I use it all the time&#8230; and you can too.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Color mixing polymer clay can be intimidating for a lot of people, but this trick will make it a lot easier to come up with your own custom color palette.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I show some colors from the Premo color line, that don&#8217;t go together very nicely straight from the pack.. Fuchsia, Orange, Cadmium Yellow, Green and Raw Sienna.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">If I take those same colors and <em>Plus 1<\/em> them with some Gold or Black or any other color, I can make a really neat color palette that pulls everything to together in an aesthetically pleasing way.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I demonstrate mixing 1 part of the base color Fuchsia and 1\/2 part Gold clay to make a beautiful iridescent Raspberry color. I then continue down the line, mixing 1 part color and 1\/2 part Gold to each of the colors. Watch the video to see how simple this technique is to do.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Mixing my plus one color (in this case it was a 1\/2 part Gold), to each of the base colors I want to use, creates a new color palette that flows together, because each of them have the underlying Gold color in common.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I show the same formula being done with the same base colors (Fuchsia, Orange, Cad. Yellow, Green, Raw Sienna) mixed with a Plus 1 color of 1\/8 part Black. Because Black is such a strong color, I chose to much less in the mix, than I did the Gold.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">You can use this <em>Plus 1<\/em> color mixing trick for making palettes with any colors that you choose. You will have to experiment with amounts of the Plus 1 color you would like to add, because each color has a different strength.<a name=\"video\"><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZoUl3lcWOEY?rel=0\" height=\"323\" width=\"575\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #808080;\">Question of the Day:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Are you a little bit intimidated by color mixing?
