Mokume gane technique in polymer clay 1 - history and color theory 121

[@nathparfait]

It's very interesting to know the history of the mokume and the rules to choose colors, thank you !

My pleasure!

I love the background information in your tutorials as well as the drawings and pictures you use for explanation. I have zero art background and I don’t have any understanding of colors. I have multiple color wheels and can look at them all day long, but it was your photo with the definition of hue, tint, tone and shade that started to sink in. It was simple-black background with white lettering with the wording short and to the point. I kept a photo of that and referred back to it when you showed your color version of hue, tint, tone and shade. By the time you got to the clay and started mixing colors, I actually understood what was happening! Thank you!

Wonderfu;! I am really glad! I try to cater to all levels of expertise in my channel, but I have to say that I do a little bit more for the beginner-intermediate level. I am so glad that it helped you!

Day, I also am stumped by the "color wheel" and what colors work with what colors...your explanation was super and helped me greatly. Picking colors is my hang up when I want to do a project. With limited $ I fear wasting clay and ultimately get nothing done. You have helped me be braver which is a BIG DEAL. Thank you!

Very informative and will keep in mind while choosing colours for my work. Thank you once again!

Thank you!

This video is packed full of information. I think I've exceeded my quota of learning new things for the day!!! My brain is full! lol Just about everything (except that it was a Japanese metalworking technique) was brand new info. to me. I really appreciate that you gave us the history and timeline of the application of the technique to clay. Looking forward to part II.

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you! I will try to do at least the first part of part 2 - waiting on my clay order that might be delayed, I explained in my blog. But I'll do at least the first part.

You're so welcome!

[@deborahrice5988]

This was great Day! I think history is important to a technique, and I'm a color theory addict. Loved the video!

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you, Deborah!

[@dejamagickstudios6048]

That was amazing! Thank you! I haven't learned yet about color theory. This was very helpful. :)

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you! Still working on a more detailed tutorial on color theory but there's a lot of image editing and possible animation. As soon as the drs fix me and I can stay awake longer in a day, I will be able to finish it faster lol

[@bettymerritt2037]

Hi, I watched this yesterday and loved it. I want to see it again, but the video won't load. Any suggestions?

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

It's an issue with whatever device you are watching these videos on. If it's a laptop, be aware that there were recently a Windows software update as well as the following browser updates. And I know there's been phone OS updates as well. The video runs just fine on all my devices. Do you see any error message?

Hi everyone and Day, where did you get the long, firm tissue blade? Babs

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

The long firm one is the Amaco that can be found at Hobby Lobby. It's much more rigid than the other Amacos that can be bought online. But it's not good at all for shaving mokume gane. I'd suggest for that the Jili blade that Polyclayplay brought in at my recommendation, that is the best blade to use for this. Now you can even get it cheaper in a kit with a 4" blade that is perfect for slicing canes polyclayplay.com/8-flexible-clay-blade-in-storage-case-plus-bonus-blade/?aff=2

*laughing at the person who put a thumbs down. Are you upset that you can't say anymore that you're the one who invented this stuff?
