Step 1
Take clay out of package and work fairly quickly (do not condition clay unless hand rolling-roll to 1/8 of inch)
Run through pasta machine and gently pull apart to get full length
Step 2
Cut length wise in 1inch strips. Then cut into 4 inch or longer strips
Step 3
Place paper towels down and gently stack all of the cut clay together
Lay 2-3 strips of cut clay on a paper towel and stamp all over with an assortment of stamps
Set aside and do 2-3 more strips until done. Once all the clay is done let it dry for 20-30 minutes
Step 4
Paint frame with Ranger Black Dabber paint. Paint back of frame as well
Step 5
Lay Ranger Craft Sheet paper down and a layer of paper towel. Work with one clay strip at a time. Spray half of the strip with LuminArte Radiant Rain Spray Mister and the other half with Radiant Rain Dauber with mister top replacing the dauber top
Step 6
Dry with heat gun (do not boil paint) going from one direction to the other to create a blend of colors in the middle of strip. Colors will appear darker; however, this will change when finish is applied
Step 7
Rub several LuminArte mica colors and pure pigment colors on surface of clay with your fingers, moving into the grooves of the stamp
Step 8
Spray with clear fixative and let dry. Place frame in front of you and cut strips in a Quilt Pattern or puzzle. Design your layout.
Step 9
Use your permanent marker and do all the edges of the clay pieces. Put them back in your original layout as you complete each one
Step 10
Apply glue to the back of a clay piece (distribute glue evenly). Continue until all pieces are done
