This is one of my favorite palettes from design-seeds.com (check it out, they have many) and I used it to formulate some polymer clay color recipes that I then used for the pebble beads above. They're not perfect - feel free to tweak them if you like - but I did my best. Enjoy!

| The taupe color gave me the most trouble, as you can see by all these failed attempts, but I eventually found a color I am happy with! |
All color recipes use Premo Sculpey polymer clay. You may use these recipes in anything you make or sell, but if you post them, please link back to me at http://sleepyturtlebeads.blogspot.com. Thank you!

UPDATE It has come to my attention that Polyform has reformulated the Premo! Sculpey color "Rhino Gray" since I came up with these recipes, which throws off the color recipes for Brown and Dark Gray. I intend to re-do those two recipes to see if I can make them right. Until then, my apologies!
These colours are SO lovely!!!
ReplyDeletewhere do you get the dye from? do you think i'd be able to use this with my ordinary stoneware clay?
ReplyDeleteIt's not dye, it's just different colors of polymer clay. I'm sorry, I know nothing about stoneware clay!
