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.
Here is a visual of cutting circles and then rearranging the pieces. It's easy peasy.
This tutorial requires a blade cutter, a acrylic roller and a pasta machine.
Try to select colors that are sure to blend well. Adding a bold color and a light color to the mix really makes the colors blend well.
Directions
