a - Materials
          1 -Started with 6 parts of polymer clay fuchsia(fimo strawberry) and 1 part yellow and a pinch of black then added plenty of yellow and some tempera red color. I will come back and remake this recipe, the color ended like the red in 3/366, stripes of polymer clay, I guess the color I see as cinnabar should be an indian red but darker.
          2 - Wax

b - Tools
          1 - Pasta machine
          2 - Cutter
          3 - Drills
