Mokume Gane is a nice technique to use for showing off bold colors. Below are some of the basics I used to create this heart pendant,
1. Layer 4 contrasting colors of clay. I used 0.5 oz of Premo in the following colors: 18K Gold, Orange, Navy Blue and Spanish Olive. All layers were rolled using the #1 setting on my pasta machine.
2. Cut clay in half and place one half on top of the other. Roll through pasta machine again. Repeat cutting and rolling one more time. You should now have a total of 4 halves placed one on top of the other.
I was in the need for some colorful beads. There is a craft fair coming up soon and I want to apply for a space as a vendor.
One of the requirements is a photo of your booth. Since the holidays, my finished pieces have dwindled (yeah, good sales this last season).
Anyway, I need more bracelets and necklaces to fill out my display. My bead stash is low so it's time to make some additional beads. Time to replenish my stash.

This morning my goal was to get up really early and start working on the pendants I wanted to create today. I must admit, I did not get up as soon as my alarm went off but I only hit the snooze button a few times.
I have a craft fair quickly approaching in January 2015 and need some more jewelry pieces for my display table.
Now, on to the pendants. The polymer clay colors chosen were all Premo Accent colors of 1oz size bars. The colors are Bronze, Peacock Pearl, 18k Gold and Navy Blue.
