33/366

  For the thirty third day I have continued working with the extruded polymer clay stripes and made some beads.

Polymer clay black rainbow beads

    I use slices, cut vertical and  horizontal and then try to swirl the beads. It didn't all ended how I planned but I learned several tricks.

Extruded polymer clay stripes - 31 of 366 creative days

31/366

  For the thirty first day of 366 creative days I have done some testing with extruded polymer clay rainbow stripes from those logs done in the third day.

 
 You can see the stripe combination before extruding and after extruding you can see the heads, tail and two randoms middle. The extruded shape square is about 5 mm, so it wasn't a good idea, probably with more material and a bigger extruder gun would look better.
  I like the rainbow variation very much, I will try on white next time, maybe some transparent as well when I will get my hands on some.

Mixing colors for water and air elements - 30 of 355 creative days

30/366

   I celebrated 30 days(a month) by doing something boring. mixing colors. I really don't like doing it, is boring as hell and a huge waste of time, but, I know they are very useful so I will do them thinking at the future uses.

   I will post the colors after baking them. Only 13 combination this time.

c - Techniques

2. Stripes made out of black and colors

          1 - Black stripes thickest setting, colored stripes on the 5-7 setting(here is 5, I wish I used thinner)

          Unbaked beads. The initial idea was to make 1.5 mm thick hexagonal slices, but those round ones got the best versions with what tools I have.
