Mokume gane polymer clay color combos

Polymer mokume gane has been around for so long that it can become, well, boring. But I couldn't take my eyes off Rebecca Geoffrey's latest take on the technique. Her polymer billet is made from layers of Skinner blend jelly rolls laid side by [...]

Here is another set of Mokume Gane polymer clay sheets. This time the colour scheme is more muted than the ice cream flavours, and are a combination of creams, greys , blues and greens. The patterns and colours made me think of seafoam I'll be using some of these MG sheets to combine with Bronze, next week.

Marilyn Ray Knopic and Mary Beth Hanson Hobbs collaborate on the timeless technique of Mokume Gane using polymer clay, alcohol inks and metallic leafing.

Makume Gane techniques involve thin layers of clay that are manipulated in some way, then shaved off to reveal the pattern. These are the thin sheets of clay that Mary Ann started with. After she had her thinly rolled sheets, she sprinkled some with glitter and added gold leaf foil to others. Lilian demonstrates how to add a gold leaf foil layer after which she added more layers of…
