[@Mimismarketva]

If you are talking about the plastic sheets I use to put the clay on, if you look further down in the comments, there is a link to where you can get them. Thanks for watching!

[@gladystoledo1192]

Keep it up .god bless

[@orioniks]

👍 😊

[@gladystoledo1192]

Check out jessama tutorial (samantha she's so awesome . She had some nice techniques . She's one of the oldest in polymer clay .

[@Mimismarketva]

I already follow samantha. She's very good.

[@hildalechner2955]

Love earrings

[@ChiquitasCrochet]

Veery pretty

[@estherdroz7122]

Les action ce compréne dans toutes les langues. Faite. Et tessez vous

[@effeldog]

Some times you forget to zoom out again x

[@Mimismarketva]

Yes - I'm very aware of that. This was one of my earlier videos and hopefully I've gotten better! Thanks!

[@kathyakadragonflysmiles301]

I hate auto correct.

[@Mimismarketva]

Me, too!

[@winksartistt3817]

If I don't have a pasta machine, can I just roll it?

[@Mimismarketva]

Yes, of course. It would be a lot more work but it can be done. Just remember to roll the layers really thin.

[@shastanik]

Could you please look up at your camera once in awhile to see if your hands are displayed? There were several minutes where we could only hear your voice and your hands were off camera. Otherwise, nice colour combination, blue and green is my favourite combo.

[@Mimismarketva]

Thanks for your comment. This is one of my earlier videos when I was just learning how to do them myself. I have since then figured out a system where I should be in frame - at least most of the time. I'm trying to do better.

[@hildalechner2955]

Ring

[@savithrik9941]

nice dollar's

[@ОльгаЛапина-т1у]

Нудная бабка.

[@sftraub]

It would have been a respectful gesture to recognize Julie Picarello for inspiring your tutorial since this is her signature style of mokume gane.

[@Mimismarketva]

I know Julie and we've served together on the IPCA Board (formerly NPCG). She is an amazing artist. Meaning no disrespect to her, I did not learn this from her. The guild I was a member of did Mokume Gane using several methods. I took the techniques I liked the best from all of the different techniques used and combined it into this one. If it is the same as Julie's, I'm sure she will agree that there are many similar Mokume Gane techniques. Thanks for looking out for her interests.

[@estherdroz7122]

Blabla blabla ... vous avez oublier de m'offrire des cours en anglais

[@Mimismarketva]

in order to have my videos translated, I need to choose the language. I will be happy to have my videos footnoted in French.

[@Mimismarketva]

Sorry. I can only have my video translated if I do the translation. Since I don't speak French I am unable to do this. BUT I have changed my settings to allow others to translate for me. If you want to do this for me it would be great!

[@Mimismarketva]

This may help! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpjJn4SHbbZ4bLs

[@clb7438]

You are always out of frame

[@Mimismarketva]

Sorry

[@clayboutique]

Funny how you’re the only one who thinks so. Shut up.
