Mokume gane - Part 2, layering and stacking - polymer clay tutorial 123

This is the second part of the tutorial on the mokume gane technique - how to actually combine the colors and how to stack the layers. I am trying to separate the different aspects of it into units that would be assimilated easier, and also, because the subject is fairly big and there are many elements that contribute to achieving a really special mokume gane.
In part 3 I will be talking about the different types of layering. Yes, there are many types of layering in mokume gane :)
Happy claying!

I buy my Premo, Fimo and Pardo clays and many other supplies from PolyClay Play.

Wow! Thank you for such an informative tutorial!!💖

[artistryinv]

that's one of the prettiest examples I've seen!

[deborahrice]

Great color theory, and I love the thin layer of the orange-yellow surrounding  the blue.  I hadn't run across that, so thanks bunches!   I'm looking forward to part 3. :-)

[malunicolette]

Very nice, I love that you explain the theory, because you can apply it to any combination of colour.. Thanks

[lizzywurmann]

What a great tutorial and beautiful results!

[janedoe]

I was getting worried about you since I hadn't seen a new video in a few days. Not that I expect a new video from you everyday, but that had been your upload schedule lately. I hope you are feeling ok.

What a difference between the two mokume gane stacks! I thought the first one wasn't too bad...until you showed us the second one. You have me thinking about my color choices for all my polymer clay projects in a new way. Love your videos about color theory!!

Would you recommend the freezer a minute when slicing ? Would that help ? Love this 🤟🏻🥰💋

Bonjour Day, magnifique mokumé gane, les couleurs sont sublimes, mais pourquoi tu coupes des petits morceaux et pas une tranche très très fine entière, quelle différence ça fait ????
Merci beaucoup et bravo !!!!
Gros bisous

This is a wonderful tutorial. I would like to suggest that let your clay rest for a while before you do the slices.

[Sweetness]

The orangish yellow looks good to me when your cutting but it looks beautiful

[debbierhodes]

If you whip your blade off after each slice you can get a good slice off your stack.

I'm terrible at slicing. I love the mokume gane technique, but I'm so bad at slicing it puts me off.

[MsLemonPeach]

Nice work. But your blade is very dull.
