Stamped Mokume Gane- part5 YAY!

Condition and roll out in your pasta machine on the 2nd thickest setting a color of clay that goes with your Mokume Gane Stack. I have used a sheet that is 2" x 2", this is a great size for the sample. You can make bigger sheets if you wish, but I find that starting with a little and starting small is sometimes so smart, patience grasshopper!
I have used turquoise again, 1. because I LOVE this color and 2. because it was handy and already mixed.


I have slivered off sections of the stack I made and placed them on the sheet of turquoise.






I have added more slices until my sheet of turquoise is covered with one layer. I try not to over-lap the slices.You can then press these gently on to the sheet of turquoise.
<---- can you spot where I cut the lines with the back of the blade? Oh by the way be very very very careful when you do that.Back of the blade to me means, opposite side of the sharp side.


Turn the setting on your pasta machine back to the thickest setting and roll your sheet with slivers through on the thickest setting.



Turn the sheet of clay 1/4 turn and turn the pasta machine setting down to the 2nd thickest setting and roll the sheet through again. This will flatten all of the slivers on the sheet, you can add more if you wish to fill in holes or you can keep turn the sheet and the setting down each time you roll it through to get thin sheets of design to cover things with.

If the images on the clay stack start too random, destroy the stack again and start slivering off more slices.
This picture is to remind you what the colors and the stack looked like after all of these sections.


I have to go rest now...maybe someday I will post something I made out of this.

Stamped Mokume Gane- part4



Here you can see me using a paper clip as a texture tool!








I am using a heart charm as tool! And if you are real quick you will be able to spot the blooper.





Here is the imprint of an awesome rubber stamp that I have. Don't even ask. The company that made this one doesn't exsist any more. There are tons of other companies that make wonderful spiral stamps though.






Now sliver off slices of the top of the stack with your clay blade. I say sliver because it is easier than trying to take the whole slice.

On to the final part, I am sitting here at this point wondering if it is all worth it...

Stamped Mokume Gane-part3


Cut what comes out of the pasta machine in half and rotate one of the halves so the cut edges are on the same side and stack on top of the other.

Run those through the pasta machine on the thickest setting.









Cut in half. Rotate and stack again. Do not roll through again.











Cut in half again and stack one half on top of the other to form a block.







Now destroy the stack, pent up aggression? Me? Hell no….
I press my stack to a ceramic tile or my work surface or something that will stick to the clay first so after I am done destroying the surface I can sliver off the slices. Press all kinds of stuff into the top surface. Here I am using a piece of filigree to press in to the top surface of the block stack. The marks you see below the filigree area are cut with the back og the clay blade or a knife to make those marks, you will be able to see what it does in some later pictures.
I am seriously thinking about leaving you all hanging here...next

Manifest money through lies?

Maybe we have been going about things the wrong way, maybe we need to change the way we think, maybe we need to be honest and...Manifest Money through Joy.


What we have done for years isn't working, we are all in this together. What we do to others we do to ourselves.

Magic Wand



Remember when you were a child and believed in magic?
I do… I want to feel the magic now; could it be as simple as making a wand of intention? Why not? I made one and I want to share it with you, I want this to bring magic in to your life, in to your creativity, in to your love, in to your awareness and into your heart. Visualize this in your mind and say I do believe in magic, I do, I do.
And so it will be… expect a miracle.
