Demo - faux jade, lapis lazuli, and wood/bone
Dawn is going to show us some Faux techniques. basically you will need a pasta machine, a tile to bake on, a surface to work on and clay.
Clays (I used Premo! for all these):
Jade: translucent, green, and Spanish olive, or a light-ish brown like raw sienna. I experimented with a lot of inclusions for this and found that black pepper worked best; I'll bring a little bag of it (you don't need much).
Lapis: trans, pearl, white, black and 2 or 3 different blues (e.g. cobalt, ultramarine, navy, etc.) and metal foil in gold.
Wood and Bone: trans, pearl, ecru and gold. This makes a light wood (and bone, only a slight difference in technique for wood and bone). For a darker wood grain, instead of gold we can use a darker mica clay like copper or bronze, etc.
Hope to see you all there.
Remember every day is better with polymer clay.
