Polymer Clay Tutorial Mokume Gane Mica Shift Pendant Design Pattern Idea Dry Brush Technique How To

In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to create a fun and colorful pendant, doing what I like to call the "dry brush technique."" This technique reminds me of dry brush painting, especially on pre-baked clay.
Link to 2nd tutorial: How to make a spiral bail from polymer clay.
• Polymer Clay Tutorial ...
This is a 2 n 1 demo, as this mokume gane will have mica shift effects when using metallic or pearl clays. The clay used is Sculpey Premo. All colors are mixed by myself, so unfortunately, they are not available in stores. However, Premo has a variety of colors that are similar to the ones I've used.
I hope you enjoy it!

I just love this Mokume Gane technique you created and have now watched the video about 10 times as I tried to follow you while making my own. I’m not done yet but I felt I needed to let you know how awesome this is❣️ I’ve also now watched a couple of the videos of your UV resin and mirror/chrome powders and I love the way you finished off the edges. Now I have more of your videos to watch so I can catch up. Thank you for sharing your work and processes, they are great and your pieces are beautiful ♥️🩵💜💛💙 I just had to subscribe!!! Oh, and I think your drawl is endearing and I enjoy listening to you. I’m originally from southern Louisiana and born in Mississippi, so your accent brings back memories 😊 Thank you so much, again, for sharing your work ✨🙏✨

I love this so much!! The colors are just gorgeous!! I wish you had the recipes for them because they fit so well together! 😍😍

[@Caricoclay]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Crazy thing is I never write recipes and I never make the same color twice. Well, not exactly. I get close. But, I can give you an idea of the true colors I started with here. They are blue-green, like the Crayola crayon. Lol. Purple but lightened to resemble a medium lavender. Coral on the peachy orange side, and a berry/mauve red. My accent color was gold but lightened. The blending also helps to make the colors compliment each other. I hope this helps a little.😊

[@jamiconroy7841]

Nice.....thanks for sharing!!

[@jilllloyd-jones624]

Hi Amy, Jill here in the U.K. thanking you for a fab, creative, artistic and easy to follow video. Thanks for sharing. Question..at the beginning you have 2 pieces of translucent but unless I missed it…didn’t see you use it. Do you just add it to the bake before baking?

[@Caricoclay]

Hi Jill, I did use the 2nd piece, but if you blink, you may miss it. 😂 During the circle cutting part of the tutorial, I'm trying to place the cut-out circles where they are most opposite in color on the pattern. The last 2 large circles didn't have a home, so I grabbed the extra piece of translucent, placed a couple of veneer strips that I liked on it, and cut out the 2 remaining circles. It's at 14:21 in the video. Thanks for watching! ❤

[@colibri7900]

The work is beautiful! I have a question: why you choose translusent backing? What is the benefit of it? Doesn't do another backing the same work?

[@Caricoclay]

I picked translucent because it's what I had that was light colored. I would've used white but didn't have it. Lighter backgrounds affect the brightness of the top layer. However, you can use any clay color.

[@anapauladasilvaguimaraes7810]

[@barbarakrokosz6051]

[@rehlorocco]

Very Cool !!

[@Caricoclay]

Thank you!

[@Tschij]

Amazing! Wooooooow!

[@ameswho9548]

This is super cool. I love it & it's not too complicated. I do have a question though. Your slabs look a lot thicker than mine do. colored clay-4th setting...accent clay-5th setting, right? I have an Atlas pasta machine that goes to 7 so maybe it's my machine making the slabs too thin. Any suggestions? thank you. I wish just ONE thing I make would turn out.

[@Caricoclay]

Hi, sorry to be so long in responding. I also have an atlas 150 which goes to 7. I rolled the colors on #4 and the translucent on #5. When you shave and add the strips to the translucent piece some slightly overlap but after burnishing with the wax paper and roller the veneer levels off probably to about a #4. I hope this helps. Just keep practicing. It will come together.

[@ameswho9548]

@@Caricoclay Thank you so much for replying. Your info is very helpful. Very kind of you to make the effort to explain.

[@deboday5490]

Wow i love this! Where did you get the metal stencil?

Thank you. I actually got three of these metal templates from someone in a polymer clay destash group on FB. However, I believe CoolTools has plastic templates.

Hi again. I can't find the comment I just wrote to add to it. The 2 color slab AND the accent slab together don't even look as thick as just your one color slab. m Can you just come over to show me? I'll make the coffee.
