Making Own Textures

 Here is a little technique of creating texture sheets for your poly clay project.I do not had any scrap clay, hence I used some soft clay of sculpey. Take clay as much as you need size of the texture. For being first trial I thought to make a small sheet with a small ball of conditioned clay.
(Though picture quality is not that good, it may help you)

You can use anything to make impressions on clay like different shaped beads, cereals, leaves. flowers, tooth prick, whatever things you got will add variety of patterns.

Now we gonna roll the clay little thick either with roller or by pasta machine. Spray some water over clay which prevents sticking together.Take the desired 'tool' and press gently on the clay sheet. But the impression should be deep enough to have an embossing on our piece of work. Use a tooth prick to pick beads and to hold easily. (Simply insert the tip into bead hole). 

Here , with a small flower bead I made a floral pattern, added leaves and stem by just tall - short strokes.

I love roses, I had some roses and leaves I made early for a neck set. Now my hands tried on them. 

I finished like this,  then turn the oven on. It baked at 130 degree celcius for 15 minutes .

Yes, its working....

A pendant with a textured bail is the out come of approximate one hour work and tried "sutton's slice" method, I say as the first trial for using texture on clay some what I succeed.. Though its not a perfect piece at all.

Its fast as well as easy... D.I.Y....
