Preheat oven to 275 °F. Test temperature with oven thermometer for perfectly cured clay. Condition all clay by kneading until it’s soft and smooth or running it through the Clay Conditioning Machine for several passes on the widest setting. Fold the clay in half after each pass and insert the fold side into the rollers first.

Mix together equal amounts of Silver and Pearl

Create a Purple tinted Translucent by mixing together 1/4 oz of Purple with 2 oz of Translucent

Create three more tinted Translucent sheets using Violet, Cobalt Blue Hue and Ultramarine Blue.

Create a stacked slab of clay as follows, from the bottom up:•Four thickness of light Silver at the #1 setting on the Clay Conditioning Machine •Silver leaf •Cobalt Blue Hue tint at the #4 setting on the Clay Conditioning Machine •Silver leaf •Violet tint at the #4 setting on the Clay Conditioning Machine •Silver leaf •Ultramarine Blue tint at the #4 setting on the Clay Conditioning Machine •Silver leaf •Purple tint at the #4 setting on the Clay Conditioning Machine •Silver leaf •Pearl at the #4 setting on the Clay Conditioning Machine •Black at the #4 setting on the Clay Conditioning Machine This is how the stack should look from the side.

Spread a thin layer of baby powder on the top of the stack. Impress the stack with a variety of tools to poke through all the layers.

The stack may come a bit apart while impressing it with the tools. Re-form to the stack by pressing at the sides to return it to its original state. Use the Acrylic Clay Roller to flatten the top surface

Stick the stack firmly to your work surface so that it won’t slide. Using the Super Slicer, slice very thin layers off of the top of the stack. Save the pieces that you cut away.

Roll out Blue Pearl clay at the #1 setting. Place the slices on the sheet of Blue Pearl. Flatten the surface of the clay when all the slices are applied, and roll through the Clay Conditioning Machine at the #1 setting. On the left is the Mokume Gane stack, and on the right the slices have been applied to the Blue Pearl, and run through the Clay Conditioning Machine

Roll out Blue Pearl at the #4 setting. Use the box as a guide to cut out sides and bottom to fit inside. Line the box with white glue and let dry to tacky. Line the box with the blue clay, and smooth the inner edges.
