January Meeting Notes & Supply List

The January meeting of the Central Mississippi Polymer Clay Guild will be on Saturday, January 20th, at 10:00 a.m. at the Pearl Library, Pearl, Mississippi.  Joyce will take the lead for this meeting.  We will be going over Julie Picarello’s technique for Mokume Gane. If you don’t already have it, you might want to purchase a copy of Julie’s book “Patterns in Polymer Clay”. Joyce has seen this book at regular book stores and at Joann’s Fabric who still lets you use coupons for books.  It is an excellent reference book for the mokume gane technique.  

Clay Supplies:
A color palette – basic: You will need 4 colors that go together but you will want 2 that are dark and 2 that are light. To help you with these color palettes you may be interested in mixing colors from the attached charts. You don’t have to use only colors from a package of clay. It’s a choice that is up to you to make.
