Mixing your own colors with clay opens up a world of creative possibilities. In this post, we’ll explore how to create a warm, earthy Olive Yellow. Step-by-step, we’ll guide you through the process to achieve this unique shade, perfect for adding a rustic charm to your clay projects.
Supplies
Polymer Clay
Polymer clay comes in a variety of colors. To mix the color Olive Yellow you will need the colors Poppy Seed and Canary Yellow in the Sculpey Souffle brand.
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.
