Polymer clay purple and pink color mix - 66 of 366 creative days

66/366 - Color mix for flowers and more

The mix is done regardless of company and turned out pretty well.
It goes well specially when you want to soften FIMO hardness.
Studio Sculpey is a very soft clay that goes softer with hand heat(specially if you have warm hands by default). Studio and PREMO Sculpey seems to remain soft over the years compared to FIMO classic.
So please see below the color mix that I played with (that's why the random combos), was a lot of fun and element of surprise.

1. Premo Sculpey Accents Pearl - 5101

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.

Textured stamp molds - 20 of 366 creative days

 For twentieth day I have done few molds and their negatives for stamping and more insertion molds I plan doing in the future. I have done them using polymer clay Fimo effect transparent, cause I want to use them as color mixing example as well.
