Materials:

Directions

1.

Condition all clay.

2.

Cover the illustration board lightly with a thin coat of polymer clay.

3.

Roll out two pieces of black clay on the third-largest setting on the pasta machine that are at least 8" in length. Lay these pieces of clay side by side on the book board, smoothing down the clay carefully to avoid air bubbles. Smooth the seam where the two pieces touch. Turn the piece over and trim the excess clay from the illustration board.

4.

Using sea sponge, lightly dab Lumiere paints on clay, one color at a time, until desired effect is reached.

5.

Roll out the pearl clay on the largest setting of the pasta machine.

6.

Using StazOn ink, stamp images on clay. Use a light touch when stamping – you do not want the image embedded in the clay.

7.

Trim around the stamped images, leaving a 1/4" to 1/2" border.

8.

Using paint brush, brush PearlEx powders onto clay.

9.

Using ruler and clay blade, cut stamped images into four equal pieces.

10.

Bake stamped tiles in oven using manufacture’s recommendations for time and temperature.

11.

After tiles have cooled, arrange tiles on base, leaving room for clock movement. To preserve tile effect, leave 1/8" between each stamped tile. When the desired layout is reached, firmly press tiles into polymer clay base to secure.

12.

Bake entire piece again at manufacture’s recommendations for time and temperature. Let the piece cool completely.

13.

With ruler, locate center of box lid. With craft knife or drill, cut opening large enough for clock mechanism to fit through.

14.

Carefully cover the surface of every stamped tile with a thin layer of Poly-Glaze. Let tiles dry until glaze turns clear.

15.

Attach clock mechanism to piece according to manufacturer’s instructions.
