Polymer Clay Kaleidoscope Pendant

1. Roll out two sheets of clay measuring 3" x 4" one black, one white rolled on the thickest setting of the pasta machine.

2. Stack sheets and adhere with an acrylic rod. Cut the stack into thirds and stack again rolling between each layer with an acrylic rod (figure H).

3. Mark the clay stack with a Marxit (figure I) using the 3mm side to make equal sized strips (figure J).

4. Cut into strips to form the checkerboard (figure K). Cut strips with a "Precise-a-Slice" to insure even strips. Rearrange strips alternating black and white at the top to form the checkerboard (figure L).
