Mokume gane - Part 2, layering and stacking - polymer clay tutorial 123

[@artistryinv454]

that's one of the prettiest examples I've seen!

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you!

[@deborahrice5988]

Great color theory, and I love the thin layer of the orange-yellow surrounding the blue. I hadn't run across that, so thanks bunches! I'm looking forward to part 3. :-)

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you! Will be here soon!

[@lizzywurmann]

What a great tutorial and beautiful results!

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you!

[@christinaaugustine27]

Awesome tutorial! Love it 👍

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you!

[@malunicolette9447]

Very nice, I love that you explain the theory, because you can apply it to any combination of colour.. Thanks

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you, yes, absolutely! For the next part I will actually choose another color combination to show again how to choose, but with a different area of the color wheel. Then we talk about the CMYK wheel, lol

I was getting worried about you since I hadn't seen a new video in a few days. Not that I expect a new video from you everyday, but that had been your upload schedule lately. I hope you are feeling ok. What a difference between the two mokume gane stacks! I thought the first one wasn't too bad...until you showed us the second one. You have me thinking about my color choices for all my polymer clay projects in a new way. Love your videos about color theory!!

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

I'm ok- well, not worse, just the same. My clay order was late.

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

I'll show more examples in the next parts (yes there's more than one part coming up) and I hope that it will make the whole thing easier to understand and will make color choice easier for you and others. I know many people asked for this so I finally got around to do it.

Magnifique et bien pensé, merci!

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Merci!

[@tishsmiddy71]

Would you recommend the freezer a minute when slicing ? Would that help ? Love this 🤟🏻🥰💋

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Not a minute, 5-10, depending on the brand of clay you used. I normally use the fridge for 30+ minutes or the freezer for 10.

[@MrTenom]

Just wonderful thank you!

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you!

Bonjour Day , magnifique mokumé gane , les couleurs sont sublimes , mais pourquoi tu coupes des petits morceaux et pas une tranche très très fine entière, quelle différence ça fait ???? Merci beaucoup et bravo !!!! Gros bisous Sylvie

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Parce que es mains ne voulaient pas cooperer hier, et je pouvais pas maintenir la lame dans la direction correcte. Bien sur c'est mieux si tu peux couper une tranche entiere

[@ludange4141]

Hooo désolée pour tes mains , je comprends mieux ,gros bisous et à plus tard en live . Sylvie

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Merci!

[@lornasaner1130]

Clay too warm?

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

No, old blade and nerve damage in my hands.

[@kbowler9266]

This is a wonderful tutorial. I would like to suggest that let your clay rest for a while before you do the slices.

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

of course I do that. But this is a tutorial, and I had other things to do that day. I had to do it. Also, it's not the stack, it's my hands that are faulty, read my "about me" section on the main part of the channel.

[@francedumont8103]

J'avais aussi remarqué que la pâte n'avait pas suffisamment reposée avant d'être tranchée. :-)

[@1Sweetness]

The orangish yellow looks good to me when your cutting but it looks beautiful

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Yes, this is an effect I always love to get, the faded aura of color around another color. You can always get it if you sandwich a layer of much thinner clay between two layers of regular one. It will always show on the colors it gets pushed into. I.e., in this stack, it was above blue, so it would show around blue. If I would have turned the stack upside down and deform it that way, it would have shown around the light-tinted orange.

[@debbierhodes8527]

If you whip your blade off after each slice you can get a good slice off your stack.

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Maybe YOU can. Me, as I explained many, many, many times, I have nerve damage in my hands and that's why I can't slice properly.

[@DianaMoon11428]

I'm terrible at slicing. I love the mokume gane technique, but I'm so bad at slicing it puts me off.

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Well why don't I make that the subject of the next Sunday live? Anyway, the blade you have is VERY important. Polyclayplay polyclayplay.com/?aff=2 has a great deal with an 8" and a 4" blade together for about $5. They're the blades I recommend, the best blades I've found to date.

[@DianaMoon11428]

@@KalyanaDesignTutorials Yay! Have you used tissue slicing blades? Julie Picarello uses them but they're very expensive.

[@MsLemonPeach]

Nice work. But your blade is very dull.

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Haha, no, my blade is not dull, my hands are bothering me today so I wasn't managing to hold it properly to cut forward, they kept twiching and aiming it downwards and then I couldn't pull. The joys of having nerve damage in your hands. If you look in the description on my channel, it says "there would be days when I would show you how it's done but not able to do it myself properly". I just wish I could use a tissue blade, but with the unexpected finger movements i get I would run the danger of cutting myself way too often.

[@MsLemonPeach]

O.k. sorry !!! Have a nice weekend!
