4 Color Mica Mokume Gane - Polymer Clay Central
PolymerClayCentral.com
Supplies:
- 4 Different Colors of Polymer Clay (2 Light Colors, 2 Dark Colors)
- Pasta Machine
- Tissue Blade
- Shade Tex Texture Sheet
- Misting Bottle of Water
Step 1:Roll out all 4 colors of clay on the thickest setting of the pasta machine. Stack one of your light colored clays and one of your dark colored clays and run them through the pasta machine on the thickest setting.
Step 2:Stack the other light colored clay on top of the left over dark colored clay and run them through the pasta machine, again on the thickest setting.
Step 3: Place the first stack on top of the second stack so the the layers go light, dark, light, dark. You will have 4 layers of clay in this sheet. Run this combined stack through the pasta machine on the thickest setting.
Step 4: Cut the combined sheet in half, and then stack the two halves. You will now have 8 layers of clay in this stack. Run this stack through the pasta machine on the thickest setting.
Step 5: Cut the sheet in half again, and stack. You now have 16 layers of clay in the sheet. Run through pasta machine on the thickest setting.
Step 6: Mist your texture sheet with water, and put your layered sheet of clay on it.
Step 7: Run the texture sheet and clay through the pasta machine on the thickest setting. Let the textured clay rest for a while before moving on to the next step.
Step 8: Using a very sharp tissue blade, begin to slice off the raised bumps from the textured sheet of clay. Slightly curving your blade helps, and you can brush off those pesky little pieces of clay from the sheet with your fingertip. Don't slice too deeply!!

Faux Cloisonne with Mica - Rach0113
Cover the chipboard shape in black/color gesso (or acrylic paint) don't forget the edges and back side.
(Or use black Polymer Clay base.)
Use a Watermark Stamp Pad and dab the pad on to entire surface of the painted chipboard. The watermark stamp pad will make the enamel stick. (Product used: (BLACK) Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel. The enamel MUST be black! No clear!)
Now using the watermark stamp pad and embossing enamel coat the piece a total of three times working on the projects surface in layers. Don't forget to use the heat gun after each application to set the embossing enamel.
Dab the triple coated enamel surface with a versamark watermark stamp pad (to moisten the surface to make the powder stick better) and then use "Perfect Pearls" Banger acid-free perfect pearl (mica powder) decorate the surface in random blotches with colors of your choice. (Any mica powder will work. Perfect Pearls & Pearl Ex are used in the video.)
Choose bold and open patterned stamps and make sure to ink the stamp with permanent gold ink prior to pressing it down. (Product used for permanent gold ink: Archival pigment ink pad "Brilliance" Galaxy Gold- The ink needs to be permanent upon heat setting)
Lastly use your heat gun on the piece prior to pressing your ink filled stamp down. The heat gun will soften the layers enough for the embossing to work its way around the stamp decoration. Slowly pull up the stamp and there will be an indent left behind from the stamp- the gold metallic ink will be recessed in to the stamped area.
