Since
we have spent the last two weeks on the pasta machine for working
with clay I thought this would be the perfect time to show you my
favorite technique for the pasta machine. Today I am showing you the
Skinner Blend. This is a way of making a very pretty blend of two (or
more) colors that is very evenly blended. We will be using this in
future doll food projects.
There
are really only a few “secrets” to this technique first be sure
to use well conditioned clay that is not too soft. Try to make sure
both colors of clay are close in their texture. Start out with pieces
of clay that are the same size and thickness. Only run the clay
through the pasta machine in the one direction and always fold the
same way.
If
you follow these rules you will succeed at this pretty technique.
Later I will show you some variations that kind of break a few of the
rules.
