Ombre Maple Leaf Earrings || PolymerClay Tutorial

Making skinner blend with polymer clay gives a mesmerizing ombré blend. People do cut triangles / curves etc to make the colors blend. This is the very basic way of doing skinner blend for your polymer Clay projects. In this tutorial I used 2 metallic Clays ( Premo Accents) which makes the sheet of clay shines well in light ✨ gives a satin kinda look. I used very little amount of clay for a mini blend which good enough for 2-3 pairs of earrings. I finished 2 pairs and some scrap left still. Skinner blend you can do with 2 colors or many colors of clay . Better use similar brands with same curing time & temperature. To Make A Skinner Blend:
• Polymer Clay: few colors (equal size )
• Roller Pin & Pasta machine. First step in any clay art is to condition the clay until workable. This is so important otherwise the final output may not be strong. The method I adopted from Cindy Lietz is the easiest for small batches.
• After conditioning; form drop shapes .
• Arrange the colors in a way you like
• Press one color to another on the rolling surface .
• Use roller pin to make it flat.
• Fold the sheet upward ⤴️ every time before rolling.
• Then feed through pasta machine . Repeat the same folding until you are satisfied with the blend. If you prefer you can back this sheet with another solid color sheet of clay. Now you see a beautiful blend. Thanks to Judith Skinner who introduced this technique to the PC peeps.
🍁 To make maple leaves , i plucked few small real leaves from the tree. Press the leaf on the #polymerclay veneer we prepared . This gives the texture on clay . Cut it along the impressions using a sharp scalpel . The small leftover pieces run through pasta machine again for a lighter blend ( which i shown in earrings making part of the demo) The first cut leaves already sold before capturing the #tutorial . Cure the leaves in a preheated oven for 45 minutes . Let it cool its own.

Then added the required findings according to the desigh plan. This is good for fall . Because of commissioned work i had to do it earlier 😃.
