How to Make a Translucent Marbled Polymer Clay Slab

Pick your colors—I chose blue, turquoise, and violet. Cut the clay into small pieces and mix them together. Once you like the blend, add alcohol ink in a contrasting color (I used white, since translucent clay darkens when baked). TIP: Bake a small test piece first—translucent clay often changes color in the oven. Wearing gloves, coat the pieces evenly with ink. After it dries, I added some gold foil for a bit of sparkle. Mix again, then press the pieces into a block so they stick together. Slice the block and arrange the slices into a slab. I used depth guides to roll it out since the mix was too soft for the pasta machine. Once it’s the right thickness, cut your shapes and bake. I turned mine into organic, asymmetrical statement earrings! #polymerclay #polymerclaytutorial #polymerclaytechniques #polymerclayslab #polymerclayart
