Step 1

Slice a piece of black, white, Pacific Blue, Cherry Red and Tangerine clay from each block.

Step 2

Knead and condition until mouldable.

Step 3

Add a little black clay to your conditioned Pacific Blue clay to make navy.

Roll out each colour into different thicknesses of snake shapes, lay them next to each other, vertically, in the following order: white, Tangerine, Cherry Red, navy and white. Use an acrylic roller, or clay machine, to flatten and blend as shown.

Step 5

Roll out more navy to about 1/8" [0.3 cm] thick and cut two semi-circle shapes.

Step 6

Use a small stylus tool to create a hole in the centre towards the top of the hexagons and the bottom, flat, side of the semi-ovals. The holes should line up, as shown.

Step 7

Bake for 30 minutes at 230°F (110°C). Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
