This technique is perfect for making earrings, pendants, frames, beads, or whatever you want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">A few weeks ago, I showed you how to make silk-screened sheets of polymer clay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Then in a follow up video, I used those patterned sheets to make striped designs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Today, the lesson will be about using up your scraps from those previous videos, to make an organic looking, Bargello pattern.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Actually, you can do this Bargello technique with any polymer clay scraps that you may have lying around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">In the video I demonstrate how to flatten and roll-out your scrap clay into a loosely striped, organic looking sheet of clay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The next step is to cut that sheet into strips, and stack them in a chevron, or zig-zag fashion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">By slicing and lining up your clay strips in this manner you will end up with a Bargello patterned sheet of polymer clay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">You will need to watch the video to get a better idea of how this is all done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I would also suggest you search Google Images for Bargello Patterns, to get inspiration for just how many variations you can create within a Bargello design. Alternating the number of strips, the widths and the distance you shift them up and down, can result in wonderfully complex design possibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Perhaps if there is enough interest, I could do a more in depth tutorial on more complex Bargello patterns in the future&#8230;?
