Project Instructions
- Getting Started:
Start with clean hands, unwrap and knead clay until soft and smooth, or condition by running clay though a Pasta Machine. We recommend using a designated machine for clay purposes only. When working with multiple colors, clean hands with soap and water or baby wipes (we have found that baby wipes work best) before switching colors. Shape clay, pressing pieces firmly together. Wash hands after use.
- Baking:
First, mix together two parts of Pearl with 1 part of Mauve to create Pearl Mauve.
Sheet the Pearl Mauve using the Acrylic Clay Roller to about 1/8” thick.

Pinch pieces of Graphite Pearl spots - 1/4” to 3/8” in size - and press them randomly onto the Pearl Mauve sheet.

Pinch smaller pieces of Mauve and press them in the middle of each of the larger Graphite Pearl spots. This gives you a pattern that looks like an animal print.

Position the Fashion Icon template on the sheet of clay to determine where you would like the pattern. Cut out two shapes using the 5-in-1 Clay Tool with the knife blade.

Flip one of the shapes over backwards before cutting out the center with the smallest Irregular Rectangle Cutter. This way, the little cut outs in the middle will be mirror imaged.

Flip them both right side up. Smooth all the cut edges with your fingertips.
