Gold Polymer Clay as a Base for Mixing Custom Colors

Tip #20: How To Make a Bunch Of Mismatched Clay Colors Look Great Together:

Gold polymer clay is a great base color to use for mixing up custom colors that look great beside each other. It's similar to mixing paint where the varying shades in a particular collection, all "work" nicely together because they all share a common base color.

So with polymer clay, if you have a bunch of different colors that don't quite go together (or even if they clash) you can mix portions of the mismatched colors with your gold base clay. What you'll end up with is a beautiful range of shades that all look like they were meant to be together. Don't forget to write down your mix details in a recipe format for future reference.

This mixing technique will work with any neutral colored polymer clay such as white, black, grey, beige, pearl, silver, and of course gold.

Getting a group of somewhat mismatched colors to flow together is quite easy when you add a little of the same color to each. In this video you can see how I mix gold into a group of bright colors to get a shimmery batch of fall shades.
