This weekend I decided to create another Mokume Gane cane. I decided to start with purple, sea green, turquoise, pearl, and silver. Knowing that I wanted to blend the colors with pearl so my mokume gane slices would shimmer. I began running the polymer clay through the pasta machine. Thank goodness I have a motor for it as it takes many times through the pasta machine to blend and align the mica particles. Finally I was ready to stack the colors and add silver leaf. I impressed several items into the clay to shift the colors and create interesting patterns.
This photo shows the patterns created using adding machine tape holder, chair coaster, and phillips head screwdriver. I will be able to make several items using this cane.
Using a full block of clay I am able to impress different items to change the patterns. These photos show my other cane and the pendant,beads, and pin made using it.


I will share photos when I create jewelry with the pendant and beads. The square is a pin and will have matching earrings.
Have a create day, until later, Karen
OMG -- the colors and the pattern are gorgeous!
