But the Pantone Spring color, Tangerine Tango is a cheery shade of orange with a hint of pink.
While mixing up this yummy color my brain was conjuring up all sorts of combinations and uses for this shade. I kept imagining floral bouquets of gerbera daisies, tulips and poppies.
I created several clay blends combining both the Tangerine Tango and Cabaret with a yellow (Solar Power).
I then used these blends to create this floral shawl pin which is now listed in our Etsy shop.
I was also experimenting with a new texture sheet I bought using the sutton slice technique to create some fun new buttons with left over pieces of my blends.
So I have two recipes to share with you for the Tangerine Tango using Kato polyclay. My original recipe has a lot of pearl so makes a great mica shift.
Tangerine Tango
(Mica Shift)
8 parts orange
1 part magenta
8 parts pearl
If you do not want to use so much pearl, you can substitute it with a smaller amount of white mixed with transluscent. Here is a 2nd recipe I created using some of my white mix along with the pearl so it still has a nice shimmer to it.

8 parts orange
1 part magenta
5 parts pearl
3 parts white mix #1-2*
Tomorrow I will share with you the clay recipe for the bright yellow, Solar Power.
