Sculpey Polymer Clay - the Mokume Gane Technique

Mokume Gane is a Japanese method of manipulating metal to achieve a wood grain appearance. Polymer clay artists have borrowed from this art form to create magnificent patterns. The results are beautiful and impressive - and it's easier to make than you might think. We'll show you three techniques and ideas of what you can create using these incredible designs.

I have been purchasing items from Dick Blick since High School, over forty years, and have never been disappointing. Thanks for all the tips and tricks!

Excellent video. Very informative and professionally produced. The instructor is relaxed and effective; I have seen other videos that take 3 times as long and give, maybe, a quarter of the information-with "uhm" and "er" every sentence, along with extraneous information. I hope they have more videos that are this good!

Great video! Easy to understand and good examples. Thanks!

When making the pens, remove the ink cartridge before baking. Bake at 250° for 15 minutes.  Once they have cooled, you can reninsert the ink cartridge.

I love your polymer clay tutorials- they are fast paced but very detailed. I love this technique (along with the mica shift technique) and I can't wait to think of a project to try this out on :) Thanks for the upload!

Thats one of the coolest things I have ever seen! WOW ! Cant wait to try it.

[shooaholic]

you for making this SO easy to understand.

@KissMyChristin Yes, you can roll the clay with a roller instead, the pasta machine just makes it easier to achieve a consistent thickness

[Blick_Art]

@cullennclann Yes - once you make your project, follow the directions on the package and bake it in an oven or toaster oven so it becomes hard and permanent.

"now for the fun manipulation part"
I've never heard that sentence before XD Love This Channel!

Stephanie Merritt  If you do not have a pasta machine, you may also use a rolling pin. Place your clay between two sheets of wax or parchment paper to prevent sticking. You may also purchase a pasta machine on our website, dickblick.com!
