Hello fellow ‘clayers’. I’ve met so many amazing people over the last couple of years, thank you all for your support. My previous booklets have ben well received and lots of you have asked if I would share my ‘recipes’ ie how did I layer my clay, what colours did I use, how many times did I run it through the pasta machine… so I … Continue reading Recipes for Polymer Clay Mokume Gane
Having worked with Polymer Clay, especially using the Mokume Gane technique, I’m always on the look out for items I can use to make patterns in my clay. I discovered a while ago that wooden printing blocks work really well. You have to be prepared to have an abstract feel to your work but that’s part of the appeal of this technique, you never actually … Continue reading Wooden Printing Blocks for Mokume Gane
I shared some tips yesterday on the Facebook Mokume Gane group so I’m just sharing them on here. Mainly so I know where to find them! Canva has a free version or a Pro version. I use it regularly for limbBo booklets and leaflets which I then have printed by Doxzoo who I would really recommend if you want any printing. Texture mats here are … Continue reading Displaying your Polymer Clay Work
I’ve been working with Polymer Clay for a while now. Having done a Lino Printing course a few years ago I decided to experiment and see if I could create my own texture mats. I still had cutters and a range of lino so set about carving some abstract patterns. I love the Mokume Gane technique (lots of posts on here about how to do … Continue reading Using Lino Printing with Polymer Clay
I realised today that I’d not written a blog post for a couple of months and since it’s a wet Saturday in Barnsley I decided to write about using poppy heads as a ‘stamp’ for creating a veneer made using the Mokume Gane technique using Polymer clay. I tried this when I’d just started out using clay and loved the result. However, when you are … Continue reading Polymer and Poppies
Having worked with Polymer Clay for around a year now, I’ve met some incredibly talented and generous people who are always willing to support others. I had a lady message me the other day saying that when she started learning a different craft it was like a ‘secret society’ where people didn’t share. The Polymer Clay community is so different and it feels like there … Continue reading Using Polymer Clay Scraps
Its been a busy few weeks but today is a ‘free day.’ Once I’d done my Team LimbBo admin I decided to have a play! I’m working with some online Instagram friends to put together another free ebook – using scraps in Polymer Clay. I have a large storage box full of scrap clay – I basically throw everything in there for Tommy, LJ and … Continue reading Polymer Clay – trying surface treatments on Scraps
Thank you everyone for your kind comments on my Polymer Clay booklets (see previous posts). I have had some people saying they are still struggling and so I’ve done a really basic outline of how I create my slab ready for shaving. I hope this will work as a guide for you. Any questions just get in touch @janehmokumegane on Instagram. This is a beginners … Continue reading Back to Basics – Mokume Gane Polymer Clay
I love working with Polymer Clay and Mokume Gane is my go to technique. However, I found I was creating colours and veneers but couldn’t always remember how I’d made them! (Yes I know – I’m getting old!) Having personally invested in Canva to create graphics for LimbBo, I found that making booklets was an easy way to remember. I’ve put together this booklet to … Continue reading Polymer Clay Mokume Gane Workbook
