Color Mixing Polymer Clay – Leaf Green Recipe Ideas

4

Leaf Green Polymer Clay Color Inspiration

More abundant that any other color on this great planet, Green represents all things healthy, peaceful and tropical:

Think exotic rain forest, newly sprouted seedlings, fresh mown grass and tall vase of lush fern fronds. These leaf greens can be used as is or made into blends for making natural leaf canes. If you haven't already, be sure to read my Polymer Clay Recipe Intro for general mixing tips and techniques.


Polymer Clay Color Recipe CardThe recipes that were previously posted in this space [Leaf Green (light), Leaf Green (medium), Leaf Green (dark), Tropical Leaf Green (bright), Grape Vine] have been re-formated onto convenient downloadable index cards like the sample pictured to the left. The actual size of each recipe card is 4" x 6".

Two recipe cards are now published every week. The A-Series cards are included with the weekly video membership option at my Polymer Clay Tutor Library (Very Affordable Pricing :)

And the B-Series (Bonus Recipes) are available for FREE to everyone who subscribes to my Polymer Clay Tutor Guest List (Weekly Email Newsletter).

To customize these colors consider a pinch of white, black, brown, silver, gold or even red. Just in the tiniest amounts, to shift the color slightly and give it a warmer, cooler, dustier, richer or more muted tone. Write down your new recipe and bake a small chip of it to glue down beside your recipe for future reference.

I was watching some of your videos and went to the recipe page. I realized that I didn't have any of the "Bonus" colors. As a member, am I able to receive those? If not, can you tell me how I can get them? I love mixing my own colors. I have a new pc and still learning how to get around on it. I messed up my password and got that fixed. I just love your blog and your videos. I have told several friends to get on and check your blog out. I think it's great. I have learned so much. Thank you so much for explaining so even I can understand.

Hi Linda,

In regards to your question about the bonus color recipes, I'll take this opportunity to let you as well as everyone else know how they work.

Every month with the your library subscription, you will automatically receive 4 tutorial videos and 4 A-recipes.

The B-Recipes (Bonus-Recipes) are given away for free to those who subscribe to my Polymer Clay Guest List Newsletter.

Every week in this newsletter, I provide directions on how to download 2 new recipe cards to add to your collection.

This is the only way you can get the bonus recipes. So if you have not already done so, please follow the link by my name above to subscribe to my Polymer Clay Newsletter.

And it should go without saying that when you receive my newsletter editions in your inbox each week, that you will need to open the emails and actually read them. I say this because I'm always amazed at the number of people who subscribe but never actually read the emails.

And for anyone who just recently subscribed to the newsletter, or if you happen to have missed some of the bonus recipes, then be sure to always be watching for my emails. I occasionally provide special instructions on how to access archived recipes that you may have missed.

PS: Thanks Linda for telling your friends about this blog. I really appreciate it!
