Supplies
Polymer Clay
Polymer clay comes in a variety of colors. To mix the color Gunmetal you will need the colors Poppy Seed and Cornflower Blue in the Sculpey Souffle brand.
Nice vibrant blue that you can use as is or for color mixing.
Black is a great polymer clay color to mix with to darken your color.
Condition the Clay
To condition the clay you will need an acrylic roller or my preferred method is using a pasta machine for clay.
A pasta roller makes it easy to condition your polymer clay. It also helps achieve a consistent thickness of your clay when creating earrings.
An Acrylic roller is a helpful tool to condition out your clay and make it more pliable and easier to work with.
