| I've been experimenting with the Mokume Gane technique. Mokume Gane (pronounced moe-koo-may-GAHN-ay) is a Japanese method of fusing together and manipulating metal to achieve a wood grain appearance. Polymer clay artists mimic this process by layering several different colors of clay sheets and thin metal leaf or foil. These layers are then manipulated or distorted and thin sheets are sliced from the stack to reveal the beautiful patterns. By using different colors and materials you can get all kids of different looks. It does take quite a bit of time but it's fun to see what the end results are going to look like. Lots of people use this technique to make beads and jewelry. Here are my first two attempts.   |

On this one I highlighted some areas with glitter. The glitter was put on one piece at a time with a toothpick!  |
