Really? Simply offsetting a Skinner blend could result in this? Our little group couldn’t quite believe Claire Wallis’ tutorial in the latest issue of ArtJewelry magazine (it’s a particularly good issue for polymer folks). We had to try it. One person read the instructions while the rest of us followed along with clay. And yes, we all sort of screwed up the first time but that didn’t stop us.

Here’s Meisha Barbee’s (red) sample, plus mine (blue), Dayle Doroshow’s (bottom left) and Julie Eakes (bottom right).

We proved  that Claire Wallis was correct. Once we got it, we could not leave the concept alone and you’ll see Dayle’s results at the right and Meisha’s earrings here.
