Photo # 2Take dark purple (lilac) clay andpink flowers. Knead each one separately and form into small cubes. Now we cut it diagonally, but not in half, but somewhere at an angle of 60 °. We take dark purple pieces and combine them with pink ones. Now we have two bars that contain both colors. We place them with the dark side facing each other (see photo) and roll them in a pasta machine several times to ensure an even transition of colors. We have a ribbon with a beautiful gradient. Pink edges and purple middle. Fold the workpiece like an accordion. Using your fingers, gently press it into a drop-shaped cane so that the pink outer sides touch along the sharp edge. The wide base turned purple.How to make a ring of polymer clay with a decorative element in the form of an orchid flower, step by step photos and description. Picture №3We cut our cane into pieces. Need 5.We take our patterns and use our fingers to align the shape of the cut with the shape of the petals. The orchid has two large round and three small oval petals.
