More Clay and Goodies

Our clay supply has been dwindling and I was holding off ordering more until the weather has cooled somewhat.  Even though the evenings have been cooler the days can still get fairly warm and I didn't want our clay to partially cure while in transit.

I am a happy camper now that the our many blocks of clay have arrived along with a few goodies like the new seamless cutters in the teardrop shape, gilder's paste and one of Helen Breil's new texture sheets.

I wanted to try out the new texture sheet and happened to have some Honey Gold and French Roast clay on my table so made a few new buttons using a mokume gane technique.

Pantone 2012 Color Honey Gold and Hooked on Polyvore

The last Pantone fall 2012 fashion clay color recipe I have to share with you is Honey Gold.  This rich golden yellow is a slightly muted version of a previous Pantone color called Golden Glow which I have used as my base color.

Honey Gold

4 parts Golden Glow (see recipe # 6-6) *

1 part Ecru Mix (see recipe # 2-8) *

* These base mix recipes are found in my Clay Color System tutorial.

I don't have any clay pieces to show you yet as I have been busy working on filling bead and button orders.  I do have this collage I created on Polyvore some time ago, however, combining the Honey Gold with French Roast. I came across various Polyvore collages on Pinterest so decided to check it out for myself the other day and once I started playing around I was hooked!  It was rather fun and but also addicting and reminded me of my early years playing with paper dolls.  It is a fun way to combine various colors and textures.  You will find more collages and Pantone color inspirations on my Pinterest board.

New Color Recipe Cards and Pantone Fall 2012 Colors Rhapsody and Titanium

I want to announce that my new clay color recipe cards are now ready for printing out onto 4" x 6" index cards.  This makes printing them out much easier and more convenient instead of having to cut them out of the heavy cardstock type paper.  The cards are in black print only so they take very little ink.  They are now included with my Clay Color System as a second and much easier printing option.

If you have already purchased my Clay Color System and would like the new recipe card format, e-mail me direct (2goodclaymates at gmail.com) with a reference as to where you purchased my tutorial (Ex: Etsy or ArtFire) and an invoice # or date of purchase and I will e-mail you back with the new card system and printing instructions.  If you purchased the tutorial through Etsy, you can e-mail me or send an Etsy convo (the link is on your purchase invoice).

So here are two more Pantone Fall 2012 clay color recipes for you:  You will notice that the Titanium is basically a grey and the Kato Silver is a pretty close match to this.

  

Rhapsody

2 parts Kato Violet

1 part Ecru Mix (recipe # 2-8) *

Titanium

1 part Kato Silver

I haven't had time to play around with these colors in a combination yet so will have something for you a little later.  In the meantime, have fun mixing up some of these new colors!
