c - Techniques

2. Tube to be extruded and Mokume gane layers

          1 -I made the tube layers of different sizes, vary between 1 and 6, depending on the mat left from each material. Cut 3 disks for each material and also added some turquoise dried and run trough a pasta machine( was looking more like rice) as a disk.
          2 - For the layers I run them at setting 8, then placed each contrasting 3 together and between them silver leaf.
          3 -For the blocks in image 3 I got all the rest materials cut them very very small and mixed them with a 10 cm/5cm silver leaf or gold(the smaller one) and made a block of out them keeping them as natural as possible.
          4 - Beads and drops are made from scrap left from the Mokume gane layers.

          5 - To make the turquoise beads I used paint with turquoise bits and left it to dry 1-2 days then put it all together and when I needed I cut chunks of it in small bits again and mixing it with 1xwhite+2xturquoise polymer clay

          - For the cubes at the end I used chunks of white, big mistake
          - colors aren't quite accurate
          - all this is unbaked, they will look more transparent when they will be cured
