Really like this technique and you make it look so easy. Both color combos you showed are very pretty. I love making art journals and I think this "veneer" would be gorgeous as a cover. TFS! Oh and Lisa, I can actually hear you this time without having my volume at 100%. Yay, your producer got it right.
Yay ! Thank you so much for this video ! I've been wanting to learn this technique for ever and it turned out to be so easy it's crazy ! Thank you !!!!
i watched a video doing this effect but shemissed a couple of steps out,result,mud! thank you so much for the share as i have seen feathers and leaves that have been made using this effect and they are really nice. im getting my clay stach out NOW to try again
Hi Lee, I'm glad to hear you like the technique. The video was shot with all of the steps shown in real time. The only thing we didn't show was placing the demo piece in the oven, but I did discuss baking and demonstrated the trimming a baked sheet. Here are a few tips that individually or combined can result in your clay scraps turning into "mud." 1. Not having enough contrast between light and dark scraps in your snake. 2. Over-twisting the compressed scrap snake (I only twist 7 - 10 times and do this all along the length as shown). 3. Folding the sheet and rolling through the clay machine over and over. After making the drag lines, I only roll it through one time and in the same direction (stripes facing up) through each thickness setting until I get the thickness I want. Any one of these or a combination of them can cause the blending into mud that you describe is happening. I hope this helps. Write me here if I can further assist you with this technique.
I had a happy accident with my scraps. Ran them through the pasta machine a couple of times, then. The most magical picture showed up. I baked it and framed it.
No Maureen, but I was a regular guest on the Carol Duvall Show (HGTV) and also made appearances on DIY Network's Jewelry Making and PBS's Beads Baubles and Jewels. That's where you might remember me from.
Lisa Pavelka I miss Carol and Aleenes. Sad to see that DIY and HGTV no longer have any crafting shows even even though crafting and sewing are both more popular than they've been in decades! Makes me very thankful for TH-cam and skilled designers and developers like you!
WOW! I'm a beginner and you just taught me something very valuable -- thank you!
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!

Glad the volume is better. We try to improve with each and every video. So appreciate the feedback. Thanks again! -Michelle
That was great! I never thought of making bookmarks in this manner. Love it, thanks.
