Video #738: After watching todays video, you will never be able to complain about having too much scrap clay, ever again. More Info: Polymer Clay Tutor.\r
\r
In todays video I am going to show you how to use scrap clay to make a patterned Bargello sheet. This technique is perfect for making earrings, pendants, frames, beads, or whatever you want.\r
\r
A few weeks ago, I showed you how to make silk-screened sheets of polymer clay.\r
\r
Then in a follow up video, I used those patterned sheets to make striped designs.\r
\r
Today, the lesson will be about using up your scraps from those previous videos, to make an organic looking, Bargello pattern.\r
\r
Actually, you can do this Bargello technique with any polymer clay scraps that you may have lying around.\r
\r
In the video I demonstrate how to flatten and roll-out your scrap clay into a loosely striped, organic looking sheet of clay.\r
\r
The next step is to cut that sheet into strips, and stack them in a chevron, or zig-zag fashion.\r
\r
By slicing and lining up your clay strips in this manner you will end up with a Bargello patterned sheet of polymer clay.\r
\r
You will need to watch the video to get a better idea of how this is all done.\r
\r
I would also suggest you search Google Images for Bargello Patterns, to get inspiration for just how many variations you can create within a Bargello design. Alternating the number of strips, the widths and the distance you shift them up and down, can result in wonderfully complex design possibilities.\r
\r
Perhaps if there is enough interest, I could do a more in depth tutorial on more complex Bargello patterns in the future.? If this is something you would like to see, let me know in the comment section below.\r
\r
As you will see in todays video, you should never have the need to complain about having too much scrap clay, ever again.\r
