I've been playing around with a technique called Mokume Gane. Now my very basic understanding of this technique is that it originated with those who made swords for the Samurai's in Japan. Basically the belted sheets of different metal together before making the blade. The process left patterns created by the different coloured metals. Should you wish to correct me on this, go right ahead. ;-)


Basically the process with the clay is multiple layers of coloured clay with a sheet of silver foil between each. Smoosh whatever you can lay your hands on into the stacked sheets and viola! Lufley patterns to play with.

Some tealight holders....these are made from translucent polymer clay and are wrapped around a glass vessel. You don't need the glass but I find that it makes them stronger and less likely to break.

There was lots of blended goodness created over the month of March. Most have now been made up into necklaces. For your viewing pleasure.....
