these switchpaletes are made from polymer clay using a technique called mogukame gane. very thin layers of polymer clay in various colors, (purple,fuschia,gold and white were used in these), are stacked on top of each other.... them stamped,( I used stars and spirals),...then thin slices are shaved off the top. This process created the pattern seen. One of my favorite techniques. You never really know how it will look when it's finished, it's always a surprised and always a good one...well almost!
Hi! glad you stopped to visit!I'll be keeping track of new endeavors here, successful or not, and keeping notes on them. I enjoy the support of fellow glass artists at www.cgge.org . I have a website at www.lnglassworks.com along with a store on etsy- www.papernclay.etsy.com , please stop by and browse. I am always adding new things and I'd be happy to do custom work if you think you might like something special.
