Clay Techniques with a Pasta Machine
|
IntroductionThe Pasta Machine ... Your Basic Tool for Creativity Pasta machines are terrific tools for making more than just pasta! The pasta machine allows you to easily blend the clay to create stripes and intricate patterns for making unique beads, embellishments and baubles. Polymer clay is easy to handle and fun to work with. It hardens to a permanent finish in a regular kitchen oven, or in a toaster oven. Dedicate a pasta machine specifically to clay. Once used for clay, don't use it again for food preparation. No matter what art medium you work with, pattern is important and this book shows you how to make a variety of patterns When you go to a fabric store or paper store, you want to find the perfect grouping of colors, textures and scale. Making the patterns is only part of the fun. The projects presented here will stimulate your imagination with ideas for turning your clay into awesome art. This book shows how to use the resulting sheets of patterned clay for everything from light switch plates to book covers to beads. In no time at all you will be designing original jewelry and gift items your family and friends will treasure.
